CFW ONLY
Note: consoleid in global.conf can be all "00" , so enter the "00" byte 16 times for it to work (32 0 total)

This is basically the method to hack every trophy on Playstation 3, from editing the TROPTRNS.DAT, the file that is installed, everytime you run a game, and it's basically the files that actually stores the trophy status and unlock date.
Difference between TROPTRNS.DAT and TROPUSR.DAT
The difference between the two files is:
• TROPTRNS.DAT: Actually stores trophy unlocks and status
• TROPUSR.DAT: Stores trophy timestamps and displays them in the trophy collection (XMB)
• TROPUSR.DAT: Stores trophy timestamps and displays them in the trophy collection (XMB)
Occurrent:
• Trophy Modding Toolkit:

• HxD

• Ps3 Timestamp Generator
[URL="https://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1nked1p1p9lp5ix"]Download Ps3 Timestamp Generator[/URL]
Steps:
• Step 1: Download the folder and modify the global.conf as stated. (New update includes already made global.conf)
• Step 2: Take your NPWR0XXXX_00 from your Ps3 (dev_hdd0/home/000000XX/trophy/)
• Step 3: Put your NPWR Folder in (C:\) in your Computer.
• Step 4: Open TRNS Tool.exe , and input "d" to decrypt, then you will be asked to insert you NPWR folder name, stored in C:\.
• Step 5: Now your TROPTRNS.DAT will be decrypted. Open it in HxD and look for Offset 0x2C0, this is the trophy installation date , you will se two timestamps, first timestamps is Block 2C1-2C7, second is block 2C9-2CF , as you can see each timestamps is composed by 7 bytes. You do not need to modify these timestamps.
• Step 6: First trophy is block 340-3EF , to unlock it you are going to change these bytes:
• Offset: 357 is the status, for each trophy block , the status is located at second line, seventh coloumn. To unlock the trophy, change it to "02" , it means the trophy is unlocked
• Offset: 373 is the trophy id, you can see id's in the TROPCONF.SFM file, stored in the NPWR folder, the first trophy in the Hex (first block) is going to be the 2nd trophy cause the Platinum is going to be the last one with id "00" , to set the id at Offset 373, just copy the byte that is over this one example:
• Offset: 373 is the trophy id, you can see id's in the TROPCONF.SFM file, stored in the NPWR folder, the first trophy in the Hex (first block) is going to be the 2nd trophy cause the Platinum is going to be the last one with id "00" , to set the id at Offset 373, just copy the byte that is over this one example:
• Block: 377-37A is the trophy type, its gonna be:
[LEFT]Bronze: 04 00 00 10[/LEFT] [LEFT]Silver: 03 00 00 10[/LEFT] [LEFT]Gold: 02 00 00 10[/LEFT] [LEFT]Platinum: 01 00 00 10[/LEFT]
Now you will have to look at TROPCONF.SFM and see which trophy has the ID you set and print the bytes for the trophy type. You can do the same thing since copying the byte that is over.
• Offset: 380 Here you will have to print your 2 timestamps. In a legit earned TROPTRNS.DAT the 2 timestamps are different (milliseconds difference) , but now you can put the same for both entries, so generate it with Ps3 timestamp generator and paste it. See Step 5 for positions and blocks.
• Each Trophy Block starts with:
00 00 00 04 00 00 00 A0 00 00 00 ID 00 00 00 00
and ends with:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
• Step 7: First trophy is unlocked. Now repeat this action for all trophies. Then look for these positions:
• Offset: 110 Here is stored your Sen ID , if you're using a TROPTRNS.DAT from a user where you already did access Sen, there will be bytes with your sen ID, otherwise they will be nulled.
• Offset: 167 Here is stored the number of total entries, to determinate this, you will have to insert the number of trophies you unlocked , +1 , for example: You unlocked 51 trophies. In Hex: 51 = 33. So you will put 34.
• Offset: 167 Here is stored the number of total entries, to determinate this, you will have to insert the number of trophies you unlocked , +1 , for example: You unlocked 51 trophies. In Hex: 51 = 33. So you will put 34.
• Step 8: To unlock the platinum trophy or the one with ID 00 (Games without plat) , you will have to insert it at the end, as last trophy.
• Step 9: When you're done editing your TROPTRNS.DAT, save it and open TROPTRNS Tool.exe again, input "e" and your NPWR Folder. Upload it to your Ps3 , log in your SEN account and Sync the trophies.
FAQ:
Q: Your tool is not working for me, how can i fix it?
A: If my tool is not working for you just use these commands on pfdtool to decrypt:
Encryption: -g NPWR*****_00 -e (your Path) TROPTRNS.DAT
Decryption: -g NPWR*****_00 -d (your Path) TROPTRNS.DAT
Q: Timestamp generator wont generate my hex value, what can i do?
A: Make sure you did add all values in textboxes.

hi I'll try to explain, sorry I'm French. I connect my account on the CFW, I connect to psn and I sync my trophies, but my trophy does not appear in the TROPTRNS.DAT, there is just the start date and my psn account, is this normal?
IF I already have in my account and synchronized 32 trophies I unlocked 2 with this method, the TROPTRNS.DAT I should put 3 or 35 to 167 in hexadecimal offset.

Just put how many you are unlocking at this time plus the +1

This guide assumes that TROPUSR.DAT has nothing to do with the PSN - which is incorrect. When you read the header section at 0x0127-0x0128 you can find the beginning of section 7 in that file. I call this block "Last Sync information". The block is 5 rows and it has the timestamp for last sync. It also has the information about how many trophies you have unlocked + 1 and how many of them are synced to PSN. Section 5 (location can be tracked from header - address 0x0107-0x0108. I call this block "Sync details". This has information about the file creation and modification dates, last trophy date, unlock count, progress and checksum (this is only changed by server after sync, not when you earn trophies). Also there a section for PSN account - this can be found from header address 0x0067-0x0068. Its 4 rows and has hash of your PSN account. Not sure what algorithm is used for the hash but this will stay the same no matter what console you are on or whats your account_id. Also every trophy information block (those can be located from the header address 0x0147-0x014
has information if the trophy is synced to PSN already or not.
So TROPUSR.DAT does have a lot of information about PSN in it, but based on this thread it seems that it doesn't check it or if it does, it doesn't to it in every situation. Maybe some of the errors people receive are because those files are out of sync.

Very useful information. Any idea how to calculate the checksum in "section 5" mentioned above in TROPUSR.dat? I do find the checksum changed after you earned one trophy without any sync. Thanks.

If anyone would be interested in doing a service of taking my legit earned trophies from my banned psn account to my new account and syncing them up PM me. I'd be willing to pay, I just want to recover my trophies from my banned account. But great work everyone that have been working on this project.

I never spent any time on that. I know that this hash is also whats listed in TROPSYS.DAT. I doubt its changed when you earn a trophy, I can be wrong though. I think its changed when you patch your game and the patch adds trophies, when you sync to PSN and possibly other condition. It never changed on me when I just unlocked a trophy.
