PS3 About the "★ Unlock" option on CFW...

Hello everyone
I'm making this thread to ask about this option on CFW that let's you unlock any trophy. A few months ago, i read that this option only unlocks the trophy offline and i'm wondering:

- If that is correct, and if i try to sync the trophies, does it unlock it online too or not? And if it unlocks online, do i have to worry about getting banned for using this option? (i want to use it to show the game as 100% completed offline, not worring too much about the sync)

- Does if affect the ability to unlock other trophies normally? (i saw someone saying that when they used this option, other trophies unlocked normally were not popping for that person)

I tried to search something about this feature, but never found a good explanation of how it works, only people saying that it unlocks offline.

Thanks for your attention.

They will not sync online because they have debug flags on it.
Ok, but if i use this to unlock trophies offline and then after some time, i unlock other trophies normally and then try to sync said trophies, do i risk getting flagged or banned or they will just sync normally and ignore the ones unlocked with "★ Unlock"?
Use a mod menu or appolo save tool, they will synch to your account.
I know i can use those tools, but i want to use this option to unlock the trophies that can no longer be unlocked normally (just to show 100% offline, but keep the synced trophies "legit")
 
Debug features like this one, sets debug flag on each trophy you touch, and probably in trophy index too. You can freely mixing retail/debug and syncing them in both ways (debug one will not count in stats but syncing only). Once you did that on trophy, even if lock it again, you will not remove that flag.

Cool. So, if i understand it correctly, if i want to use this feature the right way, i should unlock all trophies i can unlock normally, and when only the unavailable ones and the platinum are remaining, i can use the unlock option to unlock it offline so it shows as 100% without messing with the synced ones, right?

Forgot to ask; when you say trophy index, you mean the trophy list of the game i use the unlock option, right?

That's my assumption, which I never bother to confirm. For sure debug flags are a thing for each trophy on list from each game trophy set.

All trophies which lies on HDD are offline, but once data of modification is newer than data on that trophy on servers side, it will be sync with servers and stay forever that way, overwriting data on your PS3HDD every time you do syncing.
