Hello to Everyone!
I want to know is there is anyway to unlock trophies without earning or to edit our trophy information on an ofw console?
 
I've seen people post "Save Sets" around the web before to help users achieve trophies on OFW by resigning other peoples saves and triggering the event in-game to pop the trophy. I don't know much about it though unfortunately as I achieve trophies legitimately.
 
On OFW You have no way to copy them outside PS3 and copy them back to PS3. You cannot get EID Root Key to read the HDD on PC, and system backup doesn't cover up trophies.

To edit (and sign) trophies You need to know Your IDPS and NP Account ID, which are possible to get on OFW (IDPS via PS3Xploit tools and AID is i.e on every save's PARAM.SFO in plain text).

Trophies can be unlocked on debug XMB (so You need DEX/DEH/DECR console, DEX convert from retail or hybrid like Rebug REX/D-REX). However, unlocked trophies in such way flagged whole set as debug and doesn't count in statistics (they are sync with SEN fine anyway, but of course is a easy way to be banned ;)).

You can copy the trophies from the PS3 using the file copier. After modding them however you like, you can create a custom pkg that installs to the user's home directory (I did this myself a couple days ago when my HDD was corrupted, I created a custom pkg that restored all of my content).

So it is very possible on OFW.
 
Ok, but last evening I read that only one file per transfer, and it must be defined by the user. I cannot imagine copying few thousands of files in such way.

About PKG: I didn't think about it in such way. Clever. ^^

I was shocked when people are installing 14,000 rifs/edats via PKG all at once..

I think he can "install" it with a pkg, editing package.conf, ForcedInstallTo attribute. I'm not sure if it works.

Yep, using the file copier is not exactly practical for this, but it is possible. BTW, all files are copied to the backup, it's just that certain files (act.dat, trophies, some others) are excluded when restoring it. You can still extract them and create pkgs to restore them, which is why the backup utility is not totally pointless IMO.

You can also start a backup and pull the storage device at like 5%, there may be a chance that the trophies are included and you can extract them.

Edit1: Sorry, @lmn7 already wrote that. So, the main problem is how to extract the trophies...
 
@lmn7 Are You sure that sysbup contain trophies? Last time when I made such "full copy" was fw around 3.40 and years later when I open them in ps3xport there is no any trophy dir (both: in unprotected and protected archives).

@jcorrea If sysbup indeed contain trophies it is easy to extract but You need OpenPSID and IDPS (second only if they are inside protected archives).

It definitely does, that's how I was able to restore my trophies after formatting my HDD. You don't need PSID either, you just need the IDPS as they are stored in the protected archive. You can use my ps3xport gui to extract if you like, just make sure you use "extract all files", as the other extraction options are buggy due to the ps3xport binary itself.

Not sure as I've never modded trophies, it would be some files in dev_hdd0/home/x/trophy though. Read up on how to use the trophyisgood tool, and figure it out.

@Imn7 If you have time can you add folder/directory copy feature for HAN File Copier.Is it possible for you?

Not possible, as I said Sony never implemented syscall to copy directories. There are workarounds but none of them are clean, maybe something will be done in the future.
