PS3HEN Hen trophy sync

I am new to jailbreaking and I jailbroke my ps3 about a month ago and I installed rdr1 and I am getting the trophies without any account on my ps3 and I was thinking when I complete the games I wanna play how about I install ofw and connect my main account so I can sync the trophies I got while playing those games on my main account. Will that resort on any ban? Cause I don't wanna lose my main account nor synchronize the trophies I got to another account just for test.

You don't even need OFW for that, just restart your console and don't enable HEN before connecting.

Regarding the trophy sync - Should be fine as long as you did not mess up with them using homebrew. Here's some stuff that will probably get you banned, even if you switch back to OFW before syncing -
  • Creating fake trophies - This is one of the more common reasons for people getting banned, since Sony regards this as cheating and PSN seems to have heuristic methods of determining whether trophies are fake. If you have created any fake trophies then delete them before syncing, but note the next bullet too.
  • Deleting existing trophies - By existing I mean trophies you have already synced. AFAIK there's no way of really deleting trophies you've already earned but maybe I'm mistaken so this is easily detected. If you've already deleted trophies then unfortunately you cannot re-create them using homebrew since metadata (e.g., date and time) would be different. I'm not sure whether there are any alternatives other than creating a new user on your PS3 and syncing trophies back from the server.
  • Beta / Prerelease - If you have played any prerelease versions of games make sure you delete any and all trophies from these games before syncing. This games are obviously not supposed to be playable on retail systems and if you happened to obtain a trophy that was change or removed in the final release that's a great way to get caught and get banned.
 
There is always risk of ban, no matter what. Especially on not clean environment and especially with special syscalls enabled.

If You delete trophy, You can earn it again because is deleted (locked to be precise). ;) If You delete trophy set, You can register it again (by running game) because it is deleted.

You cannot deleting trophies on server side. Their indexes, and time stamps have highest priority, even if time stamp is empty, it will replace none empty (happen to me with cross platform PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate: on PSTV with dead CMOS battery I synced them with server, and on PS4 earned some of those trophies, then sync and all get empty time & date).

Beta, pre-release and press versions using the same trophy id (NPWRxxxxx) as retail. No reason for deleting them until trophy list or their points are different than release versions.
