can sync timestamp before 2020,but after 2020 unable.
sync progress run well,but 0% at PSN.

I tried 4 account(2 are new create) all the same.
Even I deleted a account and download info from psn,then unlock a local trophy then upload, still no luck.

I googled, mod trophy will not upload sucess,but I never mod.

So I checked my ps3, only seems mess up is set IDPS & MEM setting 2nd block to 10000000
but dont think it change real idps.and I can log in psn without any issue.so that's not a problem.
and other setting I dont remember changed.

I upload pic take a look.

Any possible sony limit sync to me?

If you have modded your trophies, then lots of issues may arise trying to sync them.

Regarding IDPS, use other tools to get that value and compare them between them, just to see if it is invalid indeed or there is some other issue.

Maybe your console is not activated on your PSN account. It happened to me that my PS3 "dissapeared" from the linked consoles in my PSN account, but the act.dat file was valid and could still connect to PSN.
 
1.Strange is I never modded trophies.
2.What tools? compare whom？
3.I never link ps3 to my account, log in psn no need to connect account .
but I can sync trophy timestamp before 2020,after 2020 not.
 
Sony identify users in network by NP Account ID. How do You think Sony could know who want copy his trophies to servers and who want copy them back? Think about it logically. ;) So they needs some account to be created, and validated by login plus password. When You signing in to their network or creating account, You getting Your unique ID which will stay on all Sony consoles unchanged forever.

So trophy files are signed by this ID and encrypted by IDPS to prevent moving them to another environment without Sony blessing. We (the scene) cracked this but not fully. So better is not attempting to any resigning because output data is not in 100% proper in all cases.

3.I never link ps3 to my account, log in psn no need to connect account .

Log-in to SEN is mandatory to link local account to SEN account. :P Otherwise You would not be able to sync ANY trophies. You cannot use not linked local account with SEN and syncing trophies because during first login to SEN on that local account, it assigns it to NPAID in the process.

If I were to never connect my account to PSN, I would find syncing trophies to be quite pointless

Like what is the point if nobody else can see them? Then the only person to impress would be yourself?? Don't get me wrong I just think that's kind of cynical.

There was a time before trophies, on PS3 before update 2.40 and it was a pretty great time.

When people could hammer through games and not care about silly points towards a trophy level, especially when they're not even connected to PSN to recieve any benefits from it like the PS rewards program.

Now that trophies exist, I sometimes feel like it takes away the drive that certain gamers have to finish a game all the way to platinum, being that some players just find it ridiculous or that some platinums far-and-few are nearly impossible to grind towards.

and moreover, trophies is just something that PS3 ripped off of the XBOX 360, after Microsoft had 1st ripped it off of websites where you could play flash games to earn medals towards your rank like Newgrounds.

and prior to that on PC's that come pre-bundled with game demo software (like back in times of Windows XP being new) you could use software like BigFishGames or WildTangent Games to play demos of desktop games and earn points toward other demos or full games

This system of tokens, medals, achievements and trophies has existed for a long time and I'm sure that it even goes further back than that.

My point is that alot of it has become completely redundant now, I don't even know what PS offers as rewards for trophy level but mine is 318 and never claimed anything besides games that are bundled with PS+ and that 1 time where everyone could choose between inFAMOUS or LittleBigPlanet thanks to the 2011 hack of PSN servers

I have XBOX ONE but rarely ever touch it, only ever played Gears of War 3 on it and have almost no achievements on that console so I haven't the slightest clue how their achievement rewards system works

and Nintendo Switch is just silly, play a game to the max just to earn some avatars and backsplashes for those avatars.

I don't see a point to showing anyone my trophies. I'm collecting and treating them as part of game and some kind of postcard.

Those "rewards" a literally trash. And points are and always was pointless.

They are no longer players then. But addicted idiots to colorful PNGs in colorful menu.
 
@Berion postcard? Lol I guess I see your point, though just as much could be "achieved" with timestamps on screenshots without having to dub them as trophies or achievements.

Most games I can go back and play even when trophies are done, it just feels that some games are made for trophies more than anything especially when there are like 130 or 77 its just overboard at points. I already know your response will be something basic like "then don't go for them" and I would have to agree for most part

Like, it would not feel so dead & pointless if they could reward you with a placard that has your username for reaching 500 or a real trophy for getting to 999 or whatever the cap is now... and I know it may seem like a silly concept but in other words what do people play sports or compete in Olympics for?

They get real physical trophy or medals for their long-endured and valorous efforts when I feel that S0NY could do something even slightly similar for people that have dedicated nearly 15 years into this online crap.

I know that there are comps for specific games that offer trophies for reaching into global ranks of skill but it is pretty sad that PSN will probably never look for a way to honor its gamers further but instead to keep changing, scalping, de-licensing, putting games in digital world only and every other thing to dishonor gamers who really have stuck it out with them since golden age of PS1 and PS2.

PS3 was great up to point of SO MANY game servers going permanently offline even before production cycle was over

PS4 is good to most degree but after cross-play ringing in hackers who inject chams from PC-side and so many never-ending updates it is probably hard for many avid collectors to keep everything up to date, that or whether or not to even trust certain updates.

and on PS5, I feel like I get a System Update every week. Finally some contents that would not download from PS store are finally working and things are getting better I guess... I take all the virtual freebies I can get but still definitely prefer physical over digital.

Have you never felt like you are constricted between 2 personalities? Like yeah, I've platted 6 out of 7 games that I've bought for PS5 so I kinda do feel like I'm in the category of a trophy gamer... But at same time I can play an old game for fun even when I already beat it 10 times over just for that nostalgia.

It's this void that I get tired of trying to fill at times. I've played video games since I was 7 and now I am 27. There are things to show in this world other than what I've done on a video game, it just gets so hard being an adult and a child-at-heart in the same process.

Gaming has really evolved my personality since days of Super Mario World on SNES or Sonic 2 on Dreamcast or Crash Bandicoot on PS1. I feel like I look back more often than I should.

EDIT: OP, I am so sorry for going this deep in your thread. :emptiness::bipolar::bullhead:

Activate only matter play game u purchased not sync trophy.
U log in psn account (not local ) u should sync no matter activate or not.

Maybe sony did some limit to my machine.
Only possible reason.

Being able to login to PSN with an account is not enough to sync trophies as they are strongly tied to PSN account and console (PS3, PS Vita, PS4, PS5) as Berion previously has explained.

You can not sync anything if your trophies are not tied to your console and account. Having trophies with dates up to 2020 only means that your console and account data were OK up to that year. After that someone started fooling around with the console's PSID or the trophies and now the console is not able to sync data properly.

And Sony doesn't apply "limits" to some consoles. It's all or nothing from them ("all" meaning banned console, banned account, or both).
 
@GuilloteTesla OK,THX U all explain,I total understand now.
Like as what I said above, I activated ps3 to an account still no luck.
I can log in PSN without issue, prove my idps and PSID are no problem.

But I still unable to sync. Maybe activate need take some time ？

Before activate I can sync trophy with timestamp before 2020, but after 2020 unable.

I soloved it partially.
Long story short.
I mis-click webman's idps hide button,then 2 games and 1 game's trophy ( I played, no any modded) with the wrong idps, so I can't sync them to PSN.
My question is
1. I wanted to synced these trophies to psn, how to do easy? Use trophyisgood resign to the right idps then sync?
2. If I coutinue play with the wrong idps's save, I will unlock trophy? If no,how to resign the save with right idps?
