PS3 About the trophy files extracted from system backup

Hi everyone,
I am new one here
I wanna get some suggestion about the recovery of trophy files from the system backup
I found my old ps3 system backup file in my old HDD
And I extracted my trophy files from it
But all of them are unviewable such as the icon PGN files and SFO file
They look like be encrypted

Is there any method to recovery these trophy files and import them into the current system?

Regards
 
Trophies are binded by PSID and ERK (by console).

If you change one of the two, your trophies can not be imported "as is".

Try using Apollo Save Tool to export and import them, I think there is a feature for that.
 
Could you attach any of PNG files from trophy set? Or send me eg. on PM, any trophy set? I will be able to tell you if they are encrypted or not. Actually AFAIR, trophies aren't stored in sysbup, for sure not restored from it.

Here is the icon file from the extracted trophy folder in the system backup file
and the original file exported from ps3

They had the same file size but just only the one exported from ps3 is able to view directly

I think I have tried to do that, but the those file could not be read by Apollo save tool and PS3TrophyIsGood

Attached is encrypted or just garbage (whole file filled by random values). I wouldn't trust extraction then at all for any data.

How you extracted them from *.dat archives in the first place? Used which tool exactly?

Thanks for looking into it
I extracted it by PS3Xport Tool 1.1
 
Could also try PS3TrophyIsGood. That's a lot slower and more manual than Apollo but worst case scenario it should let you view the trophies for a potential effort later.
