Head to the Survival: Roof (Hard) (or the
Survival Hard mode that you picked) and play it until flag 8.
Leave the level and rename your save data from game#_10 (or game#_6 to game#10) to game#_13.
Enter Survival: Endless and continue your game from there.
With Cheat Engine
This method will make it a lot faster to play Survival: Endless on the Roof while
it is nighttime. However, you need Cheat Engine.
Preparations
Open up Cheat Engine and the game.
Make sure in the select process window (popup when you click the flashing computer button) you select either popcapgame1.exe or PlantsVsZombies.exe depending on the game version.
Go to Zombotany (or any level. You just need its ID number.) and type 16 in the search bar. Click "New Scan" or "First scan" (depending on Cheat Engine
version)
Go to another level. In this case, we choose Last Stand.
Type 31 (or the ID of the level you chose) in the search bar and click "Next Scan".
If there is one address, select it. If not, go back to the first level you chose and scan its ID number. If there is still more than one address, go back and forth between the two levels you chose until you get
only one address.
The actual cheating
Head to Dr. Zomboss's Revenge but before the screen fully scrolls to the right, quickly change the value from 35 to 16 (or any Choose your Seeds level).
Select the plants you want to bring for Survival: Endless.
Start the level but before the screen scrolls back to the left, change the value to 35 (or any
conveyor-belt levels like Column Like You See 'Em).
Wait for all your seed slots to be filled first.
Change the value from 35 (or the conveyor belt level's ID) to 30. Defeat all the zombies on the screen and Dr. Zomboss until you get
some sun.
Change the value to 13 and continue your game from there.

Last Stand Endless on PC
Last Stand Endless can be played on the PC
version by modifying a saved file of Survival: Endless to Last Stand after flag 11 but only the zombies in the Last Stand mini-game will appear and the same choice of plants will be used in every round.
Play Survival: Endless until flag 11.
Go to
userdata folder and rename game#_13 to game#_31.
Go to Last Stand and the game will be endless.
Alternatively, you can use Cheat Engine. Do what you would do above but change the value 13 to 31. You will be in Last Stand automatically.
You can also use this hack to play Last Stand in different areas (Day, Night, Fog, Roof). Just rename the save files of the respective survival levels to game#_31 (See I, Zombie hack for the names of the save files).

Win Slot Machine instantly
Note: If you are trying for the Lucky Spin achievement, it is not advised to use this hack.
Requirement:
Plants vs Zombies
Cheat Engine
Steps:
Open both requirements.
Open
Slot Machine.
Scan the current amount of sun.
Spend or gain some sun.
Double-click the address (if there's 2 or more address,Repeat step 3 and 4)

DONE
Spawn any zombies
This allows you to spawn zombies anytime and anywhere you want.
To do this, you'll
need:
Tree of Wisdom with some zombies spawned
Zen Garden
with Dr. Zomboss, a Giga-gargantuar, and some zombies
Original version of Plants vs. Zombies (not the GOTY one)
PvZ Tools
Steps:
Open Plants vs. Zombies and PvZ Tools.
Go to any level.
Switch to PvZ Tools. Uncheck "Pool Level," even when you're on it, and select lanes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (and 6 if you're
playing on a pool/fog level).
For the zombie selection, pick the second radio button (which says "Zombie") and change the zombie to anything you want, then click "Spawn Zombie".
You should see that there's a zombie spawned.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to spawn more zombies. It makes for some bizarre screenshots.
Notes:
Using the "Edit probabilities" option allows you to randomize the zombies to be spawned, with adjustable sliders for each zombies' spawn
rates.
The timed loop mode allows for an automatic spawn of zombies at set intervals (defined in milliseconds) when active.
This allows for an AFK gameplay of I, Zombie Endless; just set the zombies to spawn, activate the timed loop mode and you're all set.
In Zen Garden, the zombies will eat or crush your plants, but they'll be restored if you leave and reenter the it.
In Zen Garden or Tree of Wisdom, if one of the zombies reaches the leftmost side of
the screen, the game still displays the standard losing message "The zombies ate your brains!", and if you click the "Try again" button on Game Over dialog box, you'll start at the Zen Garden with all your plants restored or the Tree of Wisdom.
This can be used to make some minigames a lot harder
See the Almanac entries of
"hidden" plants and zombies
This allows you to see the Almanac entries of Explode-o-nut, Giant Wall-nut, Sprout, all
ZomBotany zombies, and Giga-gargantuar.
How to see almanac entries of "hidden" plants and zombies in Plants vs. Zombies CHEAT ENGINE HACK
Video tutorial
You'll need:
Plants vs. Zombies (any versions)
Cheat Engine
Steps:
Open
Plants vs. Zombies and Cheat Engine, then select popcapgame1.exe (if present), or PlantsVsZombies.exe (if popcapgame1.exe isn't present).
Go to Suburban Almanac, and select "View plants" (if you want to see hidden plants Almanac entries) or "View zombies" (if you want to see hidden zombies Almanac entries).
Select Repeater (for plant), or Buckethead Zombie (for zombie).
Go to Cheat Engine, then scan for 7 (for Repeater) or 4 (for Buckethead Zombie).
Go back to
Plants vs. Zombies and select Chomper (for plant) or Pole Vaulting Zombie (for zombie).
Go to Cheat Engine, and this time, scan for 6 (for Chomper) or 3 (for Pole Vaulting Zombie).
If you found one address, select it. If you found two, select the second address. If you found more than two, then repeat steps 3-6 until there are only one or two results.
Right-click on the added address, then select "Find out what writes to this address."
Go back to Plants vs.
Zombies, then select any plant or zombie. Cheat Engine should now show an opcode. Click it, then click "Replace," after that, click OK.
Go back to Cheat Engine main window, then change the value of the address you added to 49 (Explode-o-nut), 50 (Giant Wall-nut), or 51 (Sprout), 52, (Reverse Repeater), 55, (null) if you choose to see hidden zombies entries, or change it to 26 (Peashooter Zombie), 27 (Wall-nut Zombie), 28 (Jalapeno Zombie), 29 (Gatling Pea Zombie), 30 (Squash Zombie), 31
(Tall-nut Zombie), or 32 (Giga-gargantuar), 33 (Zombatar Flag Zombie), 35 (Weird Puff-Shroom Zombie), 36, (Hair-00) if you choose to see hidden zombies entries.
Finally, click on any plant or zombie, and you should see the Almanac entry of the hidden plant/zombie now.
Repeat step 10 and 11 if you want to see another plant/zombie's Almanac entry, or repeat steps 2-11 if you want to switch from plant to zombie, or vice versa.
Notes:
Explode-o-nut, Giant
Wall-nut, Sprout, and Giga-gargantuar don't have any Almanac entry descriptions, but it might be possible to add them by editing the LawnStrings.txt.
All ZomBotany zombies use the same entry as the normal zombie, and therefore, it might be the reason why all ZomBotany zombies' names don't show up when you hover over them in ZomBotany or
ZomBotany 2.
Attempting to go past those plant/zombie IDs will probably crash the game, but some IDs might not cause the game to crash.
Endless Minigames
This allows for any minigame to be endless, albeit with frequent crashing.
Needed:
Plants vs. Zombies (any versions)
Cheat Engine
Steps:
Find the minigame ID using the cheat engine and going between any two minigames and searching for their ID's (say, Zen Garden, 43 and Wall-nut Bowling, 17).
Find the ideal area type and starting conditions (pool, roof, night, etc.) in any minigame or Adventure mode level.
Before the screen pans to the right, replace the minigame ID number with 13.
Choose your seeds and begin.
Preferably before the screen pans to the left, replace the minigame ID with
whatever minigame ID you want to make endless. A full list of ID's can be found at Hybrid mini-games.
Preferably before the minigame's end, replace the minigame ID number with 13.
Repeat steps 4-6 as needed or allowed (remember that you can crash at any time for any reason).
Instant-use plants explode
instantly
This will make instant-use plants (e.g. Cherry Bomb or Ice-shroom) explode immediately after planted or woken up with Coffee Bean.
In Cheat Engine, click on "Memory View."
Press Ctrl+G and type either 00463408 if you're using the old version of the game, or 00466E22 if you're using the GOTY version, then hit Enter.
Double-click on the highlighted address and replace "jne" with "je" without changing anything else, then hit Enter.
Try
using an instant-use plant. It should explode immediately after being planted or woken up with Coffee Bean (in the case of sleeping Ice-shroom or Doom-shroom).
Plant any plants
You will be able to choose any seed packs, even exclusive ones for mini-games (the landing result in a normal game and in a I zombie may differ).
Any plants
Requirements:
Cheat Engine
Plants vs. Zombies
Steps:
Go to Column Like You See 'Em
Your first plant should have been a potato mine
Write 4 in the input field and click First Scan
Plant a potato mine. Your second plant should be a tall
nut
Enter 23 in the input field and click Next scan
You must have one address, if you have one address, you are good and you can enter numbers from 1 to 75 (except 53) there, but some of them will cause the game to crash when planting
In I zombie
I zombie more stable in the quality of planting, so I advise you to test the numbers here
Go to I zombie or any level where the seed pack is a normal zombie
Write 60 in the input field and click First Scan
Go to the level where the first seed pack
is an imp (or other zombie if you know its ID)
Enter 74 in the input field and click Next scan
You must have one address, if you have one address, you are good and you can enter numbers from 1 to 75 (except 53) there, but some of them will cause the game to crash when landing.
Easy win hack
This cheat will let you win any level you want.
You need:
Plants vs. Zombies
Cheat engine
Steps:
Get the level ID of the level you're in (for this instance, Zombontany so 16)
Go to Seeing Star (or any other level. Seeing stars is 22)
Go back and forth between the two levels until there's only 1 value left. If there's still 2, the one that changes to the IDs you have chosen is the one.
Open up and level you're stuck at (or want to easily clear)
Now before the level starts, change the ID to 33.
Wait a while until a two Giant Wall-Nuts appear.
Change the ID to 27
Plant those two columns of Giant Wall-Nuts.
Change the ID to either 33 or 17.
Now wait until all the zombies are dead and you have the level prize.
Change the ID to the level you're stuck at.
DONE!
Note: It's recommended you do not choose
any level that starts you in Pool, Fog, or Roof due to the game not letting you plant on the tiles.
