1) go to manage game and addons
2) saved data
3) do not hit delete all (will not work), press start, delete saved data, delete everywhere
4) saved data should be gone, if not keep doing it till it is
5) start the campaign. When you first get control in chapter 1, press start and check your diary, if it says not found then you're good. collect chapter 1 diary and chapter 2 diary. It'll take you about 5-7 min.
6) repeat steps 1)-5)
Keep monitoring your achievement progress and eventually it'll chime complete. Playing normally takes much longer as diaries are pretty rare in the first few levels and not worth it compared to the time spent. Good luck!
-you get about 3% per diary
Check out the video below for a full playthrough of the game showing all collectibles, miscellaneous achievements like this one, and the Moral Points I obtained (I skipped a lot of them) in order to get the Published and Redemption achievements.
In total, there are forty-three Diary pages that are scattered about the various levels within the entirety of the game. These pages are unique in appearance: they are large brown folders with a bright yellow “M” on the front and they emit a bright glow/shine. Upon successfully snagging them all, this achievement will be yours. Also, please take note that none of these collectibles are missable; however if you do happen to miss any during either of your playthroughs, you can always reload an individual level via Chapter Select in the Main Menu.
Overall, some of these collectibles can usually be found in plain sight as you are progressing through each level while others will often time be hidden off the main path, thus requiring a decent amount of exploration. For this reason, it is highly recommended to hunt down these collectibles on your Survival Mode playthrough since exploration for resources will be necessary anyways. As a final note, collectible progress will be saved as soon as they are picked up and you can check the “Diary” tab in the Pause Menu at anytime to see a detailed checklist regarding which collectibles you have already obtained.

Note: Do not start a new game in Metro 2033 Redux while collecting the Diaries in Metro: Last Light Redux. Doing so will delete all your collectible progress (Thanks to PowerPyx for testing this with version 1.00 of the game)!!!

Knocked it out!!!, did it like this:
1. Disconnected the set-top box from the network.
2. Deleted the game save from the console (Menu game management - save)
3. Started a new game and collected 5 notes.
4. Closed the game and returned the Internet.
5. Launch the game and get the trophy.
I assume this procedure will work in all games with glitchy trophies.
