Re-formating of T55x7 Card.

I have successfully clone a HID card to a T55x7. Is it possible to "re-format" the cloned T55x7 card because I want to make use of that T55x7 card to clone a EM410x card. Since the 2 cards are using different kind of modulation techniques, is this possible?

Is there a command or script being written that can perform the above mentioned?

Just send new write commands to it.  No need to wipe it.

indeed,  the t55x7 is very easy,..  just write to it, even if the config block is screwed up.

Re: Re-formating of T55x7 Card.

I have three cards that are somewhat broken - they don't react to any read or write command, the only thing I can do is to read Traceability block (64 bits in page 1) - data are correct and all parities are good. Any ideas how to make those cards working again? Even if I try to write factory-defaults to block 0 it doesn't wake up. Every command ends up with no data:

lf t55xx read b 0

These are Q5Bs, maybe not 100% compatible to T55xx, but I still don't get the fact it can be broken like this by writing (any) specific configuration.

Re: Re-formating of T55x7 Card.

if you wrote an invalid block 0 then it is possible you permanently locked it, and no fix is possible.  (lock bit set) (or sent a read command with password when the tag wasn't configured with a password....)

that seems to be the case if you cannot overwrite it.

Re: Re-formating of T55x7 Card.

Actually I am pretty sure what has done that. I have activated only Page select bit. Everything else corresponds to card's factory defaults. I am using Q5S, so the config word that destroyed the card was definitely 60 09 F0 04 (at least this is what was meant to be sent, I didn't scan the RF communication which could differ).

Writing factory defaults (60 01 F0 04) didn't have any effect.

Re: Re-formating of T55x7 Card.

Not sure what the page select mode is, but we only use blockread in the source code.

try rewrite a default block with a direct write.

Re: Re-formating of T55x7 Card.

If you use the fork from @marshmellow or mine,  the latest fixes for Q5 is there.  I don't think @marshmellow pushed a PR for his changes yet to PM3 master. Maybe time for a new release afterwards.

Q5B specification:

The data rate is binary programmable to operate
at any bit rate between RF/2 and RF/128. If
the “page select” bit is set, the data encoding
and bit rate is fixed to Manchester RF/64

Re: Re-formating of T55x7 Card.

if writing your block 0 to 00148040 worked then your tag is not a Q5, but a T55x7.

Re: Re-formating of T55x7 Card.

I wonder if 00148040 is a working configblock for Q5 and if the detection code would detect it as Q5.  The default ones I've seen starts with 60..
