Connect Android to Proxmark Easy?

Got my PM3 RDV4 with the blueshark today, I get this message when I try to use RFID tools, so I guess it’s running on a too new firmware :sweat_smile: for any app on my unrooted Huawei P30


Anyone feel up to giving me a super dumbed-down walk through on how to do this on a Mac running os X, i got kind of lost on the github explanation :open_mouth:

I don’t believe there are any apps that let you use any version of the iceman fork of the firmware on a unrooted device unfortunately.

Just to clarify, what is the “this” that you are trying to do?

Use the proxmark with your Mac in general?
Use the proxmark via Bluetooth with your Mac?
Use your Mac to get it working with your phone?

I’m in love with this X-LED lol I want to use it so badly but you can’t haha

If you’re looking for other uses for the xLEDs… (shameless plug incoming) A few of people on here are trying to make a bracelet to power the xLED style chips.


I have a few of the xFDs that came with your implant in the mail so that I can start prototyping. I’m planning on having one under a tattoo or multiple purely for the cool factor.

Oh shit that’s awesome yeah I read through that thread before. It’s really interesting.
That’s super amazing. I wish the NExT had an LED. Lol then it would be perfect lol. Even if it was like 2mm longer lol

You have seen the xSIID implants right?

Oh crap I feel like I should have lol

Hi @NiamhAstra, frustration yesterday cut my words short :sweat_smile:
First off I was trying just to get the t to work with the cable, but it seems like most of the firmware has updated since the guide was written, so I’m having problems on finding out how and where to put things, I’ve stolen my gf’s windows computer and I’ll try with this one today :slightly_smiling_face:

I did also try on my android yesterday, just to see if I could get it to work there :slightly_smiling_face:

Do you happen to know wich firmware is the latest that is proven to work with the Android system? :slightly_smiling_face:

Looking back at my last post I might have said something incorrect, I got mixed up and was reading the firmware version printed in your screenshot as the devices firmware not the firmware the app expects. Looks like NFC tools is using “RRG/Iceman// 2019/08/12” based on that screenshot and there google play store page.

https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3 is the repo to find that firmware. Here is the instructions for a Mac.

If you struggle to follow the instructions I would recommend making a post with a question about the part you get stuck on. Then it’s not lost at the bottom of this thread and will get more exposure.

Using Walrus trying to write to my NExT. Idk if it’s writing, but when I go to try and read it. Its saying like random numbers. Dosent show card code or FC code

I figured it out yesterday, on the Mac at least🙂
Now to figure out the cloning part :sweat_smile:

So here is the new complete kit ! As it’s a bundle, it includes a £100 discount compared to buying all the parts separately.

I would recommend installing the RRG iceman fork that the RDV4 uses. Stup proxspace on windows, compile the firmware using PM3OTHER. Works no issues and let’s you use the RRG android app that the RDV4 uses. Obviously there is no bluetooth on the Easy so you have to connect via OTG cable.
Also you need the newer Proxmark3 Easy, make sure it is 512k, 256k is too small for the iceman fork.

Thats because I wanted to, not because Discourse told me to

Hello geniuses, good afternoon.
My reason for why I write here is because I bought a pm3 RDV4 thinking that its handling was simple, as well as connecting to the phone and starting to work … when I got it I found a wall and I collided with it hahah.
Good! the fact is that since I don’t know how to use it and after having tried to follow all the instructions, I can’t do anything. I need to know if someone from here in this forum can help me install or teach how to use the device with android. Without a doubt I am very open to paying economically for teaching.
I hope some response from any of you, because from what I see some of you are already masters in the use of proxmark3.
greetings to all

are you on windows or mac or do you want to try to use it with your phone? if phone only, iphone or android?

in short, you will probably want to start out using it with a computer or laptop first… get it working there… then try for the phone.

What Amal said above, Plus Linux could be an option.

FYI
Make sure your Easy is running on 2.0, I don’t think android plays nice with Icemans fork

I am using a Proxmark3 Easy and have so far tried it with Linux, Windows, and Android.

As I bought from DT it came labelled as having Iceman RRG firmware v4.9237-1270-g65478867.

I got it working with the latest client on windows using Proxspace and following the instructions at

I then switched it to a Linux box, fetched the github branch (again) and it worked.

Finally I tried it with Android, I tried Walrus first (it didn’t work) but Walrus seems to need a mainline firmware.

I then switched to RFID-Tools from RRG. This asks what device you are using, I selected Proxmark3-RDV4 and it quite happily talked to the Proxmark3 Easy.

As for the android hardware, I am using a moto g7 running Android 10. This has a USB-C port on it, I used a Male USB-C to Female USB-A adapter and the cable that came with the Proxmark Easy.

I hope that this is of some help to others.
