can you actually feel the implant? If so, that makes life a little easier.
I have found the best way to get a read off the LF antenna, is to press the antenna quite firmly perpendicular over the implant, hold still and send your command and move incrementally slowly and sending your next command until it works.
These commands can help with that also
Not really. That has me worried. I had the apex installed at the same time and that was the one I was worried about given needle size. I wasnāt worried re the next because my installer had successfully done a few before with no trouble. Plus I was drinking as a form of pre pain relief so wasnāt really paying attention to the next stabbing. I am worried it went a bit too deep on the LF end.
I have been pushing the PM3 into my hand pretty hard and over where the LF end should be. What worries me is the voltage drop appears to be there but no read??
Anyway, I will give it another week. It may be because it is my dominant hand and does get bumped around a bit.
Apologies on the lateness of the reply. A transformer down the road from me blew and I lost power. So I just went to sleep.
Iām not 100% on what mode. I believe PSK
Correct. I even had the door guy at work scan my hand and everything popped up with my info.
I am. Iām also taking care that my skin is not making contact to the little posts with the chevrons next to them.
Iāll see what I can do, this requires that I have friends.
If your door guy could read / enroll it, there is a good chance it is EM41XX which is what it comes in by default from DT.
Unless the door guy wrote to it, it may have changed, but it doesnāt sound like it was written to.
actually a already asked earlierā¦Indala
Either way, we know it can be read, so thatās good, at least itās working.
Now we just need to refine your ability to read/write with the equipment you have.
Can you read your work card with the Flipper?
When you get a read, it would be a good idea to save it And confirm it is indeed Indala.
Iāve noticed the 
lights flash a different colour when it āseesā a card in range, so if you get that, you are probably close to where you need to be
Blue when reading, green when it gets a sniff and solid green when it gets a read.
Yeah. Iāve also saved and successfully emulated it with the flipper.
Both the FZ and PM3 says its an Indala card.
I noticed that. Figured it was my eyes playing tricks with a rapidly flashing LED so I wasnāt sure.
Well, this thread has been well and truly hijacked, and I never did get an answer about my particular situation.
@amal - any words of wisdom for me? Given the number of issues, is it possible that the folks at DefCon got a bad batch? What recourse options exist?
Sorry.
We are great at hijacking and derailing here, however, the answers given to others are also relevant to you and your situation.
When was the last time you tried to read it?
With the Flipper, I have found I can read my NExT without moving between reads from HF to LF.
So can you scan āNFCā and when you get a succesful read, hold it still and try a ā125kHzā read
Let us know how that goes
Itās OK, st least Iām not the only one with this problem - but if itās truly dead - which it seems to be - I want to rectify that. I presume this means a replacement from DT, but since it was bought at DefCon Iām not sure if they or someone else would need to replace it.
I tried reading it about a week ago with the DT LF āimplant antennaā on the PM3 RDV4. Nothing.
I can read the HF side with the Flipper - easy. Even with my phone. But the Flipper, without being moved, will not read the LF side. Hereās a video.
Stupid questionā¦
But itās about all Iām good forā¦.
You said this was installed at defcon, are you positive or have any verification that it was a NExT and not just a xNT?
(Assuming defcon had those on hand, and you didnāt BYOI)
Crazier things have happened 
, and I can imagine DEFCON being chaotic
Correct me if Iām wrong, but I believe the next and the xNT injector are physically different so maybe if you have a video of the install? edit yep these are the 2 styles
ā¦I think the url link says which is which also, assuming you havenāt reformatted it
You could get an x-ray or try to mesure the length of the implant with a ruler but the skin will probably get in the way of the second method. Maybe if you have another glassie to compare it to?
It was the bottom needle. No video of the insertion. And the LF side was active for a short time and was readable. It stopped being readable shortly afterward.
I had actually wanted a different model, but they specifically said that NeXT was all they had on site.
It appears to be about 18mm long. I guess that squares with the 14mm stated above; I probably measured some skin on either side.
Ok well thatās the nail in the coffin for my spit ball
I guess I didnāt see that 
, I thought it was NEVER reactive and wondered if maybe it wasnāt responding because it the wrong thing
I know quite a few LFs have been resurrected by the prox gurus and even iceman himselfā¦ so I wouldnāt quit until I have toā¦ but itās already over my head
I just have to try to rule out lower hanging fruit
It sounds like you know what you are doing and you have all the tools to do it; I think it may be time to drop an @Amal here.
He may have some other things for you to try.
but
Itās probably also a good idea to get any documentation ready incase Amal asks for it.
What is your plan around replacement install if you get one?
Will you wait until you receive the new one before removing the old one?
The reason I ask is, when you remove the current one, it would be great to see if you can read it once it is removed? Amal may want it sent back for examination/ testing
Is it possible the implant sat in the field of a wireless Qi charger for some period of time? I believe this can damage LF cards and implants.
Itās definitely a next as augmentation limitless only had NExT on hand. If the LF side was working and then stopped, the question I have nagging at me is if you were attempting any kind of write with the flipper or proxmark3 or any other device when it stopped working?
I wondered the same after seeing this
it would explain why the flipper would not see it but the proxmark still should have with the lf t5 detect
While I think about it another question with the DT LF if antenna
generally xSeries are read perpendicular to an antenna, especially on the Proxmark antennas, HOWEVER with the DT LF antenna on the RDV4, is an exception to the rule, this is better read parallel.
Is that what you meant?
No. I cloned a HID Prox card to it, and was successfully able to activate a reader with it once. Next time I tried (days later), nothing. At that point, I couldnāt read it with anything.
