I thought it might be Handy Dandy to have a place for those little tips and tricks with the Proxmark 3 in all of its iterations that may not be common knowledge to everybody.
Things that make our implanted life just a little easier
Just read or post your Tips and Tricks and move on, knowing you have the community’s thanks…
And here it is
I don’t know if it’s just me that experiences this, but it seems like every time I get a text or see a post on here about the PM3 that I could answer if I could just look at the commands in the client to jog my memory, every single time one of those pops up I seem to be on some deserted island and the nearest PM3 is on the opposite side of the planet or something, and I just can’t easily look for the right commands.
Well no longer! Now you can browse the commands all you want with nothing but a web browser.

The mobile experience is… rough…
And there are typos and probably bad links and whatnot, but hopefully all of that will get solved soon-ish 
Mostly it seems to work for me though, so I hope you find it as useful as I think I will
Amal has done a bang-up and thorough job of a walk-through for setting up a Proxmark from scratch.
His thread explains ALL the what where and whys, and is worth a read if you want to understand what you are doing, If that sounds like what you want, read the following guide
HOWEVER…If you just want to get up and running, this might be the guide for you
I thought I would throw together a “quick guide” using his steps.
If you have any issues, go back through his guide ( Sometimes short cuts lead to long cuts )
I wrote this as I did a clean build and it worked, so if you do the same, you SHOULD get the same results
Get the latest environment from here (download the ProxSpace.7z file.)
Getting started with the proxmark3 easy
Must use 7zip to extract ( Extract to root level folder C:\ProxSpace for example )
Download
Open and run runme64.bat
Wait a while
If you get a green
pm3 ~$
You are good to go for the next step
copy this
git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3.git
right-click - it should automatically paste for you Hit Enter
Wait a while
If you get a green
pm3 ~$
You are good to go for the next step
We now change directory with the command
cd proxmark3
You should now have this new line
pm3 ~/proxmark3$
Blah blah blah omission blah reasons blah don’t worry why blah next step…
If you are using Proxmark3 RDV4 you can skip this step
If you are using Proxmark3 Easy…Copy this
notepad Makefile.platform
You will see something like this ( Thanks Amal )
Change this ( just move the # )
PLATFORM=PM3RDV4
#PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
to this
#PLATFORM=PM3RDV4
PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
File - Save - Close
make clean && make all

We are almost there…./pm3-flash-bootrom

plugged in on the short side of the device orange and green lights stay lit until after the error message comes up
Orange and green… might be something with the bootloader. Unplug… hold button in and plug in… keep holding the button… after com port shows up, fun pm3-flash-all and let it update again. After it’s finished updating it will reboot… keep holding the button until you get the rainbow flashy LEDs that indicate headless operation, then unplug… wait… plug back in and use normally

PROXMARK Remove Blue Cloner Password
There are a couple of approaches to this, but for simplicity sake, I will post the one I THINK is the easiest
Wipe the implant / fob / card back to T5577 using the password, something like this:-
lf t5 wipe --p 51243648
Then write the new mode to it as per Proxmark instructions ( Found elsewhere )
Thanks @TomHarkness for the Blue Cloner Password
Newer version of Proxmark3 EASY: Standalone mode and what the lights indicate!
Hold button 2 seconds – blue/amber/red/green indicator lights flash in sequence and it puts the PM3 EASY into standalone mode; all colored indicator lights go back off. (If you have it connected to the computer, you will be able to follow along on screen.)
#1. Short press – green light stays on, red light blinks. It is looking for an LF HID tag to read into “green” memory slot. When exposed to readable tag, red light goes out and green light flashes, indicating successful read, then both lights go off. If you press the button before a successful read, green light blinks 5 times and PM3 goes into standby mode. Single press here while in standby mode will put it back into #1.
#2. Short press – orange light stays on, indicating simulating previously read HID
#3. Short press – orange and green lights flash one time, then go out, indicating simulating done
#4. Short press – red and green lights blink while cloning previously read HID, then lights go out when done.
#5. Short press – blue light comes on, red light blinks. It is looking for another LF HID tag to put into “blue” memory slot. When exposed to readable tag, red light goes out and blue light flashes, indicating successful read, then all lights go off. If you press the button before a successful read, blue light blinks 5 times and PM3 goes into standby mode. Single press here while in standby mode will put it back into #5.
#6. Short press – orange light stays on, indicating simulating most recently read HID
#7. Short press – orange and blue lights flash one time, then go out, indicating simulating done
#8. Short press – red/green/blue blink while cloning most recently read HID, then lights go out when done.
CYCLE COMPLETE… next short press goes back to #1.
RECOVERY FROM A “BRICKED” HF MAGIC MIFARE GEN-2
If you can’t use or modify your hf magic mifare Gen 2 chip or card (or in my case Magic Ring that I thought I’d killed) because you’ve written bad data to block zero (such as mis-typing data that doesn’t match the checksum) and you get a “BCC0 incorrect” error with “No known/supported 13.56 MHz tags found”, there’s hope! Using your Proxmark3, try this for a 4-byte UID:
hf 14a config --atqa force --bcc ignore --cl2 skip --rats skip
or this for a 7 byte UID:
hf 14a config --atqa force --bcc ignore --cl2 force --cl3 skip --rats skip
From there you should be able to do a hf search and see the device again without serious error.
I suggest that you then write a known good sequence to Block 0. If yours is a 1K chip with a 4-byte UID, an example would be::
hf mf wrbl --blk 0 -k FFFFFFFFFFFF -d 11223344440804006263646566676869 – force
From there you should have a readable 1K Gen2 ring, card, or chip and be able to write to it again.
There’s a good reference at THIS PAGE and it includes alternatives if you have a 4K chip and/or a 7-byte UID.
