Yep
There are a few versions of this reader and I’ve never had an easy time with them. You have to run your implant along the very side edges of the reader, and sometimes I had to take the blue cover off to get reads. It’s just not a good reader for implants.
Sorry I was misunderstanding… I thought this was an HID Prox system which is 125kHz low frequency… you can ignore the EM mode issue, that is the T5577 chip in the xMagic (125kHz) but you’re dealing with the mifare 1k side of things.
Hello @amal, I have my implant for two weeks now. The enrollment reader omnikey can read it perfectly, like it’s my official badge, but the R10 hid reader still doesn’t react at all. I have the vauban system with the visor software. Do you think you can help me make it work ? I’m happy to have it but sad that it doesn’t work.

If one HID reader can see it, but the other doesn’t, it’s down to reader config. You’ll need to use readerman or a config card to change it.

2 weeks is our arbritatry period of time we suggest, some people heal faster than others, some slower…
2 weeks IS a good and realistic time frame, but performance will still continue to get better for a period after
You may be having a physics problem
A quick “google” tells me this is what the internals of an R10 reader looks like
Can you try your xFD in the area of the antenna and see if it will light up, and if it does take note of the orientation and the duty cycle.
Then try your implant in the same orientation, and make sure when you when you move, do so very slowly.
Try perpendicular to the antenna, like any of these
A slow swipe across the face may also yeild results ( I have successfully used this techniquie myself on stubborn readers )
Can you get a spare reader, or are you able to remove the cover and get direct access to the antenna rather than trying to read through the plastic cover? ( at least for your testing)
No reader works. Just the enrolement reader work, but it’s not the same that all the installation.
Thanks for this information.

I tried to position my hand in all directions but there is no detection… And I can’t access the reader’s antenna. It’s full of resin or something like that.
For information, the DT card tell me the reader is a HF. And it works even 6 or 7 cm from the reader.
I also have my official badge and implant information.

You should’ve received an xFD with your chip purchase. It can be incredibly useful for finding the sweet spot on the reader, if there is one. Try holding it at varying distances, angles, and positions on a reader until you see it flash brightest. Then try to mimic the best position with your chip.
It could also be possible that the reader will not read the chip until it sees significant enough attenuation and the small chip simply isn’t enough to set it off.
I think with enough persistence though, you’ll be able to get it to work. Not with the same reader, but it took me at least a few weeks to get a good read with my xM1. Don’t give up, just keep trying!

Another thought on this, if it is indeed the issue. You can try to trick the reader into reading your chip by first presenting a Diagnostic Card and then your xMagic at the same time. This may make it think that it is reading a full-size card as it sees the attenuation it needs front the Diagnostic Card and the data from the xMagic.

Hello, the implant still does not work but I found a difference between official badge and implant.
The flipper zero says :
Official badge :
Mifare classic 1K
UID : 13:d9:a8:b0
ATQA : 00 04 SAK : 08
Implant :
Mifare classic 1K
iso14443-3 (NFC-A)
UID : 13:d9:a8:b0
ATQA : 00 04 SAK : 88
Has you can see, SAK is different. Maybe you could help me with this ?
Thanks
oh cool! that’s this:
(be warned i am re-writing it so it’s less terrible)
you can change it by changing your block0 if you do “hf mf cgetblk —blk 0” on ur implant, copy and paste it into hf mf csetblk —blk 0 -d and change 88 to 08

Hello, thanks for your reply. So, I can fix my problem ?! 
It’s because of the different sak that the reader doesn’t react ?
I’m a noob… Where do i need to do what you say ? I need a proxmark3 ?
what did you use to put the file onto your chip?
Actually I just have flipper zero or samsung phone.
ok edit the .nfc file on your flipper and change the 88 in your block 0 to 08 and use the magic writer app to write the file onto your implant
(e2a you may also need to change where it says SAK: to 08 if its 88 too, depends how the file formatted itself)
Hello @Equipter .
Here is a little more information.
My official badge :
SAK : 08
Block 0 : 13 D9 A8 B0 D2 88 04 00 C8 06 00 20 00 00 00 16
My implant :
SAK : 88
Block 0 : 13 D9 A8 B0 D2 88 04 00 C8 06 00 20 00 00 00 16
I modified the .NFC file (with native txt editor from Windows) of my implant by changing the SAK to 08 instead of 88. When I do that and I write on my implant, the SAK remains in 88 when I read it…
So, I tried again by changing the line of the SAK 88 to 08 and in block 0, I changed the number 88 to 08.
When I write my implant and read it, the SAK is now changed. But the problem is that block 0 too, while I should have 88 for the badge and the implant to be perfectly identical…
I could try its operation on Monday when I am at work. Do you think I would have a chance of this working?
Thanks

having it at 08 is your best bet
Hi, any solution? I have the same issue
No. I have implant in my hand but never works… if you found a solution, let me know
