C:/ProxSpace as recommended
My unit is recognized by Windows as COM11
I also disabled my AV, just in case
In fact if the PM3 is disconnected I get something
That is so strange… so it says waiting for proxmark to appear and how long does it wait? Or does it just move on immediately?
I believe it just waits till I hot plug it, then the command is executed, but nothing happens.
Confirmed, looks like it can wait forever
hmm interesting… is this proxmark purchased from DT?
oh also confirm your device manager screen that shows the ports in your system… post a screenshot of that?
ok i think we can forgo the screens… basically at this point let’s try this;
- hold the button down on your proxmark3 and keep it held down
- plug it in to USB port
- while still holding the button, confirm the PM3 is visible in device manager. it may have a different com port but that’s ok… take note of the COM port number.
- in proxspace env, at
~/proxmark3prompt, runpm3-flash-all - wait until it’s finished updating
- release button, wait 5 seconds
- unplug from USB, wait 5 seconds
- plug in to USB (no button)
- run
pm3to start client

Weird, pm3 appears in panel (com11)
But when I run pm3-flash-all while holding button I get the same message (Waiting PM3 to appear)
When I release the button the button I get the prompt but nothing happened
And yes, it is a genuine Iceman Proxmark3 Easy
ok … do you want to do a google meet call? i can DM you a link… or actually anyone who wants to join ahah

I’m there now … at least while i can be… today is kind of random and crazy. my goal is to see the LEDs on the camera and try to determine what’s going on here
ok… let’s just confirm we can get a COM port to show up when holding the button… that’s the first hurdle. You have to hold the button down and then plug in the USB cable and keep holding the button… does a COM port show in device manager while plugged in and holding the button? If yes, what COM port number? Still 11?
Sorry I was out, walking the dog.
I’m french and while I can manage write/read in english, talking might be more complicated for me.
Anyway thank you for the offer.
For now I will retry the process you described, and I will leave it for today.
Yes, always com11
Ok… so when you are holding the button and COM 11 is on device manager, what do the LEDs on the proxmark3 look like?
red and green on blinking, then off
After deplug/replug, red and green are on again then off
hmm… that’s not good. Ok… let’s try something else…
Hold the button, plug the USB cable in, but then after only 1 second, let go of the button. What do the LEDs do? Do you still see COM 11 show up?
hmm ok in this state, try running pm3-flash-bootrom

Sorry I cannot reply anymore because it’s my first day on the forum.
I have to wait 19 hours, but apparently I can edit my old posts
Ok I leave that for tomorrow.
Hope I’ll get back with good news
Have a nice evening
sooo odd.
ok last option would be to destroy proxmark folder and redeploy everything
if you get a chance can you send a picture of the red and green LEDs when on after holding the button and plugging in the USB cable?
ahha no prob about the replying… this is how things are supposed to look, so try the total re-deploy of proxspace and all that… hopefully it will magically work a second time.
the other things we could try are 1) move the com port to like 4 or something lower down, 2) try on an english regional PC… I don’t know if this is the issue or not but could try.
