I was trying to write the magic ring using Hf MF restore —1k -f file1 -k file2 and I’m not exactly sure what I’ve done I’m new to this but can someone tell me if I bricked it?
(Forgive the poor quality I had to take photos on my phone.)
(Forgive the poor quality I had to take photos on my phone.)
I just don’t think succeeded. I’m pretty sure the restore command works with Gen 1A magic mifare chips and the ring is a gen2.
Basically this means that sector 0 probably was not written to, but the rest of the sector is very well may have.
The difference is that a Gen 1A chip uses a magic backdoor command to open all sectors for writing regardless of access bit settings. A Gen 2 chip does not have a back door command but simply lets you write to all sectors using normal wire commands, including sector 0.
I haven’t checked the restore command in a while… there might be an option for supporting Gen 2 chip types
cload is for gen1, restore is for gen2 chief
So do you think it’s something I can fix or should I get a new one?
sorry there wasn’t enough info in the screenshots to show what’s happening after you attempted to clone to the ring. are all the sectors locked or something?
can you try to scan it with
and share the full scan data?
Yeah… hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there’s a lot of errors in there. I’ll try to break it down.
Going of the dump from your screenshot:
Sector 0 seems okay.
Sectors 1-15 (everything else) are toast.
Your access bits for these sectors got all kinds of messed up, probably from a failed write. Unfortunately, they seem set in a state where you likely won’t be able to fix it. The gen2 chip in the Magic Ring can’t be reset with backdoor commands, so you gotta be careful what you write to it.
Basically, you should still be able to change the UID as it’s in sector 0 and that sector should still be writable with keys 314146464341 for A and 303030300D0A for B. Everything else may be hit or miss, since the access bits and their inverse don’t match, which I’m not entirely sure can be fixed. I’ll do some looking later when I’m home.

Thank you for the information, I figured as much I’ll buy another one and hopefully get it to work the second time around.
