I have a NeXT (installed Oct 27 2019) that is WAY too deep in my hand and I cannot get any reads on the LF side, much less reliable ones. Writing to it would be a fever dream.
I may have set it to Indala26 a while ago, which makes it harder to find a good reader “in the wild”, but am not sure. Very rarely, I get some garbled up data when trying a read.
I tried with my Proxmark RDV2, nothing. Bought an RDV4, nothing. Tried the Harkness antenna, still nothing…
It’s funny that the HF (NTAG216) works well. Maybe the t5577 is broken? If the t5577 is really “borked”, is it covered by the lifetime warranty if only the LF is not working?
Anyway, should I try to remove it (with medical help, of course) and reinstall? Or should I just pretend it’s a xNT?
Unlikely… the proxmark3 will happily read noise as an indala tag… presumably because indala has no real crc or parity checking in its data schema.
Sounds like the t5577 is either borked or non-functional. If you can, reply to your original order confirmation email and confirm your current shipping information and we’ll send you an xEM to make up for it. @tac0s keep an eye out for this one.
I forgot that don’t have an order directly with DT for the NExT because I bought and installed it during a hacker conference here in Brazil (H2HC).
However, I have a direct order from 2021 for a xLED, a xG3, a Vivokey Spark 2 and a flexM1. Can I reply to that one? Or, since the purchase was not directly with you, the warranty doesn’t apply?
The warranty applies whoever you bought it from. My only question is who was installing DT stuff in Brazil. It’s been so hard to get product into Brazil and I don’t have any idea who could have had enough inventory to pull off a whole conference. In short, I want to make sure somebody isn’t selling something else while claiming it’s DT product. @tac0s any ideas who that might be in 2019?
Regardless, reply to one of your other order confirmations and we will send you an xEM… even if it wasn’t actually a DT product, the goal here is Happy Cyborgs
That I can guarantee, it was an original! Although it was only the plastic pouch and didn’t have an official box, everything else was exactly as it was supposed to, packaging, applicator, clean field/sterile mat, gloves, etc.
I recently (exactly 2 weeks and a few hours ago, haha) did an xNT implant with Leonard Akira. Great work, the implant is perfectly centered with my NFC tattoo!
A friend of mine installed it for me at the conference. Years (and a few reading errors) later, I reckon he didn’t do the greatest of jobs, but I can still use it with the access controller at work without much hassle since I nailed down the right position.
