[SOLVED] Device / fw mismatch ON Win10

Support
1

Hello everyone, first of all, I want to make it clear that I’m new to the Proxmark3, and I’m using artificial intelligence for translation, so I apologize for any mistakes.

I followed the (Getting started with the proxmark3 easy) tutorial meticulously, and it seems that the firmware being downloaded is for the RDV4, which is not compatible with my EZ.

I’ve tried all the available solutions here in the forum, but without success.

I can use the Proxmark3, but I know I’ll encounter some issues in the future.

As I’m new, I’m considering switching the OS to Linux since I have a dedicated PC for that, but I’d like to understand what the problem might be.

Here’s the hf version:

I’ve gone through the entire installation process more than once, executed the cp Makefile.platform.sample, changed the position of the #, and I’ve also done The Button Trick. Analyzing everything, I believe that forcing the download of the generic firmware could solve the issue, but I have no idea how to do that.

Cheers!

mv Makefile.platform.sample Makefile.platform

edit so RDV4 is commented out and PM3GENERIC is uncommented, save exit

make clean && make all
./pm3-flash-bootrom
./pm3-flash-fullimage

I made a small spelling mistake.

The word “platform” in my native language is spelled “P.L.A.T.A.F.O.R.M.A,” and I accidentally added that extra “A” in the title of the makefile.platform.

Just to clarify, even after going through the steps again, I kept making the mistake because I thought that extra letter was the correct way to spell it. XD
