Ubuntu Proxmark3 Easy startup

Support
1

Hello I am new.
I am working on Ubuntu and I use proxmark3 easy (512).
I follow Proxmark3_Wiki and whase okay for Flash the BOOTROM, FULLIMAGE.

But when I try to start the client I have this issue.

🍎:~/Downloads/proxmark/proxmark3/client (master)
 ./proxmark3 /dev/ttyACM0
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
proxmark3> hw status
Status command failed. USB Speed Test timed out          
proxmark3>

The green led turn on when i send the command

$👉  ./proxmark3 /dev/ttyACM0

And i check the usb:

/Downloads/proxmark/proxmark3 (master)
$👉 [ -r /dev/ttyACM0 ] && [ -w /dev/ttyACM0 ] && echo ok
ok

What i can do ? :smiling_face_with_tear:

Can you try running the ./pm3 script in the main PM3 folder instead of running the client directly?

I don’t have a pm3 in the main folder :frowning:

🍎:~/Downloads/proxmark/proxmark3 (master)
$👉 ./pm3
bash: ./pm3: No such file or directory
🍎:~/Downloads/proxmark/proxmark3 (master)
$👉 ls

Did you clone it from the github as part of the starting steps?

If not, I’d personally recommend starting over, go to the directory you want to put your PM3 folder in and run git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3.git

Oh yes I clone from github like this

git clone https://github.com/proxmark/proxmark3.git
cd proxmark3
git pull

Is there a big difference betwen

and
git clone GitHub - Proxmark/proxmark3: Proxmark 3
??

The second one is the official firmware from the people who make the PM3, that’s almost certainly not the one you want

The unofficial “Iceman” firmware is what people usually use, that’s what I linked to

I believe the Iceman firmware has more features and is more regularly developed

Here’s an install guide for it too, if it helps:

cd proxmark3
git pull

Change the makefile for my device

cat Makefile.platform.sample 
# If you want to use it, copy this file as Makefile.platform and adjust it to your needs
# Run 'make PLATFORM=' to get an exhaustive list of possible parameters for this file.

#PLATFORM=PM3RDV4
#PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
# If you want more than one PLATFORM_EXTRAS option, separate them by spaces:
#PLATFORM_EXTRAS=BTADDON
#PLATFORM_EXTRAS=FLASH
#PLATFORM_EXTRAS=SMARTCARD
#PLATFORM_EXTRAS=BTADDON FLASH
#STANDALONE=LF_SAMYRUN

# Uncomment the line below to set the correct LED order on board Proxmark3 Easy
# Only available with PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
#LED_ORDER=PM3EASY

# Uncomment the lines below in order to make a 256KB image
# and comment out the lines above

PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
PLATFORM_SIZE=512
#STANDALONE=
#SKIP_HITAG=1
#SKIP_FELICA=1
#SKIP_HFPLOT=1`Preformatted text`
#SKIP_NFCBARCODE=1
#SKIP_ZX8211=1
#SKIP_LF=1

# To accelerate repetitive compilations:
# Install package "ccache" -> Debian/Ubuntu: /usr/lib/ccache, Fedora/CentOS/RHEL: /usr/lib64/ccache
# And uncomment the following line
#export PATH := /usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/lib/ccache:${PATH}

# To install with sudo:
INSTALLSUDO=sudo

Then the make okay no probleme

make clean && make -j

Try ./pm3-flash-all

And if that doesn’t work try:

./pm3-flash-bootrom
And then
./pm3-flash-fullimage
