Vivokey spark 2 not scanning

better drop a @Luis9370 (I replied to @yeka rather than you oops)

So far, all we have done is wait for the inflammation to subside.
it would be rare, unusual, unlikely for an implant to fail right out of the box.

Let’s get to work on some fault finding to get this bitch sorted for you.


Who did the install? ( self, helper, professional)

What position is it in?

Did you confirm it is inside you? (can you feel it, or a small neodymium magnet should “stick” to it)

Could it be deeper than it should and possibly in a muscle? (was the pain similar to a bee sting/ giving blood, or was it more painful than that)

What readers have you tried so far?

  • Proxmark
    hf tune (looking for the lowest voltage reading)
    hf search
  • What phone model do you have?

have you identified where the NFC antenna is?
use your xFD to establish the best location, position and the duty cycle

remember to move slowly, you want to catch the duty cycle at its strongest reading pulse.

Are you trying to read the Spark perpendicular to the antenna?
It will likely be somewhere similar to this

Often times a swiping motion on a reader will be more successful than just presenting your implant (cutting perpendicular through the antenna) like this…moving slowly

image

That should give you a good starting point, if you can answer those questions, we should be able to help you find an answer before you need to cut the Spark out

FYI, if it was installed correctly, removing an xSeries implant is a pretty simple thing to do, I’m doing my own shortly just to move its position.
I/we can provide more info if it comes to that
