xEM received, injected and readable just cant write?

Ok guys:

See below (ignore the automatic t5 detect with lf search, you won’t get that without an insanely good antenna):

So what I want you to try is:

  1. Set the LF config as per the above config displayed after the wipe command. Note that the bitrate is 2, not 4 as it would be for EM / HID modulation, it’s now just a blank t5. The config is “lf t5 config b 2 L”

  2. Get your xEM orientated with the antenna as best you possibly can (whatever orientation you had for the wipe seemed to work so try that)

  3. Write a HID ID to your tag with the command “lf hid clone 2004840534” - This will be FC:66 CC: 666.

  4. Issue the “hw reset” command to clear the lf config you set above as it will now need to be RF 4.

  5. Exit and restart the proxmark client just to be sure

  6. Lf search and see if you get an ID.

I’ve just tested this 5-6 times while on the bus to work and can assure you if it does not work, your issue is antenna related and your implant it not broken in any way.

Just to clarify, the process looks like this:
