restoring to card fails

hheile · 2014-05-20 14:15:18

hello,

just for my understanding:
i did
hf mf mifare
hf mf nested 1 0 a FFFFFFFFFFFF
hf mf dump

so i have a dumpkey.bin and a dumpdata.bin file.

nothing special until now.
now, i want to restore this dump to an chinese card with
hf mf restore

but it fails:
Writing to block 50: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff
#db# Cmd Error: 04
#db# Write block error
#db# WRITE BLOCK FINISHED
isOk:00

BUT when i use
hf mf csetblk 1 0102030405000000090a0b0c0d0e8079
--block number:01 data:01 02 03 04 05 00 00 00 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 80 79

it works like a charm, means row per row manually works.

it there any way to write the datadump completly to the chinese without manual intervention?

thanks for reading and answering

I though 'hf mf restore' was for genuine/original mifare cards e.g restoring a previous sector/balance.

For Chinese magic cards i thought the best way was to first store the original card in an emulated format *.eml file, then use:
hf mf cload 12345.eml
where 12345.eml is the emulated file with all your card data.

midnitesnake, awesome.
here is a script to convert from bin to eml:

thanks in advance

by the way, there seems to be a problem using the dumptoemul script in proxmark

proxmark3> script run dumptoemul -i dumpdata.bin -o mensacard2.eml
--- Executing: ./scripts/dumptoemul.lua, args'-i dumpdata.bin -o test.eml'
./scripts/dumptoemul.lua:99: bad argument #1 to 'sub' (string expected, got nil)

handy to know that they are already in the repo, but slightly renamed:
./client/pm3_mfd2eml.py
./client/pm3_eml2mfd.py

"ht mf restore" uses the dumpdata.bin file to restore the card with (and the keyfile for keys), the command can be used to restore a normal card but not a magic card gen1..

and in your error messages, it say block 50, but your "csetblk" uses block 1...

That's a bad error message. Code:

	local dumpdata = readdump(infile)
	-- The hex-data is now in ascii-format,

	-- But first, check the uid
	local uid = string.sub(dumpdata,1,8) -- <<-- Here's the exception

You data wasn't read. strange.
