Android Question Read \ Write NCF Midfare Clasic

Situ LLC · Nov 23, 2023

Greetings clever friends
My question is this
From the examples of writing and reading with the NFC library that are in the forum, I have seen many questions and problems with use.
I have an example that is partly functional. You can read sector 0 and block 0,1,2,3, until then perfect.
But if I try to read Sector 1 blocks 4,5,6,7 it is not successful, even though the key authentication is correct in both transactions.

Look . Try to read Sector =0 Block = 0

Techs: [android.nfc.tech.MifareClassic, android.nfc.tech.NfcA, android.nfc.tech.Ndef]
c7 63 d8 33
UUID ok
ID c7 63 d8 33
Connect: true

Block Read 0 success true Flag 0
Sector 0 Block 0 Result= c763d8334f0804006263646566676869
Success, even on block 01,2,3

\----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Now i will try to read Sector 1, blocks 4

Techs: [android.nfc.tech.MifareClassic, android.nfc.tech.NfcA, android.nfc.tech.Ndef]
c7 63 d8 33
UUID ok
ID c7 63 d8 33
Connected: true
authentication del sector. Success=true, Flag=0

Sector =1 Block = 4 MSG

Block Read 4 Estado false Flag 0

cannot read

\------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

As you can see, the authentication is fine according to what can be seen, because it leaves only sector 0, the others
are not, the authentication is fine, I use a new 1K Midface card

In writing despite having successful sector authentication and the correct block number
Sector 0, block 1

The result

Techs: [android.nfc.tech.MifareClassic, android.nfc.tech.NfcA, android.nfc.tech.Ndef]
c7 63 d8 33
UUID ok
ID c7 63 d8 33
Connected: true
authentication del sector. Success=true, Flag=0
Sector =0 Block = 1
writing was = false, Flag=0
Write Error: null

I would like to know if anyone has already managed to overcome these problems and share the solution.
I am fully available to pay for help. Thank you

i had a little difficulty followng your description, but it looks like you're trying to write to sector 0. if that's what you're doing, you can't. it's protected.

Situ LLC · Nov 23, 2023

Thanks for responding.

I am really clear about the restrictions of each of the blocks.
What I want to explain is that sector 0 is possible to read blocks 0,1,2,3

The problem is when changing Sector 1 and reading blocks 4,5,6,7 already gives an error.

Validation and authentication are correct in any sector,
I know the restrictions on Midfare cards, it's just that these examples don't work correctly.

The Midfare card es new.
Thanks

drgottjr · Nov 23, 2023

at no point in the code that you posted do you refer to sector as anything but 0. hence my inference that you were trying to write to sector 0. but it sounds like you know all there is to know, so i'm sure you'll resolve things.

Situ LLC · Nov 23, 2023

I think you misunderstand.

I said I know the restrictions on midfare cards
and if you see I said I can read sector 0 block 0,1,2,3, but if I change sectors and appears that it is authorized and authenticated .
it does not read the content of sector 1 in terms of showing the content of blocks 4, 5,6,7

About r writing, I try to write sector 0, block 1, which has no restriction.

FOR REASON, I ASK, could it be a problem with the library, or with the way they are using the method calls?

Thanks for your appreciation
