Hacking Your Smartphone Will Be An Amiibo!

[Deleted member 356526]

HCE is also lacking what I described. I even used a phone with the HCE libraries.

Cyanogen 11 for the Galaxy S3 has the NTaG215 Libs with header support.

I think the forum idea is not allowed here, besides just report the thread to have the name changed to something more appropriate and do your collective research here. But it's still pointless, it won't happen unless your plan is a custom rom. I'm sorry. However if you can prove to me with research I'm wrong I'll apologize, since maybe it changed.

And I think the wii u uses the NTAG216

It uses ntag215.

There are entire threads here where this has been discussed at length. OP, if you want help in your efforts you should have read through all the amiibo threads before creating a new one.

Your thread title suggests a release or something in the works. Right now it's just an idea thread and not even a very original one.

It's a very good idea, if you need I can test it with my htc one : )

 

[ac3ds]

I can test on my galaxy S3!

I found nothing in the Android 5 and 6 libraries. Sorry, but there's nothing. Custom mod is absolutely the only way. I can't help you with that.

Lol all these people be like "ready to test!" Drooling for their warez amiibos

And they even say it after I proved it wouldn't work. I'm sure all of them would change their mind when they heard they would need to wipe their phone and install a new or completely to 'test' this wip app.

We had many threads about this already, but I'm ok with anything that makes investigate about this again.

I don't really know if it is possible, but some people says that is. This is what I know:

• Some guy on Reddit say he did it, on Dec 2014. He never released it. Check the comments. [link]
• @sweis12 said on the 3DS's Homebrew subforum that he did, on January of this year. After lots of PMs asking about info or hints, and people asking in his thread, he didn't released anything. Not even the dev blog he promised (he told on February he would start working on it in March, because he was busy, but still nothing has been published). Check the thread and the replies, it even has a video proof. [link]
• @Jran Sakarra made recently a thread on the Wii U's Console, Accessories and Hardware subforum bragging about this. He only posted a tweet with a video proof. I sent him a mention on Twitter to ask him to follow me and talk about this, but he never replied. And, of course, he has not released anything. [forum link] [link to the tweet]

I asked for help on the XDAdevelopers forum, but that was no use. Later, I teamed with @Ivan Garcia to investigate this (check this thread on a spanish forum where he posted something about this). We read a lot of Android and CM's source code, but we didn't get anywhere.

So basically, what I can say is that if this is possible, right now is only feasable with an Android phone running CyanogenMod 10.2, because their NFC HCE implementation is less restrictive than the official one (to which they switched since version 11).

Honestly I think it would be easier to do it with an Arduino.

Thanks for all the smartphones ready for test guys! I'll not reply all to don't make spam.

Thanks CIAwesome!!!

Sorry again for the name of topiiic e.e is my first time i'll not do it agaain

About the amiibo files, a brazilian guy contact me from PM passing a website with more and evenmore amiibo files, so.. We have the biins, thats cool, pretty nice! Now the only thing to do is cast it, ill try probable monday.. And about Arduíno... I'm thinking it too but is a big different idea, i'll make another thread for that.. It will be a touchscreen device with lots of amiibos to cast directly from it, without smartphone

I hope i can help you i have a rooted note3 here ready for wipe or something else. I will read something About ntag215 and how to use on android

Ok zeroy! You can help too

Haven't read everything but might as well post it here as it may help.

Heard of NFC chips that you can buy and program to do a certain function? I'm sure there are at least a few out there that support the binaries needed.

Xperia T3 with NFC, can test on WiiU and N3DS if needed, so count me in.

The tags? They have versions too

So far lots of people volunteering to test and no real progress lol.

Relax man, I am not a God to make it from night to day

emulating an amiibo with "Host card emulation" is NOT possible. (amiibos are ISO 14443-2 A NFC tags ... HCE only works for ISO 14443-4 A/B tags with a ISO 7816-4 (APDU) Data Structure) The only case, where emulating an amiibo MIGHT work(I do not know for sure if it would even work), is on an android device with a specific broadcom nfc chip (like the LG Nexus 5, as this chip could possibly emulate ISO 14443-2 A/B NFC tags as well) on Cyanogenmod 9.1+ (as the APDU structure is not required for HCE). But for this to work, the underlying nfc c-library must be patched as well. On the other hand reading data from an amiibo is no problem at all. Writing data back to the amiibo is another issue. The amiibo's NTAG215 nfc tag has a password counter.

Ok... In that case I have an Idea.. An old Idea here in this thread, make An Arduíno...

Yeah it could be possible but why buy a Raspberry or an Arduino when you can buy clean NFC tags for 0.50€/u and burn Amiibo on them using NFC Smartphone ?
