Hacking Your Smartphone Will Be An Amiibo!

[RebQuaker]

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 ?

The tags I will need to buy millions of that for burn each amiibo when launch, and the Arduíno, I can make a update server to send bins to it, and select one on touch screen to emulate

I personnaly have a Raspberry 2, and I would be happy to follow your work.
Good luck buddy !

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

I got my wii u to recognise my phone, so that might not be an issue for everyone.

Thats not the goal.

Since the Arduinio idea is far more feasible, I will help. I'll chip in my Arduinio uno.

 

[RebQuaker]

Yeah.. Thats sound to be a good idea..

I think instead of a touchscreen we should use a small led screen and 2 or 3 buttons. Of course we will have an nfc reader/writer and finally a MicroSD card slot for storing .bin files and a small battery. (The battery and SD card slot are optional)

I only wish that, he who's name shall not be said, would have posted like the OP in this thread, then I would have known not to believe any of the bullcrap.

 

[RebQuaker]

Yes, it can be a BIN finder folder, and with 2 arrow button you select and a button to choose, and yes, a battery too

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

No, nothing is done because THIS IS NOT A NEW IDEA. Many have already tried and it's currently not possible. You haven't bothered to do any research here, afterdawn forums or anywhere else to learn that this has been tried before and it wasn't possible. You're creating hype for those that don't know better. You should have researched and posted your questions in one of the many threads already open. By creating a new thread you've only reinvented an old argument and got all the NFC smartphone users all excited again

Whatever, i'll still trying

Good on ya. Best of luck

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).

Sorry dude. The dev blog isnt coming. The method I used is way to painful for anyone to ever get any use out of. Its difficult and different for every phone. Im trying to get into contact with @jran_sakarra (He appears to be pretty inactive though) to see what he did and see if we can get a public release, but if his methods are as difficult as mine it will not be worth doing. Im hoping we can work together to get something that will work for most people.

Just worth noting that a quick Google search came up with this StackOverflow answer, which states that along with the whole flash-a-custom-firmware thing you could also rewrite the Android NFC service. I'm no Android developer and rewriting system services is not a pretty thing, but there's a secondary option if needed. I also saw a similar thing on XDA - although that was just adding a new function, not a whole new protocol.
Although the Arduino thing is a much better idea, go with that. Don't have a NFC module so I can't really help but if I ever get one I'll jump in.

 

[sweis12]

Well, I don't think a public release is coming.

With things like Amiiqo already out, if something like this were truly feasible, I think it would have happened long ago. I just wish the Amiiqo had a little screen and a button or two more to select your Amiibo at will so you don't have to cycle through each Amiibo one at a time to get to the one you want to use, it becomes a hassle when you have 70 or so Amiibos on the device.

http://www.acs.com.hk/en/products/3/acr122u-usb-nfc-reader/ this kind of thing has open source code , and the device supports the format of amibos , and supports android.. maybe the code could help....

/thinking out loud

That would be nice, but then they would have to put batteries in it and you'd need to recharge them constantly. I think it's great that the Amiiqo doesn't need batteries, and it's a big pro to me. At least you can use the Android app to switch them more easily.

But if it have a screen (touch or not) and some buttons, a rechargable battery that can take more time of use, and internet connection to my website, to download and update your amiibos when launch a new, it could be a great idea

ive had this idea for the longest, but i have know knowledge on how to do it, i do android development and from what i know we can manipulate the nfc card on our androids to whatever we like but nintendo wii u amiibos are actually encrypted. Lately with the dumping of wii u games we can get a hold of the amiibo key code but without a iosu hack we still cant use it.
inside wii u games that support amiibos usually have a folder called content/amiibo with a file called enable_id.narc
inside that file is a enable_id.inf in there is a enable code for that game, now in theory imputing that code to android and making your NFC chip broadcast that code will get the wiiu to react. BUT the iosu wont allow any NFC chip through.
now along with what THIS guy is "attempting" to do while risky in nature yes it holds a bit of hope, if you can reprogram your phones NFC chip (because the NFC chip has a firmware in it) to act as nintendos amiibo it may work. (warning reprogramming a nfc card will result in it not functioning for anything else other the the wii u )
now with that Amiiqo thing out theirs a good aid for doing it without the risk of you phone.
