Okay, so I bought a Wolf Link Amiibo, with what I thought was a very simple goal, rewrite it to have 20 hearts. I do not have TPHD, and I do not know anyone that does. So, this is my only option. I have an LG G5, and I am running Android 7.0. I can load both keys for Wolf Link, as well as the 20 heart save file. On both TagMo 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, my phone crashes when writing the tag. I then tried 2.3.1 and 2.3.2, both of which CAN write the tag, but the Amiibo scans as corrupted and has to be restored. I do not know how to compile an app, and do not think I am adept enough to work through it, so I can't tey the solution suggested a page or two back. Can anyone offer any advice that might help me?

i think recompile the app does not help very much

the problem is that the bin file with max wolf link has a different unique ID than your amiibo has and the amibo data is secured with many checksums
some can be calculated but some i think are not good known
the problem would be to decrypt the file and change it to the unique ID yours has and correct the checksums and the encrypt, i dont know if its even possible

but its easier to buy some cheap nfc tags and write the file without any changes ;-)

Update guys, some users told me that my version was working properly. I've contacted the author to ask him the permission to publish an APK, he hasn't answered yet.

Get "error while writing main data (stage 1)" every time (on multiple tagmo version, multiple positions of tag, etc...). Tag is empty (at least Tag-info says that) and the key files are correct.
OnePlus One, CM/Lineage Nougat

Hey guys. I have the same problem with different devices (Nexus 4, Sony z1 compact, pixel)
"Error while writing main data"
Has anyone with this problem got it to work?
I'm desperate...

EDIT: After this post, I took a look at my ordered 215 tags and used a check tag app. It seems they sold me the wrong tags.
So, hopefully, never mind my post and check the tags you get!

If you have Wolf Link why dont you just play Zelda Twilight Princess on loadiine with a 100% savegame you can get from anywhere? its basically 5 minutes work (if you have a zelda twp backup on SD-card) to go into the cave and use your amiibo there. and if you dont have zelda twp backup im sure you know "how to make one"

Setting aside that I don't understand most of this, or perhaps considering that I don't understand most of this, I own a Wii U, it is not hacked (if that has anything to do with anything), and I do not have nor have I ever played Twilight Princess. I have no idea what loadline is, and this Amiibo is my first attempt at altering anything NfC related. I was told by someone on reddit that with the correct files, I could simply rewrite the tag on the actual Amiibo, something he has done himself, and that others he has been in touch with have done. I doubt my phone crashing when trying to write the tag was ever considered.

Do the Power Tags from the Amiibo Power Saves work? The tag works with Windows PowerSaves program. Every time I try to write an Amiibo bin from my Android phone to the power tag, it doesn't work on a Nintendo system. Says it's an invalid Amiibo (on both 3DS and Switch). 037-0524 error message on 3DS.

The PC app recognizes it as the correct Amiibo that I tried to write from my Android phone. Tried a few different devices (Nexus 5X, LG G2). If I write another Amiibo from my Windows computer's PowerSaves app/writer, everything is alright again. Something I'm doing wrong on Android?

Hi!

I grabed your version from Github and compiled it with Android-Studio. It's the first version, that works for me. I did write many nfc tags on my phone and all of
them worked on 3DS and Nintendo Switch. Thank you very much.

Used Version: Latest source from azsde's github
Userd Phone: Honor-8 with Android 7

He made it open source so I can't imagine he has a problem with you publishing an apk.

Does your version include wolf link editing?

Here's a compiled APK of TagMo that integrates :

1- Original TagMo ver 2.3.4 by @HiddenRambler.
2- Crash fixes by @azsde (should work on most devices)
3- Titles updates by @azsde (recognises BotW titles correctly)
4- Wolf Link hearts editor by @possi.
5- SSB data editor is disabled (causes TagMo to crash).

Download the APK from this link

Note: All credits to the original authors, and the compiled file will be deleted if any of them requests so.
Still don't works... (OnePlus One, Lineage 7.1) But also don't habe any other phone to try or maybe the tag is just not the right (but it's the same as the other 5 that worked...)

No it doesn't include the wolf link editing since I didn't have the time to review it.

Well, tried to download the version of Tagmo that MasterChan uploaded, and it had been deleted. So much for maybe getting a working version, and thanks to whomever asked him to take it down.

We don't have the authorization from the original author to distribute a compiled APK file. By respect for him and his work we won't release one until we get his approval.

Feel free to get it and compile it yourself, it's pretty straight forward, just get Android Studio, install SDK and NDK and you're ready for compiling it.

Anyway, I've updated my fork and added Mario Sport Superstars amiibos to the database. :)

But where I can find masterchan777 repo? I just want to edit my Wolf Link and your version doesn't have that option (am I wrong?)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
