r/flipperzero

So just bought this, tried to update it and no longer detects battery life and micro SD card, I updated it to V6 (as far as I checked it is the correct one, and everytime I try to re flash it (the web flasher actually shows successful flash) it doesn't work, I tried V6 and V6_1 still no luck, other versions say esp not compatible (ik they are not compatible but worth the try)

Hi everyone! I'm the one behind MTools Tec AKA MTCK. We’ve made an open-source Flipper Zero app that uses its built-in NFC hardware to give you more ways to explore magic cards—no extra hardware needed.
Here’s what’s in the app so far:
- Magic Check
Magic card detection checks MIFARE Classic Gen1 (UID), Gen2 (CUID), Gen3 (APDU), Gen4 (UMC), GDM (USCUID), and ISO 15693 Gen1 and Gen3. If it can’t reliably identify a generation, it shows Unconfirmed.
- UID Changer
lets you read a UID or enter one manually, write it to a compatible magic card, and verify the result. It supports ISO 15693 Gen2 writes too, although Magic Check can’t reliably identify Gen2.
We’d love to learn which cards you’re using, what works for you, and what you’d like to see next. Feel free to share your results or ideas in the comments!

Will be submitted to Flipper App Catalog soon.

i just got my flipper zero last week and noticed these pixels on my display that is turned off. is it broken?

First, I apologize about my DOA jokey joke.

Second, I'm interested in using Flipper 0 for two main reasons.

The first, even though it's not perhaps the most logical-sounding reason, is that I've lost my transit card so many times, sometimes even while in transit.

(I've tried everything, I'm a menace, they still get lost even when I don't lose anything else!!)

It especially sucks when I just put some funds on there and it goes missing.

I know that the Flipper 0 can "copy" and emit the RFs of RFID security keys that don't use rolling codes. What I don't know is if a rolling code system is what a transit card uses. (Don't smite me pls I don't know what I don't know yet!)

The second reason, which usually usurps all others, (except for today when I lost my card yet again in a very stressful situation,) is this:

I have been considering getting into pentesting as a hobby and maybe a side gig for a while. It seems like a great way to challenge myself and learn things, and to explore my environment through the RFs around me.

So those are the two main reasons why I'd want to get a 🐬.

There are many more small reasons, but most of them boil down to, "this sounds fun."

I know basically nothing about pentesting so far (pls don't kill me,) but I have a family member who can help introduce me, and when I get into something interesting I tend to absorb it fairly quickly. So learning would be perhaps not breezy, but definitely doable.

BUT I would hold off for a while on buying one if I can't "clone" my transit cards and use them effectively.

And no, I wouldn't lose a Flipper 0 the same way I'd lose a transit card. I don't lose anything else I have in my hands or pockets the same way- phones, wallet, pens, even other cards. I don't know what exactly makes transit cards special (or CURSED) but... [OBLIGATORY PRE-EMPTIVE DEFENSE STATEMENT OVER]

Anyone have any exp with public transit cards?

(Also- I know I could get a hack RF for way cheaper but I think I'd rather wait and spend the money on a 🐬 for my other reasons- unless someone has a great reason why- and I am open to that!)
