Softbricked a gen2 tag by using the previous version which did not have the fix for it. Do not see any option to recover that. New version should fix the issue, but not on my tag. Please help!

Works as described. Save me so many times when fob stopped working for some reason, cloned the original one in under 1 min. Thank you guys for this very useful app. Love from Australia

Is there something wrong with the latest update? It can work when writing sector 0 and block 0 or other sector or block individually. But it won't work when I try writing a whole dump file from sector 0 to 15. I am using CUID card and Samsung Note 9.

Excellent tool, one thing that wold help very much, is creating a history of UIDs Scanned, to keep track later, the toast notification, I have to screen shot it. But nonetheless, the tool is very useful.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This tool provides several features to interact with (and only with) MIFARE Classic RFID-Tags.
It is designed for users who have at least basic familiarity with the MIFARE Classic technology.

Please read the whole page and make sure you got everything right before rating. If you like MCT please consider to buy the donate version.


My dump/key files are gone after updating MCT!

FEATURES

• Save and edit the tag data you read
• Write to MIFARE Classic tags (block-wise)
• Clone MIFARE Classic tags
(Write dump of a tag to another tag; write 'dump-wise')
• Key management based on dictionary-attack
(Write the keys you know in a file (dictionary).
MCT will try to authenticate with these
keys against all sectors and read as much as possible.)
• Format a tag back to the factory/delivery state
• Write the manufacturer block of special MIFARE Classic tags
• Create, edit and save key files (dictionaries)
• Decode & Encode MIFARE Classic Value Blocks

• It's open source (GPLv3) ;)


IMPORTANT NOTES
Some important things are:
• The features this tool provides are very basic. There are no such
fancy things like saving a URL to an RFID-Tag with a nice looking
graphical user interface. If you want so save things on a tag,
you have to input the raw hexadecimal data.
• This App can NOT crack/hack
any MIFARE Classic keys. If you want to read/write an RFID-Tag, you
need keys for this specific tag first. For additional information
please read/see Getting Started from the links section.
• There will be no "brute-force" attack
capability in this application. It is way too slow due
to the protocol.
• The first block of the first sector of an original
MIFARE Classic tag is read-only i.e. not writable. But there
are special MIFARE Classic tags (aka magic tag gen2) that
support writing to the manufacturer block with a simple write command.
This App is able to write to such tags and can therefore create fully
correct clones. However, some special tags require a special command
sequence to put them into the state where writing to the manufacturer
block is possible.
These tags will not work.
Remember this when you are shopping for special tags!
• This app will NOT work on some devices because
their hardware (NFC-controller) does not support MIFARE Classic
( https://github.com/ikarus23/MifareClassicTool/issues/1 ).
You can find a list of unsupported devices here:
