Hello and good day. At our gym, we use a wristband equipped with a Mifare Classic EV1 (MF1S50) chip. Is there a way to clone this chip and store it on a mobile phone, so that one can simply use the phone's NFC sensor instead? In other words, could I use the phone itself to log in, rather than the wristband? If so, how can I do this? I have already tried using two apps: NXP TagInfo and NXP TagWriter. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to work using those tools—or perhaps I made a mistake somewhere along the way. Could you please help me? Best regards from Geraberg (Thuringia).
Hello @digamcrown
Unfortunately, it is not possible to clone a MIFARE Classic EV1 card and use it directly on a smartphone NFC interface.
The main reasons are:
Smartphones do not support MIFARE Classic card emulation (Crypto-1 is not supported in NFC controllers) Card UID cannot be replicated on mobile devices
Mobile operating systems (Android/iOS) restrict low-level NFC access for security reasons
Therefore, tools such as NXP TagInfo or TagWriter cannot achieve this functionality.
Hello,
Hello,
You should contact the supplier of the gym’s system and ask if they offer a solution to create a digital badge on your smartphone, since MIFARE Classic cards have secure memory.
