Hello everyone,

I am using the MFRC522 reader to read RFID cards and perform a block decrement operation. Recently, I purchased some readers from online shops that turned out to be cloned versions. When I perform the decrement operation, it fails — the command returns a timeout error.

After that, when I read the same block (configured as a value block through the access bits), I find that the entire block data is corrupted — all 16 bytes are 0xFF.

Could a cloned RFID reader be the reason for this corruption of the value block?

If the cloned reader has incorrect timing, incomplete command support, or poor signal integrity, it may fail during the decrement operation.
