Received packet frame with variable part too short? & sc raw

[joelsernamoreno]

Hello

Whenever I run any command I get the following: Received packet frame with variable part too short?

I can read cards without problems, but I get that message.

But for example... if I run the hw version command I only get that message, I don't get the command information. This worked yesterday but not today...

I flashed bootrom and fullimage again but I have the same problems.

Another problem: When I run the command sc raw xxxxx I get the following:

Command successfully executed, xxxxxxxxxxx Requesting 0x17 bytes response smart card response failed

hm.. Sounds like a bad usb cable. Have you some other cables to test with? And try another usb port aswell

[joelsernamoreno]

I have always used the cable included in Proxmark3

Now I've used other USB 2.0 ports and other cables, but it's still the same

Hello! I have done the complete installation in Kali Linux and I no longer receive that warning, the command hw version works

I'm going to run several tests and I'm writing to tell you that everything is ok

[iceman1001]

Just make sure you kill the modem manager on Kali. I will close this issue, if you have more troubles feel free to make a new issue. Also consider contributing a fix for problems you find.

Modem manager I removed it in Ubuntu 16.04 and Kali Linux

Proxmark3 I only got it to work on Kali Linux
