Problem uploading an applet to the SE with GPShell

[perdyprosty]

Hello everybody.
First of all, I have a Nokia 6212 NFC, and it's already unlocked with Nokia Unlock MIDlet.

I'm trying to upload an applet to the SE with GPShell but it seems I'm not selecting the correct AID...

mode_211
enable_trace
establish_context
card_connect
select -AID A000000003000000
Command --> 00A4040008A000000003000000
Wrapped command --> 00A4040008A000000003000000
Response <-- 6A82
select_application() returns 0x80216A82 (6A82: The application to be selected could not be found.)

On the other hand, if I just send the SELECT command, the response is:

mode_211
enable_trace
establish_context
card_connect
select
Command --> 00A4040000
Wrapped command --> 00A4040000
Response <-- 6F2383023F008801008A010582023F008D02EF0384008C050F010101FFAB068401309E01019000
card_disconnect
release_context

Could anybody explain me which is the correct AID to use?
TIA and regards
Alfonso

By the way, my hw config is: ACR122U reader (touchatag) and Nokia 6221.

Any idea would be very appreciated!

Hallo Alfonso,

I had the same problem in the past. In the end, my solution was to switch to another smart card reader.

The problem is, that you are not sending commands to the contactless smart card (i.e. the Nokia phone's secure element). Instead you send the commands to the reader's SAM module. This module has no card manager with that AID and consequently replies that the application could not be selected.

If you take a look at the reader's API manuals, you will see that there are two versions of the reader, one with SAM and one without.
* The manual of the SAM version explains that contactless communication is only possible with pseudo APDUs. Regular APDUs are only used to communicate with the internal SAM module.
* The manual of the reader version without SAM on the other hand explains that regular APDUs can be used to communicate with contactless smart cards.

So you could try to remove the SAM from the reader and see if the reader acts as the SAM-less version then. (I have not tested this and I do not really expect this to work but it would be interesting to prove me wrong!)

Hallo Michael,

I've removed the sim card inserted in the SAM slot and then I've tried this GPShell script:

mode_211
enable_trace
establish_context
card_connect -readerNumber 1
select
Command --> 00A4040000
Wrapped command --> 00A4040000
select_application() returns 0x000006F7 (The fragment has received incorrect data)

The reader seems to work, but I think the APDU processing is still wrong...
Do you think the only way to solve this problem (and upload the applet to the SE of the phone with success) is to change the reader for another without SAM??

Danke tshön
Regards
Alfonso

Hallo Alfonso,

as the APDUs transfered by GPShell are defined inside the globalplatform library, I don't see any chance to adapt GPShell's behavior to the requirements of the ACR122U (i.e. wrapping commands into pseudo APDUs).

Hallo Michael,
Do you think the only solution could be to change the reader to another ACR122U without SAM?
Could you tell me which reader are you using to download applets into the SE?
It would help me so much in order to buy another reader.

TIA and regards
Alfonso

Hallo Alfonso,

I'm using an Omnikey 5321.

Hallo Michael,

Using an ACR122U from ACS, without SAM, it works properly (the version from touchatag ACR122U-SAM doesn't work for applet uploading, everybody have to NOTICE this).

Thank you!

Hallo Alfonso,

I'm using an Omnikey 5321.

br,

It's worked fine with the Omnikey reader as well,
Thanks Michael
