Hi, I am currently writing a step-by-step guide on how to clone a sim card. But before I go any further... Does anyone actually want it or am I just wasting my time.

It will contain how to clone it and what to do if you run into a few problems...

GSM SIM Cloning for Dummies


Introduction

This guide will help you "clone" your GSM SIM card and make unlimited copies of it by using either Gold Wafer Cards or 16F84a + 24C16 DIL. The "cloned" SIM card will work just like the original meaning you can make a call, send an SMS, manage phonebook and SMS messages too. You can use the "cloned" SIM and the original SIM simultaneously meaning both of your SIMs will have network and both can send SMS at the same time. However, only one of the active SIMs can make a phone call at any time. Simultaneous calls are not allowed because the call will immediately be disconnected by your Network Provider. Regarding recieving SMS from other people, only one of the SIMs will recieve the message. This is a "first-come-first-serve" basis and no bias is given to the original SIM. Obviously, the bills for the "cloned" SIM will also be reflected to the bills of the original SIM. Not all phones accept "cloned" SIMs. The Nok 9210 rejects cloned SIMs as well as most new 3G phones (and even some old ones...) Not all original SIMs can be "cloned" too because "cloning" requires that you should extract the Ki and IMSI from the original SIM and today the new GSM SIM cards are built will tougher protection algorithms. You may be able to get the Ki and the IMSI, but it will take you at least 8 hours for the latest SIMs. It could even take days...



10 easy steps to 'clone' your GSM SIM ! Let us begin...
(This is only applicable to Goldwafer Cards not to Silverwafer Cards)

STEP 1 - Downloading software from the Internet
SIM Scan 1.21 by Dejan Kaljevic --> Sim Scan 1.21
TwinSim 1.0 by lotfi17 --> TwinSim.zip
IC-Prog 1.04 by Bonny Gijzen --> http://www.ic-prog.com/icprog.zip
WinPhoenix 1.06 by Paul Arnold and Joos Design --> Winphoenix.zip
WinPhoenix EEPROM Loader --> Loader.zip
HEX to BIN Converter --> Hex2bin.zip

STEP 2 - Building your own GSM SIM Reader/Writer Hardware
SIM Reader = SIM SCAN - Smart Mouse Compatible --> Schematics
SIM Writer = JDM Programmer --> Schematics
/\/\/\/\Don't have time to build this? Buy ready-made here./\/\/\/\

STEP 3 - Buying or making your own blank SIM cards
Make your own 16F84A + 24C16 DIL --> Schematics
/\/\/\/\Don't have time to build this? Buy Goldwafer cards here./\/\/\/\

STEP 4 - Getting the Ki and IMSI of the original SIM
Install Sim Scan 1.21 by running the install.bat file.
Run and configure Sim Scan from c:\sim_scan\setup.bat file.

screen 1: Press Alt+Enter Key, then select the COM port where SIM Reader is
connected. SIM Scan will not work properly unless it is maximized to full screen.


screen 2: Select baud rate (choose 9600 bps 3.57 Mhz)


screen 3: Put original SIM card to SIM Reader and press Enter


screen 4: Press 'F5' - Get IMSI and Ki. Sim Scan will automatically create par2.bin
file as part of installation. This will take about 40 minutes on a fast computer.


screen 5: Select 'F2' or 'F3' (Do not use 'F1' unless you know what you are doing.)
'F3' Retrieves 75% of SIMs even year 2001 GSM SIMs, but it is slow.
'F2' Retrieves 50% of SIMs even year 2001 GSM SIMs and it is faster.
/\/\/\/\If the Ki and IMSI cannot be retrieved using 'F2', you can switch to 'F3'/\/\/\/\


The process of getting the Ki and the IMSI from the original SIM usually takes from
4 hours to 3 days depending on the type of GSM SIM. You can exit at anytime and
you can resume whenever you want, Sim Scan will start from where you last finished.
After the Ki and the IMSI has been retrieved, a file named c:\Imsi_ki.dat will be
created and by using Notepad to open it you will see similar to screen below.



Step 5 - Creating the HEX files for the "clone" SIM
Run TwinSim 1.0 and select 'Single-Sim' then input the Ki and the
IMSI that you got from the original SIM. For 'PIN' enter any 4
digits and for 'PUC' enter any 8 digits. After inputting all data
needed, click 'Generate Picfile' and 'Generate Epromfile' then
exit the program. Two HEX files will be generated in the folder
where TwinSim is located (pic16f84.hex + eprom.hex).


Step 6 - Converting the eeprom.hex to eeprom.bin
The eeprom.hex and hex2bin.exe files must be placed on the same directory. Run hex2bin.exe
and copy the settings from the screen below. Now a new file 'eeprom.bin' will be created.


Step 7 - Burning the EEPROM Loader to the Goldwafer.
Run IC-Prog 1.04 and configure it to work with the SIM Writer which is a JDM hardware.
Choose 'Settings' --> 'Hardware' then choose correct COM port where SIM Writer
is connected.



After setting up the hardware, put the blank Goldcard to the SIM Writer and select
16F84A from the chip list.



Now load the 'Winphoenix Loader.hex' by selecting 'File' --> "Open File'.
After loading the file, click the program all button (the one with the thunder icon).



Step 8 - Burning the eeprom.bin to the Goldcard.
Put the Goldcard which you used from IC-Prog to the SIM Reader and
then run WinPhoenix 1.06. Other versions of WinPhoenix might not work
so make sure that you are using version 1.06. Configure the COM port
where the SIM reader is connected. This can be done using the
'File' --> 'Preferences' and seleting 'General' Tab.


Select 'File' --> 'Load' and choose eeprom.bin.



Select 'Card' --> 'Program' and the eeprom.bin will be written to the Golwafer's 24C16.



Step 9 - Burning the pic16f84.hex to the Goldwafer.
Put the Goldwafer to the SIM writer hardware and run IC-Prog 1.04 again.
Follow the same steps as described in Step 7, but this time load the pic16f84.hex
file instead. You can program this card with 'CP' enabled or disabled, it does not matter.



Step 10 - Testing the 'cloned' SIM to your phone.
Insert the 'cloned' SIM to your phone and enter the PIN code which you wrote earlier
using the TwinSim 1.0 program. Wait for the phone to register to the Network and now
you are done :)

Is it possible to intercept calls after cloning the sim card

24-02-2004, 08:23 AM
sweet. count me in.... where can i get blank sims?

nx2k
03-03-2004, 05:25 AM
from what i read in the introduction and i admit this is the first i've heard of cloning, it seems as though both original and cloned can be registered on the network in standby however as calls go in and go out, only one sim will be able to answer correct? so incoming calls will ring on both phones but the one who answers it first will connect to network?? would the original sim need a password to log on or only the clone?
so this would be a good idea to clone a sim if that person has an unlimited plan and don't mind you using their minutes when they're not using it right?

ok last week i sucessfully cloned my sim, here's what i did:

get a super gsm reader (serial) & simscan2.0 links to both can be found all over this forum so i'm not going to post them here. i popped open super gsm to make sure i could read imsi off card, to determine it wasn't a comp128v2 card....once i read imsi i just opened simscan2.0 up & let it crack my KI....took about 2 1/2-3hrs total time to make par2.bin & find key for KI, this was performed on an athlon 3000 w/768mb ram. I had already order some simcard8 cards from ucables(see my original post to get link)as well as a few silver & gold wafer cards....I've so far been sucessfull in using sim-emu(provided pre written on simcard8's) & writing my own cards. I'm currently working on finding a willing guinea pig to try cracking t-mobile & AT&T cards, from my understanding AT&T uses comp128 v1 , but i'm thinking since t-mobile originated in UK they may be using the newer cards. Anyone has any questions please reply...i see all those views with no replies....i wrote a little how to for my friend & i'll post that if anyone asks me

just a little quirck i found.....when using sim-emu the cloned sim always rings before the original cingular one, when i wrote my own cards this was not the case....now i'm curious as to why it does this? anyone have answer???

so this would be a good idea to clone a sim if that person has an unlimited plan and don't mind you using their minutes when they're not using it right?

to answer your question bro, i cloned mine just to not have to swap sims between phones, the only problem with sharing your plan would be if an incoming call is answered or an out going call is initiated on the original sim & the clone simultaniously, i'm not actually sure what this would do, I'm sure only one would register & the other would drop. there isn't any password that's what imsi & KI do is identify your sim on the network & to your account.....a clone is by definition an exact copy right. but im' sure your provider can see this & would probrably know what's goin on if it happened more than once or twice. My friend works for cingular as tier 3 support, they know about cloning & plan to upgrade to the newer sims soon....but they don't even have the money to finish the 1900 band roll out nation wide so it may be a while...if you plan on cloning i'd say hit up ebay & buy a few v1 cards, that way if you ever need a new sim you can get a old v1 ota'd & still be able to clone....i also suggest either buying SIMCARD8's from www.ucables.com with simemu prewritten on them or writing sim emu on your PIC cards as it's alot easier to reconfigure sim emu that write a new card

Did I read somewhere that uk sims are more difficult to clone? I tried to scan a virgin uk sim for the ki etc numbers and halfway through scan came error now sim not usable for calls although was able to access to retrieve phone book. I used SuperSim reader for this. Is it general or just the SuperSim reader software?
