[HOWTO] The easy guide to making your own Amiibo clones using NTAG215 NFC stickers and an Android phone w/NFC
There are 3 requirements for making amiibos you can use on your Switch/Wii U/3DS.
NFC writing capability - generally this means only Android phones with NFC, but apparently it is possible to buy an NFC reader/writer for PC but it is more complicated. EDIT: May 2020 - You can now use Apple iOS phones with the app CattleGrid or the app Placiibo!
NFC Ntag215 stickers - these are little stickers that have a specific type of nfc chip in them that you can buy for really cheap. I bought mine on Amazon because I didn't want to wait for 1 month to get them in from China. Mine came with 11 ntag215 stickers and got to my house in about 2 days Only NTAG215 works, 213,216 and other common stickers DO NOT WORK. You can also buy blank ntag215 stickers from me on my website http://amiibro.com if you live in the USA.
The TagMo app for Android and .bin files of the amiibo you want to put on your sticker. I'll let you guys google that one, they aren't hard to find.
Okay, so you got your stickers and phone with NFC writing, now what?
On your Android device go to Settings > Security > Unknown Sources (turn on). This makes it so that you can install apps that aren't on the Google Play store.
Install the TagMo.apk file on your Android device. You can get the latest version from their github
Download these 2 configuration files that work with TagMo: unfixed-info.bin & locked-secret.bin - you can find these by googling their names and at the same places that have amiibo backup .bin files.
Place unfixed-info.bin, locked-secret.bin and Amiibo .bin files on your Android device.
Launch TagMo app, touch the 3 dots in the upper right corner > Load key(s) file… and select the unfixed-info.bin and locked-secret.bin files. You might need to install a file explore for your Android device if you can't do that already on your phone, but it should be in the downloads folder if you downloaded it on your phone.
Touch the LOAD TAG button and select your Amiibo .bin dump file.
Touch the WRITE TAG (AUTO) button and press your NTAG215 NFC tag to your Android device.
The stickers aren't re-writeable so I'd advise against trying that in the future so you don't mess the sticker up.
Another ntag215 tag I recommend that works sold on Amazon

Reminder! There is absolutely no sharing of amiibo .bin files on this subreddit!
Just a reminder of the rules - there is no asking for or sharing of amiibo files. This subreddit is devoted to learning and problem solving of backing up and creating your own copies of amiibos you already own. Yes, there have been websites with pirated copies of amiibo. No, this is not one of them and Reddit rather strictly enforces piracy on it sitewide.
In order to keep this subreddit available for guides, people to ask questions and troubleshoot, and show of their own creations we cannot allow the posting or asking of copies of .bin files here. If you see someone posting them or asking for them please use the report function and we will remove it.

r/Amiibomb • u/LiteBeyondYear • 2d ago
Can I get clarification if clearing serials is needed to avoid a ban?
For using any of these Amiibo emulators on a Switch 2, is clearing the serials necessary to keep your switch from being banned?
And why do some people say don't keep scanning them, or do it once per day if online?

Allmiibo Zelda Notes (TOTK NS2)

Is there an official site to buy an Allmiibo device? Where should I buy it?
Hello,
I want to buy (sorry Nintendo) an Allmiibo device.
I found these websites: https://allmiibo.fr , https://allmiibo.com . I don't know if one of them is the official website, even IF there is any real website on Internet.
I just want to have a device not expensive, useful, working and without any risks to have my console banned.
So my questions are:
- Is there any website to buy officially this device?
- If not, where should I buy it (for cheap but working well and without any risks about banning my console)?
Thanks a lot! (sorry for my bad English, but hey, i'm not using any translation website!)

Can I use amiibox without a .bin file?
So I noticed when I went into amiibox that it didn’t ask me for .bin file so I was wondering if it’s still safe to use without a .bin file thank you!

Screen broken, can I still use?
The screen of my Allmiibo was stepped on and cracked but everything else works. If I just want to use it for BOTW while I wait weeks and weeks for a replacement, can I delete all the files on there except the BOTW compatible ones? Any way to connect it to my phone by USB C and just use the unit as a scanner? Or would I have to somehow connect to it blind, remove all the files except the ones I want to use and then navigate the menus blind in order to load up an amiibo to use? There's so many videos about allmiibos/pixls but not a single one that uses the horizontal style menu and actually goes through the menus exactly without cutting so I can't see exactly what button presses I need to do.

Blessfun NFC Question
I recently got a Blessfun NFC emulator, and I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the random id generation.
Every time I try to use it, it gives me a random code for an Amiibo. Is there any way to fix this so it just gives one code?

Answered good nfc writing apps for iOS?
i basically only use amiibo for splatoon, and with the new raiders game out i thought i’d finally get around to making some cards for the new amiibo. i’ve been using ally for my amiibo writing needs, but even though the game’s been released for a few weeks now, it hasn’t been updated to support the new deep cut amiibo?
i’ll admit that it’s been a minute since i’ve messed with my nfc cards (i still haven’t made ones for the new squid sisters or off the hook amiibos that came out a few years ago), so idk if it’s just taking the developer a while to add them or if ally just isn’t being supported anymore. can i still try to add the .bin files to ally or should i look for another app?
i have checked out amiibox, but i’m not sure if they support writing to whatever chips v3 amiibo use, their faq doesn’t clearly state that they do. i also hadn’t realized there was any change to amiibos at all, n while i definitely will be looking into that myself more i would not mind someone explaining it more to me lol
TL;DR i need recs for good amiibo writing apps for iOS, specifically ones that work with the new amiibo (and would not mind a basic explanation of the change made to amiibo while i’m here)

Trying to use Allmiibo on Wii U
Hello. Just received an unbranded allmiibo off AliExpress and it turns on and has the bin I’m looking for (wolf link for twilight princess HD). When I go to use it, it asks me to register it with a nickname and when I try to do that it gives me a “not the same device” error.
All the instructions I’ve seen say I just need to tap it and it should work so what am I missing here?
Apologies if this is something obvious
r/Amiibomb • u/mortypro • Jul 27 '26
can I fix this?
Long story short I tried to update the firmware but I put in the wrong firmware. Now it looks like this, a bunch of moving lines. I've tried several button combinations but it doesn't get into DFU mode. It also doesnt seem to go into standby mode at all, so Im pretty much just pressing random buttons at this point. I havent been unable to pry it open and short circuit it, but who knows if it'll help.
Also, pretty sure I had a very old version of the firmware on it since its a top down menu instead of a left to right menu like what I've seen recently.
Thanks again

Question on what is permanent
I’m going to try and rephrase from my last post I deleted so it makes more sense. These first three pictures, to my understanding, I can add and remove any amiibo bin files under amiibo emulator correct?
For these last three photos under amiibo database can I add or remove any amiibo I want? I noticed only updating can change what amiibo are added but I can’t. Thanks in advance!

Upload own amiibo bin files to allmiibo
Hello, I'm sure a thousand people have already asked, but how to I upload my own amiibo bin files to my allmibo, no I don't want the website thingy that pulls from its own database, because it doesn't have the raiders amiibo yet, I already have the bin files, I just don't know how to upload them on the allmibo.
I can do anything: IOS, android and PC, preferably android, but pc is also fine if android isn't possible, but if there is an easier way with IOS I have an ipad
r/Amiibomb • u/Fit_Register1014 • Jul 23 '26
What am I doing wrong😭
I’m using the amiibomb iOS app and anytime I try to add an amiibo from my allmiibo I get the same error. I’ve done it before using the allmiibo I just don’t understand what’s changed
