whypineapplewhy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hi All, so i began setting up my pineapple , got about halfway through (just got it connected to my phone) and had to stop - unplugged it packed it back up in the box and went home. Tried to do the same thing today and the pineapple never fully boots , just blinking blue LED - if i plug it into the computer / phone its just diconnecting and reconnecting - factory reset and firmware upgrade process seem to do nothing to interupt the blue flashing and the device never properly boots. Have searched but not found anyone with a similar issue help! regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whypineapplewhy Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 so i can plug the wifipineapple into my pc holding the reset which results in a solid blue light for 30 seconds or so and then the disconnecting / connecting starts again. same thing happens on the phone.

whypineapplewhy Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 tried again with the usba -a plugged into my pc and the y cable connected to the nano - light eventually went solid so i tried to setup via the phone app , got stuck on the step where it asks to turn off the antenna , pressed continue after a fast press of the reset button and then it started disconnecting / reconnecting to the phone.

After you did this (holding the button down while powering on), did you complete the firmware installation? I've never interrupted the process like that, but I do know that it would have a different IP address at that time (like 192.168.1.1) and would be looking for you to upload new firmware. Check out the "Firmware Recovery" section On the Pinapple FAQ page that should get you at least out of DFU mode...hopefully... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whypineapplewhy Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 no there was no interruption of the upgrade - i didnt get that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboPackets Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Ugh...so from your computer's side it behaves like you're plugging/unplugging a USB ethernet device over and over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whypineapplewhy Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 exactly - i did just manage to get further with it - right to the upgrading firmware section - the device then rebooted but remained off with no LED's for longer than 10 minutes - any ideas?

JumboPackets Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hmmm...not sure. If it doesn't make it through firmware recovery without rebooting, that sure *feels* like a hardware problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whypinapplewhy2 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 hmm I cant reply on my other account for some reason. now the device flashes flashes for a few seconds and turns off. anyone else add something ? is there a support line ?
