  1. Hey again.
    So I'm trying to do a firmware recovery so my Pineapple TETRA is working again. I held the reset button. Plugged in power. Held the reset button for 10+ seconds. Release the reset button. Connected both the USB Y cables to laptop and the other end to ETH1 port on the pineapple. The interface comes up in the adapters. Configured 192.168.1.2 and 255.255.255.0 static IP in windows to the RealTek adapter that pineapple brings up. Tried connecting to http://192.168.1.1 but the web page is not reachable. The yellow LED light on the pineapple is solid.

    I also tried connecting to the UART bridge. It shows up as COM3 (shows up as USB Serial Port COM3 if thats important). Used Putty to connect. The top shows COM3 - Putty but I dont see any output on the terminal. Presses ENTER as said but doesnt show anything. I dont think its a hardware issue since the UART is working and the adapter shows up as well. Any help is very much appreciated.

    You are mixing things up. Pressing the reset button for 7 seconds is used when doing a factory reset, not when doing a firmware recovery. I'd suggest you read the documentation a bit more in depth.

    It won't be possible to get it delivered to Pakistan, at least not from the Hak5 shop

    Using this.

    Held for 10 seconds as well still no change.

    What happens when you follow the documented way of doing a firmware recovery? I would suggest trying that first instead of walking paths that isn't documented or complex to achieve.

    Other things to check; try different USB cables, try different USB ports on the computer, try connecting the Tetra to other computers...

    I tried that. Pressing the RESET button for 7 seconds. Lights dont change or flicker. All three seem to be solid (which is also the same as I plug it in). Set the IP to 192.168.1.2/24 but cant access the webpage. It also says a WiFi recovery mode. But the AP of Pineapple_xxxx never gets up.

    I would agree to the assumption that it's power related.

    From the docs
    "The WiFi Pineapple TETRA requires 24W for normal stable operation"

    So, doing a bit of simple math...

    USB 2.0 can provide power in the following ways
    During enumeration = 100 mA
    After enumeration and possible negotiation = 500 mA

    If the main connector of the Y-cable is successful in negotiating 500 mA and the "slave" connector only gets 100 mA since it's not a real USB device, just something that draws power and can't be enumerated, then...

    5 volt, 0.5 amperes = 2.5 watts
    5 volt, 0.1 amperes = 0.5 watts
    Which will result in a max of 3 watts

    If the "slave" connector would be able to enumerate itself and get 500 mA as well, then...

    5 volt, 0.5 amperes = 2.5 watts
    5 volt, 0.5 amperes = 2.5 watts
    Which will result in a max of 5 watts

    Pretty far from the minimum requirement of 24 watts, right?!

    Even if it's USB 3.0 delivering power, it will for sure struggle to reach 24 watts.

    Using the 12 volt barrel connector and a 2 amp power source will result in the 24 watts needed though. A 2 amp powerbank (minimum) would work if using USB since there should be no USB host enumeration going on in such a scenario.

    There's no way you would be able to provide enough juice using the Y-cable. Even though it's possible to get the Tetra running using it, it's still not within spec although the docs say the Y-cable can be used. It will probably reach some spike in power consumption which the USB Y-cable can't provide and either "stalls" or reboots and that's what you're experiencing.

    So, I understand that. But right now Im using the adapter that came with it plugged into the wall. and the USB Y cable (both ends) plugged in my laptop. The adapter comes up but still no luck getting it to work and still network cable unplugged on the network manager.

    The UART port. I used the same Y cable that came with it and put in the UART port. A COM6 comes up in the device manager. Can I somehow try and do a recovery mode on the pineapple using it? Or how can I do a factory reset on the pineapple some other way. My company ordered it 2 years back and I just got my hands on it so Im not sure if its messed up or anything. Maybe a reset might help.

  5. I got a Pineapple TETRA ( MK5.8 as it says in the back). I have it connected to my PC on the USB A port to the Pineapple with the other end. Here is an image for reference.

    I have added the IPs like so. IP: 172.16.42.42 Netmask: 255.255.0.0
    DNS: 8.8.8.8.

    I cant seem to connect to the pineapple on http://172.16.42.1:1471. I cant ping it either. Right now the LEDs enabled are all three solid. The network cable also mentions its unplugged. Not sure if thats intended. Cant find anything on the book that came with it.

    Darrens GitHub was "cleaned" when the 2nd gen Ducky was released. One reason was probably that users started to flash the firmware of the 1st gen Ducky on the 2nd gen one which rendered the new Ducky inoperable/useless.

    To get hold of 1st gen Ducky firmware files and flash utilities, try the following links. Remember though that these links aren't official sources, so using them is at your own risk!

    Ill check. Thanks!

  7. Hello. I have a classic USB Rubber Ducky. I cant find the firmwares and how I can flash them on this. The github repo from darren seems to be deleted.

    Right now I believe it has the Twin Duck firmware because I can put the inject.bin file in it and when I replug it it works but also opens it up as mass storage.

    If there is any, please link me to the classic rubber ducky wiki as well.

    Thanks!
