So spent the last hour trying to get the same cruzer 4GB from the hakshop to work using all available info and have the same issue. If I follow the same instructions on an 8GB Silicon Motion or another 2GB sandisk had from way back and BAMMMM works like a charm like it should.
- I saw someone say it worked by plugging in the pineapple to the wall outlet... In my case I'm using the pack that came with my pineapple order. Seems it has to be with the cruzer since other USB devices work in the same config no prob.
- Also I actually have two of the Cruzer 4GB usb drives and neither worked.
[Tests]
- Two different Cruzer 4GB usb drives.
- Used gparted / disk utility in BTR3 as well as Backbox
- Tested making 1 partition ext4 [70% - 80%] of drive and then the remaining partition as ext4 [still doesn't see drive] as well as testing the 2nd partition set as linux-swap right out of the gate. No Go
- Hit or miss to get the drive to recognize [No orange light / nothing listed using lsusb other than standard entry]
- Sometimes instead of rebooting the device I would fully disconnect power for ~1-2 minutes and fired it up and sometimes the drive would be recognized however the partitions still wouldn't mount [ No swap / no /usb]
