    Hi everyone, I just wanted to chime in quickly and clarify that the OpenWRT trunk builds for the NANO are not compatible with the Mark V, nor are they 'official' (read: the firmware that we provide to users of the WiFi Pineapple).

    Thanks Foxtrot. Could you suggest a better OpenWRT truck build for this venture?


    I used this image to upgrade from 3.0.0 beta
    https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wifi-pineapple-nano-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

    The MKV would ping on 192.168.1.1 but not provide a GUI.
    The MKV recovery was accessible with dip switch 5 in the down position and browsing to 192.168.1.1 in Chrome, but not Firefox.
    I had to use the factory.bin file to recover.
    https://www.wifipineapple.com/mk5/factory.bin

    From there I went back to 3.0.0 beta, then this NANO image.
    http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.4/targets/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-18.06.4-ar71xx-generic-wifi-pineapple-nano-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

    Now on OpenWrt 18.06.4

  2. I'm still on LEDE Reboot 17.01.5 and want to return to 3.0.0 beta then commit the Nano upgrade. However,

    sysupgrade -n /tmp/upgrade-3.0.0.bin 

    throws

    Image metadata not found
    Invalid image, hardware ID mismatch, hw:30400002 00000001 image:6d6b3531 00000001.
    Image check 'platform_check_image' failed.

    so what code did you run to return back to 3.0.0 beta?

    with the original 3.0 beta and the Nano upgrade now im on 18.06.02 and kinda of official release. New enough for me.

     

    how did you go back to 3.0.0 beta from LEDE Reboot 17.01.5?

    I hope that helps 🙂

    BTW: When building MANA. Chose the "light" version when installing on "Non Chaos Calmer" versions, as the main version has a postinst script made for the Pineapple.

    Thank you for the help.

  5. I found my notes from the installation of that firmware file.

    I tried this first

    sysupgrade -n /tmp/lede-17.01.5-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin

    It threw an error. So,

    mtd -r write /tmp/lede-17.01.5-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin linux 

    This worked for me. My previous post left out the "-r" after mtd.

    If anyone else tries the image, then let us know what you did with your reclaimed Mark V.

    How did you flash the OpenWRT firmware? Because sysupgrade will throw a error when you try flashing anything other than a "official" firmware. Did you modify the MR3040 firmware or did you build from source?

    I should have noted that the only reason I did this was create a wifi repeater with VPN on alternate firmware.
    After that was successful I started testing to find out what more can be done.
    lazy - I did not build from source. I used the vanilla mr3040v2 .bin /lazy
    I put the .bin file in /tmp
    In the console

    mtd -r write /tmp/firmware_image.bin firmware

    I think that failed with error. Googlefoo pointed me to

    mtd write /tmp/firmware-image.bin linux

    And then it went...

    Known issues so far:

    - need to set the SD to automount
    - need to have the AWUS036NEH recognized

    Working on

    - Keeping the VPN package installed and having enough room for Wifite2 and supporting packages. Initiating the install script fills up storage to around 92%.
    - OR not install Wifite2 to internal and move it to mounted storage.
