Scout32 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I recently received my replacement Pineapple due to faulty wifi hardware (no other explanation why it wasn't working). I'm now experiencing USB issues that I hand't come across with the other Pineapple I had to return. I'm on a MK IV, 2.7.0 with my formatted USB per the directions and infusions installed. The problem I'm experiencing is the USB drive, and also the USB hub, are recognized on the USB page, but they're not being read for some reason. I first tested this out with my Anker Astro 3 10000 mah battery. The Pineapple was plugged into the 9v plug and the HakShop usb hub was in the 5v usb plug, then my USB drive (16gb San Disk) was in the hub along with my Alfa 036H. The Pineapple recognized the hub, usb, and alfa at first, and my infusions worked and I could bring the Alfa up, but then it seemed the Pineapple stopped reading from the hub after only a minute or two. I tried to plug the usb directly into the Pineapple, but it wouldn't read it then either. If I restarted the Pineapple with the USB inserted, the Pineapple wouldn't boot up and the WPS button would blink until I took the USB out, then it would work properly. I then replaced the USB and it worked fine, but if I remove the USB at any point and reinsert it, it doesn't work. I know this isn't a power issue because I've seen several other posts on the forums where others are using the same battery pack with the Pineapple, powered hub, and usb PLUS a Rasberry Pi. Plus my battery is fully charged. I've also tested this while on DC power. If I remove the usb and try to plug it back into the Pineapple, it won't work. If the USB is in the Pineapple when booting, it won't boot properly until I unplug the USB. I've also tested the hub independantly with my PC. I powered the hub with the Anker and my computer recognized and read my usb with no problem. I think this is an issue with the Pineapple's USB port. I'm really hoping I didn't get a second hardware-faulty Pineapple :( (and I 100% know & believe its not at all a HakShop issue; the hardware is all Alfa obviously and the HakShop has been absolutely great on customer support). Would flashing to 2.7.1+ be a good resolution? I saw in the changelogs there was better USB reliablilty in the new releases. I'm just not sure why I'm now having a USB read issue when I didn't experience it with the other Pineapple. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank in advance!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout32 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I flashed 2.7.4 and that fixed the error booting with a usb device installed, however it did not fix the issue where the USB is unrecognized when reinserted into a running Pineapple. That issue still exists and I'm not entirely sure why. Has anyone else experienced this, or a similar, issue? The Pineapple I returned didn't have a problem with removing and reinserting USBs, but this one does. Not sure if my logs will help, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! 04:15:01 Pineapple user.notice root: CLEANUP: memory looking good04:15:01 Pineapple user.notice root: CLEANUP: Karma log looking good04:15:01 Pineapple user.notice root: CLEANUP: Clean-up Script Executed04:15:01 Pineapple cron.info crond[1510]: crond: USER root pid 2028 cmd /pineapple/scripts/cleanup.sh04:14:02 Pineapple cron.err crond[1510]: time disparity of 22655773 minutes detected04:13:30 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[1605]: DHCPREQUEST(br-lan) 172.16.42.201 18:87:96:3b:50:8f04:13:30 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[1605]: DHCPOFFER(br-lan) 172.16.42.201 18:87:96:3b:50:8f04:13:30 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[1605]: DHCPDISCOVER(br-lan) 18:87:96:3b:50:8f04:13:30 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[1605]: DHCPACK(br-lan) 172.16.42.201 18:87:96:3b:50:8f Android_A1000017D9A55704:13:23 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 18:87:96:3b:50:8f IEEE 802.11: authenticated04:13:23 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 18:87:96:3b:50:8f IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1)00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: sh: write error: Invalid argument00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: sh: write error: Invalid argument00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: setting up led WLAN00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: setting up led WAN00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: setting up led USB00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: setting up led LAN00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: Selected interface 'wlan0'00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: OK00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: /etc/rc.common: eval: line 1: can't create /sys/class/leds/alfa:blue:wan/mode: nonexistent directory00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: /etc/rc.common: eval: line 1: can't create /sys/class/leds/alfa:blue:wan/device_name: nonexistent directory00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: /etc/rc.common: eval: line 1: can't create /sys/class/leds/alfa:blue:lan/mode: nonexistent directory00:01:06 Pineapple user.info sysinit: /etc/rc.common: eval: line 1: can't create /sys/class/leds/alfa:blue:lan/device_name: nonexistent directory00:01:04 Pineapple kern.info kernel: [ 64.890000] br-lan: port 2(wlan0) entered forwarding state00:01:03 Pineapple kern.err kernel: [ 63.120000] ath: phy0: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up00:01:03 Pineapple kern.err kernel: [ 63.110000] ath: phy0: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0x00000024 AR_DIAG_SW=0x02000020 DMADBG_7=0x00026e0000:01:02 Pineapple kern.info kernel: [ 62.890000] br-lan: port 2(wlan0) entered forwarding state00:01:02 Pineapple kern.info kernel: [ 62.890000] br-lan: port 2(wlan0) entered forwarding state00:01:02 Pineapple kern.info kernel: [ 62.810000] device wlan0 entered promiscuous mode00:01:01 Pineapple kern.info kernel: [ 61.690000] device wlan0 left promiscuous mode00:01:01 Pineapple kern.info kernel: [ 61.690000] br-lan: port 2(wlan0) entered disabled state00:01:01 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq[1605]: using nameserver 8.8.8.8#5300:01:01 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq[1605]: using local addresses only for domain lan00:01:01 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq[1605]: using local addresses only for domain lan00:01:01 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq[1605]: started, version 2.62 cachesize 15000:01:01 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq[1605]: reading /tmp/resolv.conf.auto00:01:01 Pineapple daemon.info dnsmasq[1605]: read /etc/hosts -

d1000 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi Scout, No news about this issues? I believe your post describes 100% my experience with MKIV. Thanks, D1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout32 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Unfortunately I haven't been able to fix this issue and no one has offered any suggestions on any of my posts for wifi problems or this power issue. I haven't been able to get the HakShop usb hub reliably working. I'm really disappointed in the Alfa hardware, which I'm attributing my issues to. I wish the hardware was half as good as the software and modules the community is developing! I think what the devs and community are contributing are amazing - it's just unfortunate the Alfa hardware isn't more reliable. This is my second Pineapple due to the first one's wifi burning out completely... I even bought two different internal antenna cables. Oh well, its a cheap router. The amazing software makes the hardware headaches worth it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
