Mark V >5 minute boot up

Recommended Posts

Hi

I thought I would add to this thread, I am having the same issue with my new replacement pineapple (last one was fried after a wetware issue and a usb battery pack).

I have a flashing amber light and a solid green.

Steps taken so far

I have changed the SD card for another

Formatted and re downloaded the upgrade.bin md5 files both 1.1 and 1.04

Performed the bricked reflash procedure

No luck

I can see the pineapple via ssh but this is only the MK5 Stager shell

Would love to get this working as I need to use it in a demo next week....

Please see this thread for a resolution!

Best Regards,

Sebkinne

Thanks

I redid the unbricking procedure this time I left the SD card out of the slot for the procedure and reboot. My pineapple is now up and running.... :rolleyes:

We actually changed the instructions and got rid of the extra step - the stager - in between.

Got my Mark V in the mail a week ago.

Had the same issue.

I had to order an adapter for SD cards.

I then reformatted the SD card and downloaded the files.

I still had the same issue.

I had to purchase a new SD card. After formatting it and putting the files it worked.

It seems this problem isnt unique to me. Very odd and cumbersome.

Same problem, out of the box, it went green and then just flashing amber,

I fixed mine by reformatting it to FAT it was ext and just dropping in the downloaded versions of the bin and md5

Note i did the reformatting on a kali machine, not from windows idk if that makes a difference seems to with reformatting SD cards for my Pi
