english_gent Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Things went wrong after a failed infusion install of 'random roll'. When I try and install any infusion it no longer gives me the option where I want to install it. It says I either have no SD card installed or there is not enough room. I have formatted the SD Card using resources so no idea whats happening. The reformat didn't work, in fact when I try reformatting it again without it in there it says the same thing and seems to format so not sure if it is seeing the card at all. So I put the SD card in a phone and tried to format it and I couldn't so it looks like its buggered. Any ideas how I can fix the card ?

phubar Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I had the same or a similar issue. Infusions couldn't be consistently installed/accessed on the SD Card (sometimes it would mount, sometimes it wouldn't). I kept tryihng to format the SD card that came with the Pineapple but it failed. I ultimately replaced the bad SD card with a newly formatted card and re-flashed. Worked fine after the replacement. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
english_gent Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ok I gathered that the MicroSD was broken so I bought another 4GB card this time and it is formatted as DOS on my PC. How do I format it for the Pineapple to see it please as its still not seeing the SD when i install it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phubar Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) After formatting, extract the downloaded ZIP containing the SD card files into the root of your SD card from the https://wifipineapple.com/?flashing instructions. (just follow the Unbricking a Bricked MKV at the bottom of the page). Edited January 22, 2014 by phubar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hits_s Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Same problem here, deletion of infusions, corrupted data logs, etc, etc, etc .... I've solved changing the original SD for another 2 Gb SDYa I thought it was only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 If you are seeing issues such as corruption or lost SD cards, you may be performing too many operations for the SD card to handle. It's not a class 10 card. A simple re-format should make the card be available again. If you want to have extreme stability, grab yourself any size class 10 micro SD and you'll be sailing smoothly!

english_gent Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Silly question - if I just want to reformat the card and the Pineapple is working fine cant I just use the 'reformat SD card' in the Resources tile ? Why would I have to re-flash the Pineapple ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awskier08 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yep, that button just does the card, doesn't touch the system infusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
english_gent Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Tvm that worked - the original 2GB card included with the unit was buggered somehow. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hits_s Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Running randoroll nothing more and having installed more than half of the infusions without executing them.Usually erased by power-cycling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
