siftyy Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hey everyone, I've bricked my pineapple so I went to this guide for help, I understood everything up until step 8. How do you extract the zip to root? through the web page or plugged directly into a pc? Lastly, when you're formatting the drive what format should you use, FAT32?

Guest spazi Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 What it means is that you should insert the formatted sd card into a secondary computer, windows, mac or linux. Extract the content of the zip file onto the sd card. What extracting zip files or whatever to the root of the sd card means, is that you shouldn't put it in a folder but onto the empty sd card :) I formatted mine in fat32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phubar Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I used my Android phone to format and copy the files over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorrit Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I also could not boot from the sd. I'm reading more posts at the moment with the same issues. I solved it by installing from a USB with the update.bin & md5 file on it. Still have te problem that my MKV is not mounting the sd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
