S3V3N Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 the SD card that came with the unit is bad, so I am trying to use a different one. when I download the firmware file, I am only getting the .bin file, not the md5 file that the instructions state I should be placing on the card too. Where do I get this file from?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3V3N Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Ok, I read in another post that the md5 file is not required. But when I reboot the mk5 with just the .bin file after a min or so the red led comes on . With the original as card (that is unreadable on my PC ) the amber light just blinks and blinks . Any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 What instructions are you following? You should be following our "unbricking a bricked wifi pineapple mkv as outlined here: https://wifipineapple.com/?flashing This avoids the use of the SD card entirely.

S3V3N Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks for the reply, I will try this. Quick question, why would the pineapple be bricked ?? This is the first time I have ever turned it on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks for the reply, I will try this. Quick question, why would the pineapple be bricked ?? This is the first time I have ever turned it on... Usually because of an error with the files written to the SD card. We have implemented some new QA procedures to stop this from happening in the newer batches. Don't worry though, this will get you up and running. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3V3N Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Yes it did, I appreciate your help!! I am going to start another post with a senario I would like to create, maybe you could take a look and let me know if this is possible.
