Bondidumpster Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi All I purchased a mark iv secondhand and over a period of a few days managed to get it working and then I bricked it. First Session Powered on Mark IV , couldnt connect Second Session Managed to connect - discovered that pineapple had later version of firmware on it - hence why 172.16.42.1 didnt work but 172.16.42.1:1471 did Third Session Had pineapple working and configured for internet sharing - tested via additional laptop connecting to it Fourth Session Attempted to connect USB flashdrive tried multiple attempts - followed tutorials including reformating usb several times Fifth session checked firmware online ( first successful attempt) and accessing pineapple bar firmware check showed it was uptodate attempted again to mount usb - believed that firmware was corrupt re usb as pineapple would stall with usb connected commenced firmware upgrade - suspect was impatient - after upgrading twice - pineapple appears to be bricked lessons learnt - 1) undertake more research 2) be more paticent 3) have the correct power supplies and leads in order to unbrick Mark IV a) do more research on unbricking b) get correct firmware c) have necessary software installed d) have correct power supply available - do not use usb - power adapter cable ( max 100ma) e) have correct comms gear re comms gear - triple check connections to use - must not connect power re attempting to install usb - only do so with plug pack connected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
