cheeto Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hey guys, Not sure, but my MKV is dead. It all started when i couldn't log in with via wifi. Then i tried logging in with lan, and i did but the wifi part wasn't working.... Furthermore, the death infusion was in some kind of loop. It was auto-starting and when i pressed "stop" it would say "sleeping" or something like that. OK making a long story short i re-flashed the latest firmware 2.40 and never could get it to work after that. (i let it flash for approx 25 min before unplugging the thing.) Right now I have the lan connection hooked up and I'm getting a flashing BLUE LIGHT and a steady green light. and I can't access: http://172.16.42.1:1471/ Any suggestions? thanks for reading guys!

Foxtrot Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Did you put your DIP Switches back into the normal position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeto Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Actually never touched the dip switches. I know it supposed to ask me to flip them a certain way while installing the firmware but I didn't even get to that point. :( At this moment all dip switches are UP and I can't access my MKV. :( Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeto Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Well, after looking around the forum, it seemed like my mkv 5 was bricked. Thanks to ZaraByte's tutorial: https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/33303-howto-wifi-pineapple-mark-v-how-to-unbrick/ along with this updated tutorial: https://www.wifipineapple.com/?flashing I was able to revive my MKV. I hope this could help someone else in the same boat. I still am not 100% what caused it to brick like that. Perhaps it's way i had to shut it off. A practical infusion could be a simple OFF switch or button that kills all the process taking place in order to make a safe turn off. Thanks guys!

sud0nick Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 You can also go to the Configuration infusion, under the Advanced Tab, and enter poweroff or halt before unplugging it. That's as close as you'll ever get to shutting down the Pineapple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeto Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 @sud0nick, That is a VERY GOOD TIP! I went ahead and tried it and I guess it closed all the running infusions because I couldn't even log onto the mkv without having to reboot. That's was exactly what I was looking for. I guess this might actually avoid me from bricking it again. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
