You seem to be uploading the wrong firmware via the recovery interface. You need to use a recovery firmware. Once you have recovered your device, you will need to upgrade to the latest firmware manually. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macninja Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I tried to follow the instructions in the guide. 1. The firmware name doesn't match the guide. The guide states it will be called factory-1.2.0.bin. The name of the file download is mk5_factory.bin. 2. The md5 hash doesn't match. The guide states it will be 8f684011ad40ca601cf159cd3381f7e0. The hash of the file downloaded is 96df5ccc388bd86b40a122c546adf687. 3. After the recovery page says it was success full. The pineapple still only flashes Blue. I have tried renaming the update file update.bin and creating a update.bin.md5 file. No success. I have tried with SD card in either FAT or ext4 format. Both MBR partitioned. Multiple cards. 1. I have tried with setting the DIP with to 00000 first, then inserting SD. 2. Inserting SD then DIP switch. Then reboot. 3. Turn off. Then DIP switch, then SD. Then turn on. None of these change anything. Still Constant Green. Flashing Blue. Periodically Flashing Yellow and Constant Red. The Client gets a self assigned IP. But after 5 sec it goes back to constant Green and flashing Blue. Is there a step I’m missing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necoreitor Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I have the same problem I don´t think the problem is one step missing. I don´t know if the firmware is good. Can you help us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry99705 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm getting the same md5 when I check the file as Macninja with the downloaded firmware from the how-to. Not sure if the file has been updated or corrupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kottfars Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I have the exact same symptoms on my Pineapple, and have tried both the same factory image as Macninja talks about and a old 1.2 version. Sometimes I got telnet access after the firmware flashing before rebooting. But wasn't able to activate the ssh access to do a manual update. Don't know what to do now.. Does anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
