Ub3rZ4cH Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I forgot about my MK5 and recently found it the SD card was missing so I tried to put a .bin on it and realised that wasn't going to work. I followed the steps to get into the recovery mode. I can successfully connect to the interface, problem is when I select the .bin no matter what one I use it says "update failed, make sure you're using the correct firmeware" links on this forum to the factory firmware are 404 but at resources >> downloads >> MK5 there is all the version releases. So is there something I am doing wrong or these are just updates and not correct for flashing the factory f/w for recovery ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macninja Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I have been trying this guide. To no great success. I still get only constant Green and flashing Blue. No DHCP. When I download the factory file its md5 doest match the hash in the file $ md5 mk5_factory.bin MD5 (mk5_factory.bin) = 96df5ccc388bd86b40a122c546adf687 I get periodically a blinking yellow the constant Red. My device gets a self assigned IP but then it goes back to blue and the device says not connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get to the reset your password page sometimes. but when I set a PW it does nothing. It is like its not accepting the PW , it just take me through the same reset process of turning the radios off w/ dip switches. I have also followed this guys tut on how to unbrick. with no success. you can log into my machine if you want and and ill plug/unplug pwr on wifi pinnap. any help would be greatly appreciated Please Help.

Foxtrot Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 If you are getting constant flashing lights after you set the password, you need to set the DIP switches back to the defaults after resetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hak 5 ish Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 i have set the dip switches back. and hit continue and the wifi pineapple logo just flashes and red,blue,amber flashing too. when i reset it keeps throwing me on a loop it doesn't accept my pw. i cant get to the main screen with tile for infusions etc. just pw rest loop. Also, the dip switch diagram is a lil misleading as it shows the dip switches should all be set to down with numbers on top. is that correct or is it upside down?

Hak 5 ish Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Do you think the Firmware Upgrade is worth it or The 2.4.0 version is fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
