ToxicAtomicDog Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The upgrade started just fine, going from flashing green to alternating red/blue to solid blue. That's where is stopped for over an hour. Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToxicAtomicDog Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 The is not network connection active while in this mode. Cannot ssh into it. I have tried powering it down, removing the USB drive and powering up again. It seems to be working but still running version 2.0. Next thing I've tried is reformat_usb. This causes the PS to reboot and get stuck with the light flashing green, remember the USB drive is still plugged in. Once again powering down, remove USB and boot again, still version 2.

Irukandji Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Did you follow the instructions on this Page? Quote To install the latest firmware: Download the upgrade file. Make sure that the filename is upgrade-version.bin (where version is the firmware version, e.g. 1.2) and check that the SHA-256 sum matches. Copy the upgrade file to the root of an NTFS or EXT4 formatted USB flash drive. Do not rename, unpack or otherwise alter this file. Plug the USB drive into the powered-off Packet Squirrel Flip the Packet Squirrel payload select switch to Arming mode (far right, closest to the USB flash drive) Power on the Packet Squirrel from a reliable USB power source. This process takes 5-10 minutes and will be indicated by a series of LED lights. Do not power-off or otherwise interrupt the device until the flashing process completes. During the firmware flashing process, the LED will indicate the following states: Green flashing – booting up Red/Blue alternating – beginning firmware flash Solid Red or Blue – firmware flash in progress Green flashing – rebooting Blue flashing – upgrade complete, arming mode ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke776 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Confirm the file system type on your USB - NTFS or EXT4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I verified the SHA256 checksum with the file on the USB drive. The update started OK up until the solid blue light. It went off just a few minutes after starting the boot process and now the light flashes dim white every 9 seconds or so. From starting boot up until now has been 30 minutes.

luke776 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Are you sure the switch is all the way closest to the USB thumb drive port? Are you able to login to the squirrel from the LAN side and run a uname -a to see what version is running now? Is it not coming up to your C2 Cloud server after you load the device.config into /etc? Was it working before on C2 Cloud or as a standalone device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0N3z Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 @Foxtrot Im having the same issue. After upgrading to 3.0, Im getting shotty results. Sometimes it will connect in arming mode and other times it wont. TCPdump payload is not working or giving results. Is there any sort of debug I could do to help you guys out with this?

ToxicAtomicDog Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 I found another thread that suggested the WiFi Pineapple manual upgrade method, https://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360025819673-Manual-Firmware-Installation, and it worked.

Darren Kitchen Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 For anyone facing this issue - I recommend following these two steps for recovery and upgrade to v3.1 - which includes a few bug fixes/enhancements. 1. Firmware Recoveryhttps://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360010554753-How-do-I-reset-the-device-or-recover-its-firmware- 2. Manual Upgradehttps://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360034848353-Manual-Upgrade Also - with all Hak5 gear that loads payloads from USB it's important that the drive is formatted with a single partition. Some USB flash disks (often Sandisk) ship with no partition table, rather the entire device formatted with a file system. Your systems disk utility should provide insight on this front.
