Wifi Pineapple MK7 can't verify device

[Alexandermss]

Hi

I have just received a brand new Wifi Pineapple MK7.

When i try to verify it, it disconnects from the connected device, and i can't connect again, unless i plug it in and out.

Thanks

You need to supply more information to get some help/advise. What are you trying to verify? How are you connected to the Mk7? What steps are you doing and where do you get stuck? Have you read any documentation about the setup process on the Hak5 docs web site? Can you refer to any step described in that documentation or the videos that are published?

Same problem here. "Verify you Device" displays in browser but button press (short or long) does nothing.

Same problem here. The setup process is impossible. 

[Deez Nuts]

The setup process comes to a screeching halt at the "Verify your device" page. See attached bitly image. https://bit.ly/3dw3mXo

It is now 10 days later and this Pineapple Mark VII remains a brick. It was shipped as a brick with no working firmware and because it is a brick no upgrading firmware is possible. Customer support is just a gaslighting circle jerk.

The setup process terminates at the "VERIFY YOUR DEVICE" page and the Pineapple WiFi network disappears at that point.

I am sending this brick back. I expect a full refund.

Hi mate

I had a similar issue but I found that my pineapple was disconnecting and connecting back to my main network which had an established internet connection. The way I got around it was forget all my other networks and try the pineapple setup again which worked. Hope that helps. 

 

cheers

I have tried everything. I have tried every different setup process as per the documentation and I simply cannot get past the VERIFY YOUR DEVICE" page.

Darren and the rest of the customer service crew send me gaslighting emails with links to the documentation.

It is refund time. Sending the brick back

Maybe you are not powering it right.

[spudgunman]

via a raspberry pi brick at 3+ amp?

I also plug it into my usb C and it seems to boot up wifi shows up?

I mean.. unless this is part of some hacking social exercise?

 

I tried zinc and copper plates but this isn't a REAL pineapple 🙂

[Irukandji]

I haven't personally got the newst one yet.

But you could try the usb flash setup.

[spudgunman]

not sure that will do much? the device is just stuck on the activation steps will this get past that. I got this thing to see if it was worth using professionally and I have given up, I should have read the documentation on this and these forms before grabbing one.

[Irukandji]

Maybe.

This seems like you're doing either one of two things:

1) Simply not pressing the button in deep enough. Make sure to press it firmly, past the audible click.

2) You're attempting to setup over WiFi but you're no longer connected to it. 

[spudgunman]

so pressing it till it makes a "click" is or is not good? I pressed it till it clicked, now what.

Same here:

1. Plug in device
2. Wait while led stops blinking and turns stable
3. Connect to pineapple AP
4. Open http://172.16.42.1:1471
5. Select "Verify you Device"
6. Hold button for a short period - nothing happens
7. Hold for longer period (5 seconds)
8. Led turns off, phone loses AP connection
9. Led turns on - without flickering
10. Phone doesn't detect AP

Let me know if I can provide any debug info (postal-service-refund-hustle is the last thing I want to do).

From above..👆 I feeling more and more that I need to buy a new pineapple. But I'm waiting for the bloody adaptor to come out.

Are steps 6 and 7 done in the same try/sequence? Pressing it short in step 6 will disable radios, that's why the wireless connection is lost. If you do step 7 and press it for a longer period of time doesn't matter since WiFi is disabled in step 6. You need to skip step 6 if you intend to use WiFi.

[vasjaj]

Managed to fix my problem:

1. sudo unmount /dev/sdc
2. sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdc
3. curl https://storage.googleapis.com/hak5-dl.appspot.com/wifipineapplemk7/firmwares/1.0.2-stable/upgrade-1.0.2.bin >> /(usb stick path)/upgrade-1.0.2.bin
4. sha256sum upgrade-1.0.2.bin - 1e894cde25272875f08b45041ff3057adf526306a9f1e48929acfbdec7085ccc
5. Create config.txt with unchanged config from https://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360053346334-Setup-Basics
6. Insert usb stick into device
7. Connect device to Mac usb-c port
8. Led blinking
9. Led stable
10. Connect to wifi AP
11. 172.16.42.1:1471
12. “Being setup”
13. “Awaiting verification”
14. Press 1 second - nothing happens
15. Press for longer period (about 4 seconds)
16. Everything works


p.s. there is no Latvia in country selection 🙂

That's probably was my case, but still - short click didn't work. Anyway, thank you for your answer, everything works fine.

Yes. ☺️

just FYI:

my setup failed twice because I used colons instead of hyphens in between the mac addresses

3rd time I realized I'm an idiot and it worked
