SpudITM Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I have the Wifi Pineapple MK VII. I When I log in to the admin interface, it says the firmware version is 1.0.2, as does the welcome text when I SSH into he device. The pineapple web UI says that I am on the latest version, which is not the case. I tried the manual update process, scp the bin file onto the pinepple and install using: sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/upgrade.bin I get this message: Image metadata not found Use sysupgrade -F to override this check when downgrading or flashing to vendor firmware Image check failed. What should I do to proceed and upgrade the Wifi Pineapple? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irukandji Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Have you followed the instructions on https://help.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple/ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpudITM Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 First attempt was to connect to the pineapple (USB C, and wifi options were both used), then, go into settings in the HTML UI and check for updates. It always shows me at 1.0.2 and states that there are no updates available. Given the 1.1.1 online, that seems to be incorrect. I then followed these instructions: https://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/1260802858250-Firmware-Upgrade-via-USB Absolutely nothing happens with those instructions, with an 8GB USB, exFAT formatted, with only that 1.1.1 bin file as downloaded, including checking the hash. Not sure why it cannot find the firmware update online, or on the USB stick. There is an option in the HTML UI to re-apply the existing firmware. Is this worth a try in case it is corrupted somehow?

SpudITM Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Further to this, I think there is something going on with this pineapple. I turn it on, and for a short period, I can log in to the HTML UI. After a few minutes, the HTML UI basically stops working. I can browse around all of the screens, but no actual data is show, and no buttons work. I reboot the pineapple, and again, only a few minutes of HTML UI is allowed. Any way to recover from this?

dark_pyrro Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I would probably do the firmware recovery procedure and start from there. If that wouldn't work, I would place a support ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
