Hello,

(i just added a USB key of 2GB, as /dev/sda1)

 

           Filesystem            Format     Size           Used          Available Used %Mount    Point

• /dev/mtdblock5   squashfs   19.00 MB    19.00 MB   0 B          100%     /rom
• /dev/mmcblk0     ext4            1.77 GB      40.83 MB  1.62 GB    2%       /overlay

It's rom so 100% is totally normal.

I am having the same issue here, also after doing a factory reset, If I reboot the AP, or disconect it, it will not boot, (solid red light) then I do the factory reset again, and works, only untill it reboots, again. Please help. 

Thank you.

Not that it necessarily needs to be linked to this particular issue, but how are you powering your Pineapple? Are you sure to be using a power source where 2A is provided?

Hi, yes, I  had it connected to my USB-C on my PC (only source of power) I do the whole reset and its working fine, then I reboot, or disconect it and move somewhere else and now it shows a corrupted firmware, I do the whole reset again, same scenario and same thing happen. 

could it be the hardware is bad? do I need to try a diferent version of the recovery flash? Help., 

 

Thank you Dark_pyrro for youe help. 

 

FLASH ERROR

A flash error was detected on your device.

 

It appears that your device has been flashed improperly, and will not function correctly.

Please restore your device using the recovery process documented at
https://docs.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple/faq/factory-reset-and-recovery

Remember you MUST flash the RECOVERY/STAGER FIRMWARE first before flashing the full firmware.

Probably the same issue that I commented on in this recent thread

Hi dark_pyrro, it looks like its the same issue. I am wondering what are my options with the device? I would not like to have it as a door stoper, (LOL is too light) 

 

Cheers.

It depends if it's still under warranty. I would suggest contacting support and see if it's possible to solve "business wise". I guess the issue with faulty flash storage is a bit special since it hasn't been possible to detect in an easy way up until firmware version 2.x. Meaning, you might have bought it when it was released and used it along with fw version 1.x without issues (even if the flash was faulty from start). And then when flash checks was introduced in fw 2.x, it is rendered inoperable and still it's not possible to get a warranty replacement because it's too long since it was bought (something that would be possible if the fault was possible to identify when brand new and still under warranty). All this makes the scenario a bit "special".
