odeon Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) trying to update my pvii with the new improved 2.0 ( nice work everyone). but not having much luck. I'm connected to the pvii using the USB c on linux mint 20.2 and using the web browser to go to 172.16.1.42:1471. Logged in and hooked the pi up to a wireless ap. check the connection by looking at the latest news. This all works fine. I go to software settings / update and click on the button. I get the Your WiFi Pineapple is updating to 2.0.0-stable. The page will automatically refresh when the update is complete. and the progress indicator which has been going for 4 hours now. The wifi connection is 100mb /s d/l BUT what I don't get is the blue/red flashing firmware led indicator!!!! the light just stays blue. How do I know it's doing something please? ALSO how long should this take? thanks for ANY help. Edited July 12, 2022 by odeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaKing Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I'm having this issue, too. Getting a flashing blue light, but the Pineapple hasn't reconnected to the network yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaintshootinmis Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 @DramaKing wish I'd saw this about...15 minutes ago. Same situation. Started auto-update from inside the pineapple dashboard. Got the red and blue flashing, now eternal flashing blue. Can't get a dashboard when I connect to the new default SSID. Unplugging and replugging just takes me back to the blue fast flashing LED of eternium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution odeon Posted July 13, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted July 13, 2022 @jholbrookftl was kind enough to sort this out for me using the below. All hail @jholbrookftl a good person in a storm. f jholbrookftl Replied: Monday at 09:05 PM I have been stuck in the loop before. I believe the only way I was able to get out of it was to download the firmware and update it over the cable. I believe I had an wireless AC adapter in it that I took out for the update as well. Firmware is here: https://downloads.hak5.org/pineapple/mk7 Update instructions here: https://docs.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple-6th-gen-nano-tetra/faq-troubleshooting/manual-firmware-installation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaKing Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 For me, I realized that the Pineapple does not do an in-place upgrade. I don't think I lost anything important, but everything was wiped, and I had to redo setup from the default management AP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
