Pineapple Mark 7 firmware issue

[M4X]

Hello everyone, I am having an issue with my pineapple, a few issues actually but let’s start with my first issue.

1. When I plug my Pineapple on my laptop (windows 11) it gets detected in my device manager as the axis ax…. adapter but with a yellow exclamation point (warming sign). Now when I go to my network connection the pineapple isn’t listed in there, I tried to uninstall in the device manager and reinstall the driver but it did not change anything.

2. Moving on past question #1, I am able to connect to the http://172.16.42.1:1471 and the login appears for a fraction of a second then says there is an issue with my firmware that I need to flash it. Sometimes the page for the setup appears but when I click Begin Setup then the next page appears to select usb or wifi setup and if I click anything on the page it freezes and doesn’t load anything. 

Has anyone encountered one of these issues before? Is there a way to flash it directly from my laptop instead of using the web interface? 
 

Any help is appreciated, I will be trying a few more things today.

 

Thanks

What USB cable are you using when connecting the Pineapple to the computer? The one that came with the Pineapple or something else? Tried different USB cables? Tried different USB ports on the computer (or other computers)?

Hey dark_pyrro, thanks for the quick reply! For usb cables, I tried the one that came with it, one that charges phones faster, one that goes from usb-c to usb-a but it is not a usb cable issue. I got it figured out, it’s flashing the firmware to the recovery one as we speak, then I’ll update to the latest version.

How I resolved it?

Hopefully this thread will help others having these issues. I read a thread in this forum that helped me resolve the issue. Using Kali (or any other linux) in a VM, I simply followed the steps found in the link (infosecwriteups) posted by one of the members.
