Lup1n Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 A friend gave me his pineapple wifi mark 7 with a fault, for some reason it doesn't boot, if it goes into recovery mode, but upload the firmware, it doesn't do anything, What he could do is from UART with a zero flipper and the PuTTY program, put it in recovery mode (I think) and canceling it, he starts the pineapple boot making it work well, I don't know what baud it uses, I tried several like 57600 and nothing Is there a way to fix this problem? He opened a ticket and they gave him another one but I would like to fix this. I was thinking maybe installing the firmware directly to the winbond chip that comes with spi but I think this is more related to the boot loader, although I don't know.

DramaKing Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 If flashing the recovery firmware doesn't work according to the official process, I would call the hardware defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't do that "just like that" if they think it's possible to fix the issue the user/owner is facing. 5 hours ago, Lup1n said: I don't know what baud it uses You could simply ask your friend since he was successful in connecting to it using serial. But, anyway... serial access for the Mk7 uses 57600 bps, 8N1, no flow control (h/w or s/w) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lup1n Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Hey Dark_pyrro, Thanks for the data, I was able to connect via uart and start, I'll tell you what I do, I choose option 2 "Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP." I give everything YES, and when it is looking for the file I cancel it with control + C, at that moment it begins to decompress the kernel and starts me with the configuration I had and the packages I downloaded, Now for some reason the pineapple does not start unless I disconnect the cable from the RX pin of the pineapple, I am using a buspirate 5, before it worked for me, now it doesn't want to and when I see that the blue light turns on it still doesn't show me anything, I tried other TTL that didn't work for me and it worked only once and now it doesn't. any ideas?
