Manual Firmware Installation

For users who wish to manually flash firmware from the command line, rather than from the over-the-air upgrade process via the Advanced menu of the web interface, please follow these instructions:

1. Download the latest WiFi Pineapple firmware for your device type from https://downloads.hak5.org/pineapple

2. Validate the SHA256 sum of the downloaded upgrade.bin file

   sha256sum upgrade-x.x.x.bin

3. Upload the upgrade.bin to the /tmp/ directory on the WiFi Pineapple

   scp upgrade-x.x.x.bin [email protected]:/tmp/

4. SSH to the WiFi Pineapple

   ssh [email protected]

5. Validate the SHA256 sum of the upgrade.bin file uploaded to the WiFi Pineapple

   sha256sum /tmp/upgrade-x.x.x.bin

6. Disable any PineAP services or modules via the Web Interface

7. Use the sysupgrade command to flash the upgrade.bin file

   sysupgrade -n /tmp/upgrade-x.x.x.bin

8. Wait approximately 5 minutes as the firmware flashes. Per usual DO NOT disconnect power during this process.
