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.
