Hey, I thought about it...and you know what? It is fair to pay for knowledge. More than for services. I'm not rich (otherwise I would buy the actual product with closed eyes!) but considering that the price of two boxes (mine and the value given to you) is still lower than the actual pineapple, it is good for me. My sincere congratulations, P.S: I'm not stupid, and I have several tools including uart, but not very accustomed with the guts of linux and compiling. I only scratch the surface, but on a regular basis. I couldn't figure out what to do with the files in picture, for example. They are needed for compiling an old version (2.4.2 as you correctly pointed out) by @bugsysundayTHOT, but I couldn't make it. Unfortunately I need a guide, being an apprentice. It seems to me I need to learn how to build a buildroot, and have no clue of what an SDK and imagebuilder are, or how to include patches and kernels. |
In my fucking country it became quite expensive to bring hardware even from China... I'll tell you how anyway.
Surely you have to use WinMerge or some similar tool. Keep in mind that making a port takes a lot of time and a lot of work. |
Firmware-mod-kit by brianpow. Got it. Question: do I still need to make a 19.07.2 openwrt image with "make" and buildroot? ...still trying to interpret your indications, maybe. I'll have some attempts at it. I'll keep you informed, if it doesn't annoy you. And about shopping merch from your Country...well...you totally deserve an AR300M to tinker with. I would be proud to send you one, flashed by me with a 2.7.0 pineapple fw, once I manage to make it. My name is Gabriel, and I'm glad to know you. My pleasure. May you have a gorgeous life, xchwarze! |
@xchwarze, just for a confrontation: FMK: Old-extract.sh yourfw Tried many forks of the original FMK, as it seems outdated. Now on the kali fork, but Any ideazzzz? 🤦♂️ EDIT: found this tip Will try that and report. Regards, |
mmm try that:
and use like this:

New episode of "Suchanoob on the conquer of None". I succeded installing and using FMK, but it refuses to extract both your normal and optimized .bin Maybe this is caused by ubi? What is ubi? Scanning firmware... Scan Time: 2020-11-16 01:30:39 DECIMAL HEXADECIMAL DESCRIPTION22 0x16 HTML document header Extracting 0 bytes of header image at offset 0 (facepalm) P.S: if you feel like you what to keep teaching and helping me, is there a place to talk about these matters? Dunno, like a forum, or even a personal email? You can find me as "beplastik", on the gmail address. |
But still, I think all problems are related to a very, very long list of "ftruncate" errors during the preliminary make of FMK. This bloody python is always making huge problems to me. I run (with positive result) "deps.sh" in src/binwalk, but nonetheless I have a lot of errors during make. Hundreds of errors like this one: mksquashfs.c: In function ‘write_file_blocks’: |
maybe you dont have installed squashfs what OS are you using? |
Illustrius xchwarze, thanks for answering. Squashfs is correctly installed. I know this is getting ridiculous...but I'm willing to learn. Yet, the learning curve is quite steep. I won't fall in frustration though. I know there's a lot to do, and I'm only getting the needed tools to begin. |
Dear @xchwarze, I finally extracted all files from your optimized fw. Do you think the optimizations will apply on the AR300M as well? But mainly, now that I have extracted all files, what do I select precisely?
Could you explain me this step?
I do! And I can't say how much admiration I have toward people like you. It's a sort of modern craftmanship. It takes a very long time, and most of time people don't value it correctly. So, take care of yourself, and take my compliments! Hope to hear from you soon, P.S: do you have a profile on openwrt forum? |
Dear xchwarze, as I mentioned earlier I extracted all needed from your firmware...could you please detail a little more what are the bits I have to merge? I have all ready and working. I only need a little tip on what to merge together. It would be very very useful to me and all people trying to do the same port of your excellent work! Happy Christmas, as possible in these days! |
Hello! A tiny 2021 advice, so that I can begin this year with an unusual sense of satisfaction? 😂😂😂 |
Hello! Basically you have to merge your build with the rootfs folder of fmk. |
I know how to patch the pineapd on newest version! |
Are you saying you have this ported across to the ar300M? |
If you manage to port this could you please share your work on here also? I, Like you, have been looking for this for months however I am not inclined to the same degree of "programming" as you. |
Hello Tesla, I will surely share the endeavours. As you can clearly see from the previous posts, this is all hugely thanks to xchwarze's help. If I manage running a working and recent PineAP I won't miss to alert you all. |
yes |
That would be useful too, 4dvn! |
Hello @4dvn, I'm here asking for anyone's help. @xchwarze , I am quite embarassed. You are very generous telling me what to do, but I lack the fundamental knowledge, and I might brick the box, merging and damaging the rootfs folder with inappropriate files from the owrt fw. I understand, but only in theory. In practice I should know precisely what I'm doing, but I don't. The rootfs folders are very similar, but what precisely gives support for the AR300M? I just don't know. There are a lot of subfolders in rootfs, and I can't target what to merge. @4dvn, do you have a firmware for AR300M? Could you share it with us please? I made a fork of your fork, and invited you to collaborate in it. If you can help, having time and knowledge, I would be very grateful. |
for build a custom firmware use this toolset https://github.com/xchwarze/wifi-pineapple-cloner |
@brightplastik I think the gl-ar750s is the correct hardware for what you wanted to do. Even quite superior to the original. |
I totally agree with you. |
Hello, sorry for opening an issue, but I hope this will make us communicate.
Since months I'm looking for a way to build an up to date firmware for the GL-AR300M.
A you stated, the last known version of pineapple fw is 2.4.2, and I can't even say if it works or not.
Your repo here looks very promising!
Could you teach me how to port the latest version of pineapple firmware to the AR300M?
I think you're my only chance. The community is quite chaotic about these ports. Yours looks like the most systematic I encountered, but I have a different model to work with.
I congratulate for your excellent up to date work, and hope to learn how to replicate this excellence on another model.
