Do you know if there is any way to under-clock with the newer auto-tune firmware's?

How many times must this be said here...
NO!

[karlostavitch]

How many times must this be said here...
NO!

And can the firmware be downgraded on the new units?

Also no.

Good to know thanks! no pun intended...

Also no.

So the "HagssFIN hack" doesn't work on the actual models?

Well, this is an interesting find and I thought I'll share it with you.

I had a problem booting my Antminer R4 8.0 Th/s, batch 2, autotune-model.

So I went looking in here:
Bitmain.com: Three Ways to Restore Factory Settings (R4/S9/T9)
https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3957

I used the last option in the list, IP Reporter button restore.

Usage: Please power off the miner, then hold down the IP Reporter and don’t release it. At the same time, please power on the miner.
Releasing the IP Reporter after 5 seconds, the machine will automatically restore factory settings.

My miner restored with firmware Aug. 9 2016 and autotune settings were gone.
I am now suddenly able to control frequency and custom fan settings. 

This was not my original problem, but I'm happy with it.
My original problem was that the miner jammed somehow in the booting process and didn't even show up in my router ip list.

That's different!    The question as written is a big NO!

[HagssFIN]

Give me an autotune S9 and I can test it.
I've been successful with my autotune R4s with this "hack".
I now have three R4s running smootly at 8.7 Th/s.

While I agree on the 1st NO

Do you know if there is any way to under-clock with the newer auto-tune firmware's?

I disagree on the 2nd

And can the firmware be downgraded on the new units?

But maybe thats only me, splitting hairs

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Assuming you want to piss away any possible warranty coverage, sure. Do the IP reporter button trick.
Maybe it will work, maybe not. Either way you just kissed the warranty good-bye doing it without Bitmain's written permission

[HagssFIN]

It is actually one reset method officially given by Bitmain themself, so I don't see how their own advice can kiss the warranty good bye?

That is one argument a person can use if needed as it *is* posted by them. Any mention of only doing it IF instructed by them?
Knowing Bitmain I'd think there is a good chance of them trying to deny warranty if we play with it by ourselves.

Hi sorry I know its quite late for this post but is it possible to disconnect from router after setup and move the miner elsewhere where I can plug the Ethernet in the back of a pc in another room?

you connect miner through pc? antminer need ethernet cable that connect to internet, no need pc to make it work except for setting pool

Just one small notice, are "Blue letter" or "Blue links" ... Letters that are hyperlinked, supposed to take you to your site, or this thread? Because when i clicked on them, it opened this thread AGAIN, and when i clicked on little DOGE <3, it opened your site, is that mistake or its supposed to be like that?

[padrinogtr]

does anyone have the firmware files saved
its imposible to get them from bitmain

[padrinogtr]

can anyone advise here or on PM
my latest S9 just lost a board in other words it was working fine for about 24 hours then i made a psu change and it just stoped hashing. two interesting details, one, the miner detects the board but no its not hashing at all GH/S(RT) shows 0000, two, if i connect that particular board by itself it does hash, but only by itself.

any input or advice will be greatly apreciated

And here I thought it was just me. Every time I attempt to download the firmware update from earlier this year I get an error message. Anyone know how to get the files directly from bitman?

Do you know if there is any way to under-clock with the newer auto-tune firmware's?

People say no but when I change my browser adress on my autotune S9 from http://192.168.1.102/cgi-bin/minerConfiguration.cgi to http://192.168.1.102/cgi-bin/minerAdvanced.cgi  I do get a secret page where I can change my frequency.

In case I want to underclock I would not worry too much and could try the 550 setting..

But If I would like to overclock to 675 frequency, and I don't like the heat and noise it creates, how do I change it back to the original autotune setting?

Anyone tried to overclock using this trick of the hidden advanced page , and how did it work out ? And how did you get back to the autotune mode?
