That's the market, not the network. Actual earned ETH per day hasn't dropped very much because the network was already huge and the E3 is no more efficient than midline gpus. ETH has dropped significantly; if you're not cashing out daily, it makes little difference unless the market doesn't recover.

Hello!
What is Status "CC" and "BB"? What it means?

[NeroValentine]

Can anybody help me please? Why does my E3 not work at full capacity? I attached the photo. I do not understand the error "BB".  https://ibb.co/cdjfYK

BB is a new one on me, it's usually 00 or XX with antminers. Reboot and see if that fixes it, if not I suggest contact Bitmain's support.

What is different code?? What it means?
I connect to miningpoolhub and 2 out of 5 my miners show this error, and the remaining 3 work properly. Technical support bitmain did not offer me to create a ticket and send the miner back, but offered to connect to antpool. Could this be the solution to my problem?

I use Nanopool... one E3 works fine ... other have got some problems....

This is the mail that i send with Bitmain:

Good morning, i open this ticket because i think that my miner Antminer E3 first batch that arrived Yesterday 17/07/2018 have some problems.... after 10/20 minutes of working ( i send you the history of starting procedure of the miner) one chain don't work.....

If you see in the photo (E3 2) after about two minutes of working , the chain 12 don't recognise temperature pcb, temperature chip and hashrate is too low compared to other chain but asic status seems correct.

After 1 minute from the previus screenshot in the photo E3 3 the asic status of chain 12 is CC.... the hashrate of chain 12 is lowest compared other chain temperature pcb and chip is zero.

After 20 minutes ( photo E3 5 ) of working the asic status of chain 12 is BB....

After 30 minute ( Photo E3 6) asic status return CC .

Where is the problem? Can you help me?

Thank you very much.

Hey, I got the same issue, I opened a ticket and the support told to send the faulty board to them (It was only one chain which has the BB error), now the miner is working at 130~140H/S, pictures below.
I'm trying to get a free coupon from them to compensate for the missing days without the board but I know they will give nothing  .

So bitmain support was helpful.
Here is a manual for flashing Antminer E3 via SD card:

E3 and T9+ share the same control board. Please follow these steps to upgrade the firmware:
T9+ Control Board Program Recovery
https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007577214

and load the following E3 firmware: https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Antminer%20E3

Antminer-E3-20180806.tar.gz

Althougth you upload upgrade firmware from web interface use Antminer-E3-20180806.tar.gz (without "WEB" in the name).

[Andartis]

So is upgrading the firmware only possible via SD card?
I get the same error. It does not work with either of the both files.

edit:
So basically, I draw the controlboard back, insert the prepared SD card and boot up the miner. Right? Anything else?

Here is what I did exactly:
-I formatted an 8 GB micro SD card with FAT32 and extracted the files from the SD firmware file onto it.
-I ended up with a xilinx folder, a runme.sh and a ubi_info file on the card.
-I turned off the miner disconnected the ethernet and put in the SD card in the slot. Then I set the R4 Jumper to the other position and powered the miner on.
-I waited some minutes but the lights did not flash as described.
-I also tried this procedure with disconnected hashboards.

So i set the jumper back and rebooted the unit normally with the old firmware.

[Andartis]

Hey guys,
I ordered one E3 the day it came out. Regarding Bitmain, payment was received 9th of April. And my unit is still not shipped? Really? Even batch 4 guys are going to get their units shipped soon.

Anyone from first batch, who did not get the E3 yet?

Rgeards

So not only I got my unit ridiclously late although batch 1.
Now 3 of the 9 chains are gone, seems like defective hashboard. And the rest schows status "CC". Any ideas?

[boxalex]

3 chains gone here as well.

Followed all instructions provided by the Bitmain Support page to upgrade to latest firmware with SD flashing, but i wasn't able to flash the E3 somehow even i made it step by step as suggested.

Can someone that managed the flashing through SD card make a guide/tutorial step by step? Pretty sure the Bitmain guide misses something or it would have worked out, not?

Thx in advance.

It just does not work. Even Bitmain said, it does not work. The E3 was the worst miner so far.
