Copy of PM I sent to Tim.Shao19 of Bitmaintech: Hello again Tim,
I see you have released another firmware update for the S3, the second in 6 weeks, where as S2 owners are still waiting for the firmware update you promised them over 9 weeks ago - and are still at risk from the various security threats associated with the older firmware. Why is this?
Also, your latest firmware for the S3 actually breaks the S3 - why have you not withdrawn it to fix it?
IYFTech.

Try a cold restart, if that doesn't work - try cleaning & reseating the 10 hashing boards, if that doesn't work - it's a dead/dying board  |

Don't bank on it, testing isn't going so well, especially with p2pool...... |

Try a cold restart, if that doesn't work - try cleaning & reseating the 10 hashing boards, if that doesn't work - it's a dead/dying board I made a small dust cleaning and put boards back in now it seems okay. I have one more problem with another S2, one day shuts down, After turning on about 30 seconds when starts mine shuts down, with nine cards working okay. 10 turns off. Tryed different PSU 1250W SS still the same problem. It does not matter which socket 9 cards are. It seems that one of the power supply connector does not work. I checked the main board did not find any defects.  Overclocked 9 cards to 212MHz after 5+min shuts down. Stock 196 no problem, runs 3 days already. |

Can we get our hands on the current upgraded version?? some of us dont do P2Pool so it would be good if we can try it out now.
As long as it does not turn off by itself, i believe alot of us would like to have a good at it.

This is one of the issues atm, but there are others. Nobody wants it more than me, trust me, but it's unusable in it's current state. We've waited 10 weeks, a "few more days" (?) won't hurt......  At least they are finally doing something. |

Don't worry - it's safe & a good improvement over the last version, as well as fixing the security issues. I've been running it for 8 hours now without issue, very happy with it. A few tips to ensure a successful upgrade: Uncheck the "keep settings" box when flashing - you'll have to re-enter your settings after. After logging in to 192.168.1.99 - perform a factory rest. It works with mdudes Antmonitor as an S3. I highly recommend everyone with an S2 upgrade to this firmware. Thanks Bitmain (at last) EDIT: You can see the improvements on my p2pool node here: http://iyftech.zapto.org:9332/static/graphs.html?Day (I installed the firmware just before 3 am - scroll down to the S2 graph) I'm using a queue setting of 1 atm - I'll test with 0 later today. The cgminer parameter settings are now on line 60 of the /etc/init.d/cgminer.sh file for changing the queue settings for p2pool. The hash rate is higher & the DOA/reject rate is lower with p2pool & this firmware - it's a good upgrade. Thanks to Bitmain for letting me test the betas on my node, it's good to see Bitmain still care about p2pool & it's users  |

Thanks for testing it out with p2pool too, hopefully they'll start doing more testing with their firmware & p2pool on all future releases...... Upgraded earlier & all went well - NO MORE SECURITY WORRIES!!! Hash rate has improved & DOA decreased slightly here also - excellent. There's life in the ol'S2's yet eh? |

Should we stop cgminer before upgrade or we should not to care about it and just flash new firmware? |

Looks like my flash card got corrupted when the power went out recently. Won't reboot. This happened once before but it was a long time ago so I don't remember the procedure to recover. Thanks for any help!

I guess this is the last question: is that "Reset to defaults" on System->Upgrade tab?.. |
