Strange Error In Miner

[thierry4wd]

thanks, i have other methode for unpacking working with succes... i'm interessed by your methode for repack !

is possible you details all command for repack all ? So , the signature is not needed, just run miner with sdcard before, and after flash any firmware you want

[thierry4wd]

I have succes repacked firmware with my modified files ! but ... problem ...

i have boot my miner by SD card (contain MP Test firmware for allow install any firmware you want) ... i flash my repacked firmware, but "CANNOT VERIFY FW!!!" ...

Any idea ? i have just repacked uramdisk.image.gz files by your methode with succes on linux

I noticed some files that seem to be related to flash unlocking and nand dump in the miner I wonder if they could be of some use pulling the FW.

Quite interested in what the flash_otp_info  and flash_otp_dump are used for

When checking some of them for there functions I have included below.

Code:

Usage: flash_otp_info [ -f | -u ] <device>

Code:

root@Satoshi1:/usr/sbin# ./flash_unlock
Usage: flash_unlock <mtd device> [offset] [block count]

If offset is not specified, it defaults to 0.
If block count is not specified, it defaults to all blocks.

Code:

root@Satoshi1:/usr/sbin# ./nandtest
usage: nandtest [OPTIONS] <device>

  -h, --help           Display this help output
  -m, --markbad        Mark blocks bad if they appear so
  -s, --seed           Supply random seed
  -p, --passes         Number of passes
  -o, --offset         Start offset on flash
  -l, --length         Length of flash to test
  -k, --keep           Restore existing contents after test
root@Satoshi1:/usr/sbin#

there also seems to be a way to dump the eeprom and i2c from the miner I wonder if these files are supposed to be in the miner of if they were left there when they made the V9's.

If anyone know's there use please do let me know I had a spell of dumping nand's from XBOX360s back in the day so would be interested to know more about doing this in the miner.

You managed get it to work?

Have you run into any issues or running fine?

[thierry4wd]

i have some problem ...

i have take this command "dd if=initramfs.bin.SD of=initramfs.gz bs=1 skip=64" and modifi this for compatibilité on "bitmain" firmware, extract, mount, modify permission for edit files, rebuild all files ok !

So, repack all files on flashable files "***.TAR.GZ", but not work ... i have needed modify runme.sh files for compatibility and force miner to flash all files !

I found a bunch of files in the miner I posted above I have a feeling they could be used when flashing the machine I am curious if anyone know's what they are used for and if there supposed to be left on the miner?

If someone has a S9 or other miner they could check to see if those too come packed with the above file.

[thierry4wd]

i have verified on my S9 (full unlocked with stock firmware 2019), and contain all this files to

i thinks the files are not importance lol
