HIVEOS Client firmware on S9k Antminers (?)

[BillGeo]

I know those are old miners, but nevertheless I'm trying to put my old S9k miners on my HIVE "account".

The miners have signature-locked firmwares from the factory (Jul 28 2019) and they give me a
"Installer Not Signtured!!!" error when trying to flash the "S9k-stock+client-20190929.tar.gz" firmware from Hive.

Anyone know where to find an old SD roll-back firmware I could flash with the SD-card technique so I
can finally go on with then flashing the HIVE client firmware?

Failing that, is there a signed alternative firmware for the S9k that will let me at least have access to voltages/clocks?

Thanks in advance guys...

Try the SD card image from Bitmain you can find it here https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Flashing%20SD%20card%20with%20image

I do not know if it can disable signature check but try it first.
If it doesn't work try the firmware provided from this link below

Then flash it again with HiveOS. Let see if it will work.

would Your OS work on S9SE?

I think it will not work because the S9se have different control board if your purpose is to unlock it try to flash it with a k5 image recovery through an SD card.
Check them here https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Flashing%20SD%20card%20with%20image

Then you can start flashing it with different OS like HiveOS or Awesomeminer.

With very lot of respect, if i say process, i also check it and tested, so, "17 series unlocker" work perfectly with S9K / S9SE ...

OF CORSE , after unlock you need install CORRECT firmware ! so , only good model ...

I am having No luck finding a custom firmware for S9SE anyone out there who can help please I know it's an older model I have currently 4 I just need a bit more control over the setting that the original firmware offers. The Major players like Hives/Awsomemines..ect don't have it.

Same here I can't find any custom or modified firmware you can only have more control of this model if you can enable or unlock SSH there are some few SSH commands from s9 that support s9se/k.

Also, check this link below related to hidden settings for fan speed control and low power mode(LPM).

Make sure to contact the author first if someone already tested it without any issue. The thread is related to s9k but according to the author the firmware works on s9se and I do not know if LPM will work on s9se but you can try.
