FutureBit Apollo II Full Node not Syncing - After 3 days Stuck at ~380,000

[atomx2025]

Hello,

I reflashed the SD card on my Apollo II full node but cannot get past ~380,000 blocks. Connection status repeatedly goes on and offline. No errors, just warning when offline "warning Connection refused. Your node is not running." and when online I am connected to anywhere from 3-12/64 connections

I turned off the miner as suggested online, but still not progressing.

Submitted a request online with Futurebit 3 days ago with no response.

Anyone have any suggestions for what may be causing this?

Try updating the unit first to do that, just go to your unit's IP on the browser, then go to settings or a shutdown icon look-alike on the top right under version just click the version.
Wait for it, if it shows a new version is available, don't close it, it will automatically update to the most recent version.

If it's already using the latest version, then you're other option is to try SD card flashing, the guide on how to flash the SD card can be found here https://www.futurebit.io/apollo-btc-support
Make sure to backup all files first from SD card before flashing it.

I'm having the same issues you are, except currently, it won't get past block 539K. I've reflashed the SD card several times, the connections move between 1-13/64 and turning it off and on, &/or rebooting it does nothing. Customer service is ridiculously slow at responding! I received this miner almost 3 weeks ago and I am beyond annoyed.

Reflashing the SD card worked. Thank you!

Also getting a new hi quality flash card may work as flash cards are not the best media in general.
