Hi All

As per the title, I upgraded an Antminer S7 to the latest firmware and it never came backup (1 of 2 so def not a bad download). I have checked my DHCP Server for new IP addresses, no suck luck. There was 100% no power issues during the upgrade as the miner is in my works server room and I would have heard alot about it if there had been, the only thing that might have done it was switching browser tabs during the upload but I don't think so. The green light and fans never come on.... help!!

Any advice on how to recover this would be amazing, I know the S7 uses a beaglebone and the other equipment I have the uses it (kncminers) can be reflashed from an SD card but I don't know the S7 will.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Too late you ran an antminer firmware upgrade.

and you bricked it.

I have written over and over and over and over

never never never never never never do a bitmaintech firmware upgrade.

While I want to yell and scream at you @#$%%$ ... for hours on end.
Since you are number 20 or so to do the I bricked my controller while doing an upgrade of firmware. ENOUGH Grin

You have a few options.
Do you have a second s-7?
If you do you can run two off 1 controller.
While you wait for a RMA on the controller you bricked.

You can go to the market here and see if someone is selling one.
