Yes, the first thing I tried. When I install it, after it's done, it returns an error page from the cgi-bin that says "incorrect firmware". Tried all versions on the Bitmain site. Apparently, whatever they did, doesn't allow me to overwrite what they put in.

The Kernel version is this.. obviously the wrong one. I need to get in there and completely overwrite the firmware. Start from scratch:

"Kernel Version   Linux 3.14.0-xilinx-gb190cb0-dirty #57 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 9 14:49:22 CST 2016"

Need to get in there and get it back to factory.

Anyone know if I can load it from the SD card and make it work?

Again, anyone who knows how to SSH into it and reload the factory firmware (and software?), I'll pay to get it done.

Thanks in advance.

I assume you can log onto the device? Unless there is a custom firmware installed, you should be able to upgrade the new firmware. And then reset to factory default. If you are not able to do that, then the device has been compromised to a level higher than you can access  yourself and you will need to return it, there is nothing else you can do.
