I say it is "bricked" because it is basically useless at the moment. It stays in a constant reboot cycle. It never starts mining before it reboots, but I can get to the various web pages for about 1 minute. I believe I have time to download firmware to it before it reboots, but don't have the right firmware file. All I have and can seem to get is for an E9+. I have read through all the posts here and it seems the only firmware ever discussed is for the E9+, never the E9. Any idea where to get it? There is obviously no support forthcoming from the a$$holes at eBit.

Thanks

Something else must be wrong as the latest update works for both the regular e9 and the e9+ - an important thing to keep in mind as I sold mine, and then had it returned as it would not connect or begin mining is that baidu thing brought up early on in the thread. - I believe that if it "thinks" you are mining from a location that was not the original purchaser's location (even if you ARE that person) it kills it. so FIRST try to put that address in your hosts file (can't remember it now) and 127.0.0.1 on the computer that you are using to reach the web interface.. THEN even if it is in chinese switch to the other bank, hard reset (shutdown psu) then after getting it back up, see if it still refuses to connect to the internet. Not 100% sure on how to trick it into thinking it was in the original location if that is what it needs, but I'm pretty sure it gets location data from the pc you are connecting with not the miner.

disclaimer: I'm not truly clear on if this will work, I only know that when the guy mailed back the miner it worked on my end. the rest is my guess as to what is going on. If it doesn't work, holler at me and I'll see if I can't figure out some other way.

secondary would be to see if you can't get someone who has worked out firmware that let's them in to ssh - I'm sure a few people somewhere have copies. (side note if anyone has one with xnsub and ssh access I'm looking hehe.)

So basically selling is questionable, which is pure loss.

Somebody sold me a gimpy 9t on ebag, it works sort of, pretty sure it's not location related. It might even be a 6.5t, in which case it's running fine. Highest I've seen it go was 7Ts for a whole day once, but that could be normal fluctuations. You could sell yours, but if you don't disclose the problems you're probably screwing somebody somewhere.
