I just tried it with one of my A4+ and it bricked the box. I performed the upgrade through the GUI as one normally would, but upon the automatic restart, it wouldn't come back up. Couldn't even ping the box. I walked over to the unit and saw that all lights were off on the hashoard with the fault red light on the controller. I power cycled (i figured it was safe to since it was about 30 mins since the upgrade ended) all the lights came back on as one would expect. After about 2 mins of sitting there, all the hasboard lights turned off. My guess is that the controller upgrade failed and now is corrupted.

Will need to run out and grab a tfcard from the store to see if upgrading via the slot works. for now, i'll switch all the hasboard cables over to another miner so I don't lose hashrate. Definitely hold back on the new firmware...let some guinea pigs try it for several weeks first. Don't get burned like I did.

Before this, had upgraded to 0129 with no issues and running several weeks.

this is embarrassing. turns out the IP got reset to the static 192.168.1.254. can confirm the new firmware is hashing now. i don't notice any difference though. if i find any difference, I'll report back here.
