Re: Antminer R4 - dead hash board? Shitty design, read before you send it back
Have you tried this? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1597639.msg18267781#msg18267781
EDIT: I can confirm that it resets a R4 batch-6 back to BMiner v1.0 file system date Tue Aug 9 21:00:51 CST 2016.
It also resets all pool info back to Factory so you will have to re-enter it.
Good bit is: Auto-tune is GONE! IT GIVES BACK FREQ and FAN SPEED CONTROL!
To do:
Power off miner
Press and hold in the IP REPORTER button.
While holding the button in, turn ON the miner power
Continue to hold in button for 5-7 sec and release
Wait a few min an you should be able to re-enter your pool info.
Enjoy!
Caveat: Since it runs BOTH boards at the same freq, if one is er, weak, you would have to downclock the good one until the weak one is happy....
Or apply the correct R4 update and get Auto-tune back...

Thanks for this - Do you know if this technique works with the most recent firmware? Other comments suggested that the newest versions might disable that reset option. (Does anyone here even still have an R4 other than the most recent post about hairdryer revival method?)
