i have got the same problem with my batch 3 mini.
Once i install an other firmware the temperature sensors dont seem to work and the fans always spin on 100%.
Does anyone have the same problem and does anyone have a solution?
Thx!
I have released a fix for fan and temp issues on batch 3 and 4 units. There is a thread here about it. It does overclock and all the good stuff runs on batch1-4 minis
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5073285.new#newchipless, correct me if I'm misspeaking, but don't batch3 units work just fine with batch1 firmware? Is your change not specific to batch4 otherwise?

Jason,
Not all batch 3 units work properly with the batch 1 firmware a few later releases of the batch 3 have similar fan or temp issues like the batch 4. Some were shipped with both rev1 and rev2 hashboards., don't know how many were sent out the door that way. Just like some minis may have a rev 1.0.0 controller while others may have a rev 1.x.x. It appears it is about availability and what was on hand during assembly.
Lets not get into a pissing match on every thread I offer the free fix.
Was not a pissing match. Was an honest-to-God question, hence me approaching as "correct me if I'm misspeaking". And I'm glad this is working for you, honestly.
You said it was "cgminer from batch4 firmware in the batch1 image" -- What else was different? The _only_ portion of the image that actually interacts directly with the ASICs *IS* cgminer, so I'm having a hard time understanding what else could have possibly changed. Rephrased: how is what you did any different than just the batch 4 image by itself?
If it was a pissing match, I'd point out that all you did was copy one file.... which tells me there is zero reason that the latest firmware wouldn't just work on all batchX minis. The only other differences in batch1 and "batch4" as you call it from an image perspective is that batch4 added an updated libncurses (and given the opkg configuration, was likely a mistake on bitmain's part), and that the HTML UI was updated to not look for a fourth chain.... So "your" firmware will not work with 4 chains -- at least from a presentation perspective.

The fan/temp problem lies in cgminer, batch 1 cgminer don't like batch 3 and 4 the best either don't read temp or is wacky temp so taking the batch 3 cgminer and unlocking it and patching it to the batch 1 image gave the over clock options in the web gui. As far as the 4th chain how many are using 4 boards on a mini? The last I checked your versions don't show the 4th chain for the freq selection either.
Other then that no changes needed to be made to make it overclock and working temps/fan for the b3 and 4's.
I already explained what was done when you said you were going to disassemble it so yes it is now a pissing match because you want to sit and act dumb to something you knew the answer to. All you are looking to do is steer people away from my version which is free and push towards your dev-mode or paid version Bottom line is that it works on ALL mini batches with ALL the intended functions and it is FREE who cares how I got there.
What is lame is how you go and talk down on every fix that has been put out that is free. Mine and Smartass11 have both been your targets. So it is going to be like this from now on, you do your projects and others will do theirs without any talking down on each others work or making accusations. I have visions of what I want to do and you have your own visions, if there continues to be the bs I will rip every version of your images apart and share the info so others can begin to create their own free versions. I have been thru this crap many times over the last 40 yrs so we can all play nice or we can get down to the nitty it your choice at this point.
