Hi darval, did you ever get something working with your tool & the T9+? few posts back you can see link to where thierry4wd posted a how-to with PICKIT 3 & MPLAB X IPE along with a HEX dump from working card using that tool so hoped to be able to flash my broken card with software.. Save me ordering & waiting for a pickit.  I'm tempted to convert his hex file to the format of the txt file but I wasn't sure if the format of the text file caused the corruption to begin with.  (I doubt the antminer monitoring script auto-rebooting mid flash helped.. x(  I mean single-board-test & bmminer obviously can flash the boards to store settings & messed up the boards so would think it should be possible to flash them back correctly.  I've monkeyed around with the source of both of those & get the basic idea of what's going on (I disabled the auto-flashing in both so I could get my miner up & running on chains 4 13 & 14 at least.  The latest official firmware just auto-reboots over & over when it has heartbeat failures so made my T9+ worthless.)  So maybe I'll order a PICKIT 3 and while I wait try hacking away at the source to see if I can get anywhere in the meantime but hoped someone had a working software-only solution already Smiley
Thanks

As of right now I think that is the current solution.
