Hi
I bought a LV08 and I didn't realised the software was so locked down. I have a BitAxe Gamma, and this is great.
Since the LV08 has "no upgrade Firmware" option, does anyone have any details on how I can put a different firmware onto it ?
I don't want to brick it, but I always don't want the (probably) untrustworthy Firmware on it.

THANKS

I am using a CP2104 USB to TTL Flasher.

Don’t have any photos for LV08 but you can follow the LV07 guide: https://github.com/un-painted-org/ESP-Miner/wiki/Anleitung-(German)

The 6 pins are located near the esp32.

1. Hardware Connections:
   •   Power:
   •   Connect 3.3V on the CP2104 to 3.3V on the LV08.
   •   Connect GND on the CP2104 to GND on the LV08.
   •   Data:
   •   Connect RX on the CP2104 to TX on the LV08.
   •   Connect TX on the CP2104 to RX on the LV08.

2. Entering Programming Mode:
   1.   Short the GND and IO0 pins on the LV08.
   2.   While keeping them shorted, press the reset button on the LV08.
   3.   After pressing reset, remove the short between GND and IOP.

The LV08 is now in flashing mode.

3. Flashing the Unlocked LV08 Factory Firmware Using bitaxetool
   1.   Download and install bitaxetool if you haven’t already.
   2.   Open bitaxetool on your computer.
   3.   Select the correct COM port for the CP2104.
   4.   Load the unlocked LV08 factory firmware file.
   5.   Start the flashing process and wait for it to complete.
   6.   Once flashing is done, disconnect the CP2104 and power cycle the LV08.
