I don't have the build environment to create a full binary image, and the code will need a LOT of work to actually become part of mainline cgminer it seems, but for the time being here is a link to a bugfixed binary of cgminer 4.6.0 for the S3 based on the bitmain code. Copy the file into /usr/bin/ on the S3 overwriting the existing one:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer

@ ckolivas: You my good man, are a LEGEND! I'll be sending a small donation shortly - excellent work & many, many thanks

It's amazing to think that it took you less than 5 hours to produce something that Bitmain failed to do after promising to do so over 3 weeks ago...... Huh

Anyone who uses this, please consider giving ckolivas a small donation for helping secure your S3's from security risks, improving their performance & ensuring your hash power goes where it's supposed to go.

@ Bitmain: Please upload updated firmware releases for both S2 & S3 units that incorporate the latest cgminer as you said you would. Not everyone of your users has the technical know-how to install ckolivas's latest work, a firmware update image is much more user friendly and will enable everyone to benefit from the latest cgminer fixes & improvements.

Thanks, in anticipation...... Wink

Thanks for your support and help getting this issue fixed. I am one of the less technically inclined who would love a easier / safer way to make the update.

Let's go Bitmain! Stop worrying about how you will make the next dollar, and fix what you promised weeks ago! This looks really bad that a community member could fix the issue in less than a day, yet Bitmain let's it go for weeks, if not months. You clearly have the resources to fix this issue. But don't for what reason? 1 community member fixed your issue in less than 1 day!! Where is Bitmain's team? Working on the next pre-order?

What is more important, making the next dollar, or keeping your current customers happy? If you keep throwing us under the bus to make a dollar, you will continue to have more unhappy customers.

The few reasons I liked Bitmain have quickly deteriorated. I'll be looking for a more reputable company for future purchases!
