TLDR;
Mine on BTC Guild and manually set the difficulty to 2048 until the new firmware is released.

Confirmed.
Thank you!

Until Bitmain gets their sh*t together and upload a proper working firmware update...... Angry use the method above. Manually set your difficulty for whatever pool you are using to 2048. You will notice a difference.

Tried applying this update.  It failed, saying:

  System Upgrade Failed
  cp: omitting directory 'SD'

Use the above method temporarily. I am disappoint too. But we won't likely see any resolution until after their Chinese holiday.
Looks like they failed to pack the firmware TAR file properly.

My power went down for 2 seconds, and my S4 units rebooted claiming they were giving 2TH/s each.... whereas the pool reported around 100GH/s, and also paid for that much.... for FIVE HOURS!
Setting my difficulty manually as suggested, resolved that in about 2minutes.
Not very impressed.

Bitmain better hurry up with that firmware. Angry
