Hey, I just got a S2 yesterday, it had a lot of HW errors so I updated the firmware and cgminer to 4.6.1 it fixed the HW problem but now it only hashes at half capacity!!

Has anyone experienced this or know a solution.. I really need help - I have little experience with this.
Oh, and I work from a Mac or Raspberry Pi if that helps.

FIXED!!: Hey, so using the firmware, it's system>upgrade>perform reset and the whole thing started back good as new.. maybe make a backup before you do this if your nervous.

Alright, now I am getting a consistent 1015.7 gh/s.. I've included the system backup, I've made.. It should get you to antminer firmware dated October 28 2014 and cgminer 4.6.1 - the highest you can set the asic-freq is 200, but it works like a dream. To use it go to: system>upgrade>restore backup .. Thanks!!!
