Well maybe it DID finish flashing, HOWEVER, upon restarting I can not access the gui at all.

The web browser never registered a response from the unit so the page showed "flashing" even after the unit had restarted itself (and stopped working).

Rare problems occurring seem to be what happens to me. Wish there was a way to re set it. Holding that reset button does nothing.

You are now raising the possiblility that you have not bricked the board ... do you have any other S3+'s on your network and if so is any of them on the default static IP?
When you flash a unit that (usually) is on DHCP, th web UI will NOT register a response because the flashing resets the IP to the default one and turns the network settings to static. Thus you have to log onto the default static IP (192.168.1.99) rather than the on you had on DHCP. And if you have 2 units on the default IP, ofcourse one will not show up on your network, and that will be the last to ry to use that IP (which in this case is the rebooting / reflashed rig).

It's pretty clear to me that the firmware cooked my controller.

Here's what Bitmain replied to me- re: the same issue as Patriotminer:

"antMiner_S320141126.bin don't surpport adjust voltage. Hash board's power maybe cut off when you over clock."

and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=671189.msg9845434#msg9845434
"Now miner hardware modified, I want know your hash board's num. Can you help me? Thanks."

I provided him the details here:

and also sent an RMA request to: info@bitmaintech.com

Their day should be starting soon. So I anticipate hearing something from them given how many people have posted problems here re; the Nov firmware.

I have 2 S3s and 1 other S3+. They survived the ordeal just fine. In fact, i set back their frequency to the level for a standard S3... as they were all running between 470 and 590 with the Oct firmware. Evenso, one of my standard S3s is still close to 600. Am a bit worried about that one- but it smells ok.
