If you can telnet to the miner all hope is not lost...does it allow you to log in to the miner using telnet?
You can use serial connect instructions are here....

ah that is assembly language otherwise known as "MACHINE LAUNGUAGE" I used to write programs with it back in the 1980's so I know how to do it I recognize the commands just some new ones in there I see. like I said I am rusty but I think I can do I just have to brush up on the new commands.

push = push onto stack.   pop=pull off of stack  note: first byte in is last byte out so if I push four values "10 20 30 40 whatever" I have to pop the stack four times to get the first value I pushed in.

jne = jump if not equal     compare values if they are not equal the jump back in the loop to LOC_00000010   this is the beginning of the sub loop routine.

ret = return from sub loop once values are equal. Continue processing "keep going down screen"

you get the idea its like C the same structure.   when you compile C this is what it turns it into provided you did not make any error lol. 
 

So when you putty in to old IP address its not asking you for username/password?

Smoked salmon works best mmmmm bacon  

Sorry I amended the instructions...once you have access to the miner, type
mtd -r erase rootfs_data and hit enter
then type REBOOT and hit enter

If anyone has a bricked controller and not comfortable de-bricking it I can help...Im based in Canada

Very new here.But seem like I'm another the latest firmware as bricked my control board.
It was flashed over WIFI network, and had the message that the firmware was ready to flash.
Now I have the red flashing LED of death.
Latest firmware took on my two other units.
I'm able to open a telnet connection on the old IP address, but that is it. I'm lost from here.
I see some HEX stuff going on, but it is way beyond me. Is the hex file able to be flashed through ethernet?
Any solutions to get firmware flashed over again maybe over LAN1, Debug???

Not being one to take good advice when given some, after realising the miner_pic.hex file was an ASCII file, I decided to deploy my secret reference material (read google) and seem to have found something, though I can not make any sense of it. I am sure bitsolutions, the clever clogs on our side, can so here goes.

1. My reference material suggested a site to view a hex file: http://en.webhex.net/
On visiting the site, I browsed to the file and uploaded the miner_pic.hex file

2. On the next screen, I scrolled to the bottom of the box and clicked on the Export link

3. When the Export screen was loaded, I un-checked the Headline, Offsets and Readable Characters check-boxes then clicked on the Export button on that screen.

4. I was then presented with the hex data in a web page. I had not mentioned this, but earlier,  my reference material had also suggested to me an online dis-assembler here : http://www2.onlinedisassembler.com/odaweb/

5. I copied all the exported hex data (Ctrl + A then Ctrl + C) then flicked over to the dis-assembler, clicked on the Platform button and changed it to avr (this may b wrong), and in the box below that I pasted the hex data into it.

The page then did a little spinning wheel and after a short while, spewed out something like this:

Now the easy bit, @bitsolutions or any of you clever clogs out there, can you make any sense of that?

".... I recommend everyone stay far far away from antMiner_S320141024 as it greatly increases the chance of you bricking your control card(only way to recover is with ttl) since the reset doesn't work(filesystem issue)...."


I have the bricking problem you mention. Bitmain just told me my warranty has expired. (They must start counting the 90 days from the time they ship instead of teh day I received it )

Questions:

1. Instead of buying another control board, how do i use ttl to recover it? Sorry, I 'm gonna need step by step instructions.

2. My other S3s are running okay on the Oct 24th release. Should i re-flash them to the Oct 13th firmware?

If you're in Ottawa, i would pay you to come over with your device and get my miner up and running. If you're not in Ottawa (most likely you're in Toronto or Vancouver), PM me your phone number.

Will talk later as i gotta run to the Dr now.
