The image file and the free software to write the image to the MicroSD card is located at https://bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=00720140413044945482bs4xshkh072D

The software to write directly to the MicroSD card is

Looks like my flash card got corrupted when the power went out recently. Won't reboot. This happened once before but it was a long time ago so I don't remember the procedure to recover. Thanks for any help!

use a class 10 card when reimaging. It will survive power blips that often crap out the class 4 cards

Where can I get a working image?

I am trying 2 OC with stock PSU. Current heat went up from 54-55 to 58-60.

Might kill the PSU.

Will downgrade back to 1th. The gain is merely 10% and its not worth a new PSU.

If it works at Nicehash, please let us know if there are any issues hashing there.

Flashed new firmware... So far everything is great... I am testing on nicehash now, and with old firmware I could not mine there...

YES!

Also, there is a hardware, factory-reset switch. It's the hole on the bottom left of the LCD display of the S2.

After logging in to 192.168.1.99 - perform a factory rest.

I guess this is the last question: is that "Reset to defaults" on System->Upgrade tab?..

And if you could.... Take klondike_bar's recommendation!!! (It does make a big difference & a Time Savor) Thank you, klondike_bar

Should we stop cgminer before upgrade or we should not to care about it and just flash new firmware? Roll Eyes

Just flash - it's fully automated..... Wink

But uncheck the keep settings box.

Thanks to Bitmain for letting me test the betas on my node, it's good to see Bitmain still care about p2pool & it's users

Indeed, restored a little faith there. Thanks for testing it out with p2pool too, hopefully they'll start doing more testing with their firmware & p2pool on all future releases......

Upgraded earlier & all went well - NO MORE SECURITY WORRIES!!! Hash rate has improved & DOA decreased slightly here also - excellent. There's life in the ol'S2's yet eh?

Quote from: Rabinovitch on October 31, 2014, 01:22:45 AM

I don't want to risk truying it... Sorry...

Who does?..

Don't worry - it's safe & a good improvement over the last version, as well as fixing the security issues. I've been running it for 8 hours now without issue, very happy with it. A few tips to ensure a successful upgrade:

Uncheck the "keep settings" box when flashing - you'll have to re-enter your settings after.
After logging in to 192.168.1.99 - perform a factory rest.
It works with mdudes Antmonitor as an S3.

I highly recommend everyone with an S2 upgrade to this firmware. Thanks Bitmain (at last) Wink

EDIT: You can see the improvements on my p2pool node here: http://iyftech.zapto.org:9332/static/graphs.html?Day (I installed the firmware just before 3 am - scroll down to the S2 graph) I'm using a queue setting of 1 atm - I'll test with 0 later today. The cgminer parameter settings are now on line 60 of the /etc/init.d/cgminer.sh file for changing the queue settings for p2pool. The hash rate is higher & the DOA/reject rate is lower with p2pool & this firmware - it's a good upgrade.

Thanks to Bitmain for letting me test the betas on my node, it's good to see Bitmain still care about p2pool & it's users
