any options to make any custom firmware for s2???
Wouldn't the S4 firmware work on the S2?
The S4 firmware doesn't even work on the S4 - it'll be a brave man who tries it on the S2.........

It's not suppose to work. S3 and S3+ firmware are compatible to each other but not S2 and S4.
If you brick it, the replacement S2 firmware is available for download at http://www.bitmaintech.com site under Support.

Batch 2 S4 has new PSU. and all the future batches.
batch 1 with PSU problems are being replaced as we speak. (When RMA is needed)
If you have a DOA or defective PSU, PLEASE DO NOT OPEN the PSU case. It can be life threatening hazard inside the PSU. HIGH VOLTAGE.
and we are still wake!! Its late in China but staffs are still working around the clock as usual.
As information becomes available, we will provide more
Cgminer & Firmware part wise, tremendous supports from Ckolivas and Kano are placed into this, but please wait for the programmers to finish their work.

I just don't understand why they went with a PSU that could not be changed out with aAX1500 or something like that . I understand that the S4 is a TAD bit smaller then the S2 but it wasn't worth it ! I don't understand who made these decisions.. they had the bugs in the S2 worked out ! There was no reason to re invent the wheel here… I have a feeling they will drop support for the S4 like they did the S2 and say there were "production issues" so stick with our S3…. Its not that hard to make this rack mount option work ! The S2 was WORKING ! they worked out the shipping issues ! … all they had to do was STICK with their darn upgrade path .
S4 PSU issues ?
Can Bitmain please advise the community as to what is up with the Power Supplies ? I just lost my first S4 and it was just installed less then 7 days ago .

Its late now in CN so I'll see what they say tomorrow. They're not made in house though, its a large OEM who have made mistakes - Bitmain are as upset as you are.
So are you finally going to admit that there are hardware issues?
I don't know how people can think Bitmain mined using these machines when they have so many problems.

This is a real letdown because for every day I have to deal with a RMA or tech support I totally lose out on ROI ..

that is an ugly job.
IMO, buy a new PSU (or pair of PSUs), and power it from those for the meantime. Underclocking slightly should make it operable with an EVGA 1300
The people that had their s4's shipped to Bitmain's hosting facilities should speak up about their experiences.. either fixes are being provided before the home miners' machines are being looked at, or this facility is already burned down to the ground.
After looking at my PSU I suspect they burnt that facility to the ground… LOL …… I know its not funny, but after looking at my less then 7 day old PSU and the black marks I'm glad I didn't burn my rack to the ground .

I gave a remote accessed S4 a red hot go on a customised proxied p2pool and the best I could get on it was averaging 1.7TH.
That's about all I could get out my S4 at slush's pool too.
So I guess Bitmain decided to not learn from BFL then, trying to go cheap on PSUs meant for 24/7 operation with close to 100% load is not the brightest idea.
Just for clarification - I use 208V and all units with stock settings. No overclocking what so ever.
Gentlemen,
We have a problem here. I want to tag all the posters who talked about the PSU's burning up. I ordered 33 units of the S4. I now have 8 that are down due to PSU failures. Three of these literally CAUGHT ON FIRE!!!! I was lucky enough that they were installed to a PDU and the breaker tripped which saved my entire rack. Now.... Upon inspecting the units I saw as others have posted: There are no stickers, no identifying racks, and no manufacturers specifications on these PSU's... This tells me that these were not manufactured by a PSU company but rather built in house by someone who is NOT QUALIFIED to build PSU's.
Now we as customers are left holding the bag - again. I have 16 TH/s worth of machines sitting on the ground waiting for Bitmain to send me new PSU's. I also have 3 more machines units randomly turn off, which is what they do just prior to the PSU failing. This was a TERRIBLE decision for Bitmain to make, as it shakes our confidence in their ability to make a quality unit. From this point forward I don't think I will have any choice but to order spondoolies-tech units. They are the last company who delivers on time, or close to on time, and offers quality units.

any options to make any custom firmware for s2???

P2pool compatibility wise, it does work but it is depends on how the pool side is setup.
Sorry Bitmain, but this simply isn't true. Would you care to share these settings you refer to with the p2pool community? - as I am not aware of a single user who has had any success running the S4 with p2pool either efficiently or effectively. In fact, it appears that the S4 only works with with a single pool with a single setting atm.
I must also say that I find your support & attitude towards customers distinctly lacking of late. I too am a S2 owner (as well as S3 & S1) whom you promised a fix for before going silent months ago, and I think that accusing a customer who correctly complains about this of "reasons to increase the post count" just a little too tasteless, given the circumstances
Out of curiosity...
Could you put to a Beta build with the latest CGminer compiled in it as is. It wouldn't be to hard to whip up an disclosure box saying this software is provided in a beta condition, it hasn't been fully tested and Bitmain Tect is not responsible for your machine mining at a lower hashrate, becoming unresponsive, the bricking, formation of small black holes, etc.
Again, this is an option for those of us who like the bleeding edge of stuff, and know how to back things up if Fit hits the Shan.

I can spend answering your repeated posts while time to look into what you are asking may be eaten away
You are just giving this account more reasons to increase the post count...
Back to the serious mode: I do see your point and understand it but, please wait for any update. you don't want trouble shooting techs pulling something out of nowhere and compile it. (I'm sure you don't want a car mechanic fixing the jumbo jet engine on your flight on the way to your honeymoon trip) I'm sure it will be better served when it is done right as you keep asking.
