Visvas, your code is different from every other guide ive found, sadly it still does not work for me. Thanks though.

What version of cgminer and OS are you on? Also, have you used zadig to replace the usb drivers for U3? When you say it's not working, what kind of error do you get?

Thats the switches relevant to UE3 in the Readme of the latest cgminer, but yes, i know all of the old guides out there. cgminer addedd native U3 support in 4.8 release.

yeah tried that, and downloaded an older version of zadig to try that.

I'm out of ideas, sorry. Could be anything software wise causing it, or simply hardware. Please contact BitmainWarranty if you would like to arrange a replacement (if you bought directly from Bitmain). Else, contact your reseller.

so on 4.8 if i unplugg the u3 i get this, and if i replugg and list devices it gives me- Usb List: failed to open :10

Probably a hardware issue, most likely vreg bugging out.

Hmm, the lock is a separate issue and usually requires a windows restart to clear. Then replug and check zadig again because it can drop.

cgminer.exe -O username:pass -o stratum+tcp://pool:port --au3-freq 240 --au3-volt 785

the latest 4.9 version downloaded from the compiled binaries folder. If you have multiple cgminer versions, like me, make sure you're in the right directory as well:)

To the ongoing discussion on cgminer: Currently using cgminer 4.9 with the options --au3-freq 245 --au-volt 785, working just fine on windows.

Had two U3s for a few weeks now, tested both on my windows and linux setup with cgminer 4.9. They are easy enough to use after cgminer got support for them and extremely silent, compared to for instance my old butterfly jalapeno. But, they are not so very stable or well performing, but it varies a lot. For the most port, one of them has given me an average around 57-58 gh/s, the other one around 45-46, consistent across machines. And one usually zombies every day or two. Now suddenly, they have both been averaging around 57-58 for the last 30 minutes after i unplugged for a little while and restarted cgminer.
Using the power supplies that came with the units, bought from cryptocrane on amazon.com. Bit hard to understand whats going on with these units and their performance...

For some reason they average higher on my windows box than ubuntu 14.04, a little difference in hardware though. Faster wireless on the windows machine as well.

Are you using a USB hub? Is it powered? USB 2, 3 etc?

But, i can mine with my graphics card, at 500mhs. I just allowed cgminer through my firefall though just to make sure, still the same. all went into task and turned off all antivirus.

It has to be something silly im missing.

But you're not mining on your graphics card with this particular instance of cgminer. Maybe CK will have some ideas as to what's going on once he's back.

I added pause, this is what i got. if i press enter it closes.

Its doing what its meant to be doing, I still suspect its some form of antivirus or windows defender which is closing it as its shutting down at a point that cgminer never would do so itself.

cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:0.65 -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u Iskavan_Icarus -p 123 --bmsc-voltage 0800 --bmsc-freq 1306
stop

and i tried echo stop, and stop directly at the end of this, still closes i manages to take a screenshot real quick and it just said stop was unrecognizable or something like that.

My bad, "pause". It will tell us which bit of the .bat is wrong.
