Bitmain just released two firmware updates (Assuming that both required to get all features). One for showing fan speed and reducing rejected shares and the other increases hash rate by ~33% avg !!!!!!!!!!! (Getting 1040 H/S Average and 0 rejected shares)

Mine is working on 1150 H/s now Grin

Thx to all the guys that posted about the updates and helped with questions. I guess i myself would have just checked in 1 month or so for a new update.

Glad it worked.

Still waiting for my merit point Grin

I did unplug it but it was after 10 minutes.. i was worried the miner was hashing without the fans running at full speed and therefore getting to warm.
Should i just plug it in again and wait?

One thing you never should do is unplug your Miner/PC/Laptop/whatever while updating ....

I think you have no other option than to plug it in again. Have in mind, if you did not fix the IP under "network" for your miner there is a chance that it,
for whatever reason, changed the IP, and that this could be the reason you do not seem the miner online/menu but it actually works, just on another ip.

Try with advanced ip scanner for example and scan your network and maybe you find your miner again. At least that is what i do all the time bevor i
try other options.

I can't open the file to upgrade the miner. What kind of software do you use to open it?

You don't need to open it. Go to your miner's Upgrade page, Image, Choose File, Flash image:

Thank You!

But I guess I fucked up, did the upgrade first instead of the update. Now i can't acces the miner via IP anymore because it doesnt start up.. how can i fix this?

That's the correct way to do it. There shouldn't be an issue unless you manually unplugged your miner while it was upgrading. Your IP address might've changed. Use an IP address scanner to find all devices on your network or use you router UI to find your antminer IP address.

Thank you guys for the quick response. I did unplug it but it was after 10 minutes.. i was worried the miner was hashing without the fans running at full speed and therefore getting to warm.

The miner should've fully rebooted after 10 minutes. Try starting up your miner and checking if your miner's ip address changed. Use your router page to locate the new ip address.

installing them in reverse order will not mess up the miner.
did you wait until the update and upgrade were complete. if you got impatient and didn't wait, that will mess it up

can someone confirm the size of the update_1000.tar.gz file:
on my end it's 84kb and i have a feeling this is not the whole file and something went wrong downloading, or?

That's the correct size

Antminer-B3-20180519.tar -> 37.6 MB

update_1000.tar -> 84.0 KB

Simply go here https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm?pid=00720180519161243572MB78lOGz067A and download both firmwares. Flash you B3 with "Antminer-B3-20180519.tar.gz" first then after completing the upgrade flash it with "update_1000.tar.gz".

Please note that my B3's are running a bit hotter after the update also assuming that they're consuming more energy (Can someone confirm this please).

***NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS FIRMWARE BRICKED YOUR MINER. IT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR MY MINERS***

Please give me some of them merits if this post helped you Cheesy

Don't open the files. Simply download them and flash them directly using google chrome.
