I tried updating one of my first S9s I think it was 550mhz
I updated first to the new auto tune firmware, but nothing happened even after setting pools and rebooting.
So then I loaded the S9 recovery firmware, and it started working again.
Then try the new autotune firmware, and I'm getting this (I think one board has always been dead, so that is not a surprise)
Is it ever going to start hashing? Been 2 hours.

Waited 2 hours, so should have came back up.
Re-saved pool settings and did a hard power cycle.
Waited 12 hours, nothing, just keeps looping those values like it's crashing and restarting.
Mine did that too, after a long back and forth with bitmain they determined that my pre autotune model should not have had the autotune firmware installed. After going back to the old firmware two of the three boards don't even try to work anymore. So when they say the firmware is for "all", I wouldn't trust it.
The good news is your PIC software looks intact, so if you can get the pre autotune firmware back in it should *crosses fingers* work again. 0x02 is the "good" version and works in the pre autotune 7/13 + 7/15 firmwares.
Blah blah blah, voided warranty, blah blah blah, malfunction, blah blah blah do at your own risk, will likely cause fires and death and destruction to all you hold dear boilerplate here.https://shop.bitmain.com/files/download/s9-20160715-550M.tar.gzDon't use this firmware if your model was ordered after mid September and is an autotune version, as it probably won't work, and will likely cause doom and destruction to your warranty.
The official Bitmain solution was to disconnect the bad board(s) from the controller and it should work. It didn't work for me though. If you can't load the old firmware try running it with just one board at a time to find the bad one.
