I'm running the 24.10.2018 image on sd card on s9i
Is it safe to upgrade it via web to latest?
When I try to do "opkg install firmware" or "opkg upgrade firmware" it gives me "Unknown package 'firmware'" or "Cannot install package firmware"

I just went through a similar process restoring my R4 to factory without having a previous backup and the process should be the same for you. The R4's don't have SD slots so this is all to be done manually, over ssh essentially from your computer to the S9. Are you running linux or windows? I did my restore from linux with a lot of help from Braiins support so that would be the OS with which I could be most helpful.

Howeveeeer... i didn't do a backup. so.. i can't reflash a normal bitmain image to the miner to go back again. it seems it doesn't work that way.
i've installed python but i don't know how to make a backup from another S9 with an Bitmain FW.
i didn't catch much from the help from Braiins. they say "python3 restore2factory.py backup/backup-id-date/ your-miner-hostname-or-ip"

If your unit has the microsd slot, you are supposed to use that first to make sure you like it...
When you install Braiins using their python script, it makes a backup of the factory firmware inside backup/
When you install Braiins using the web browser, i don't think it makes the backup.
Before the last version, people were requesting an "easy" install, but I think the price to pay is you don't get a backup.
So stop asking for "easy" shortcuts and use the command line (python+ssh) installer, preferably from linux, not the web install...
If you still have an identical miner running factory firmware, and you use the Braiins command line install, you will get a backup like
Shad0wSmurf suggested. Then you could use that same backup to restore both units to factory firmware (Does that clone the mac address?)
But beware of mixing S9 with S9j/i firmwares, especially if you made backups of older firmware versions...
Velles2003 Try using stock values without overclocking, and also try different pools. Check temperatures.

So no HW Error % count yet? And the temp issue fixed?

Hi guys!
so i've been using Braiins for a few days but i'm not really sure i want to stay with it right now as my S9's are not getting along with Asicboost and overclocking, basically just underperform. and give HWer.
Ok so. long story short, i changed a fw from one S9 directly from bitmains flash page to braiins with a s9.web image. fingers crossed (it worked). Howeveeeer... i didn't do a backup. so.. i can't reflash a normal bitmain image to the miner to go back again. it seems it doesn't work that way.
i've installed python but i don't know how to make a backup from another S9 with an Bitmain FW.
i didn't catch much from the help from Braiins. they say "python3 restore2factory.py backup/backup-id-date/ your-miner-hostname-or-ip" ... well... shit.
it seems i should do a nice install from SD to the other S9 and then.. restore the FW with the code above.
can it be done in some other way?
can someone please help?
thank you!

I am connected to it via an S7, so I know the pool is running etc.
I can ping, traceroute and even NSlookup via the S9, it just wont connect to mine.

the same for me. looks like it is not compatible with Asicboost.

I have an S9 and S9j both run great on 2018-11-27-0-c34516b0.
But I cant connect to some pools, with or without the asic boost. Do pools have to change anything or have I done something wrong?
Main pool I can not connect to is: stratum+tcp://bsv.svpool.com:3333
It always shows as Dead

are there any other servers available from svpool for you to mine to? Can you ping the stratum and see that its available?
December 12, 2018, 11:24:08 AM
Haha well I guess I was the guinea pig! Hopefully they figure it out soon. If you manage to make a back up of the fw from your R4 please do let me know!
Run the backup for brains via ssh on the other R4, then use the backup restore command to force it to the other R4 with the others backup

I know it makes one when you install it from console, not sure about the "web" option since i have never tried it.
BTW: They updated the docs about the R4: https://docs.braiins-os.org/#braiins-os-versioning-scheme

I thought you had to have already made a backup of the factory firmware?

Can't you revert to factory firmware using restore2factory.py?

Edit: the command references the backup you were *supposed* to have made before upgrading to bOS. You can't make this back up without using an SD card which my R4's lack a port for
I realized this after I installed, thinking I could always use my other R4 running Bitmain FW to make the back up SD card. December 11, 2018, 11:25:45 AM
Don't! Braiins support got back to me this morning saying there are a handful of variants of the R4 which the FW simply doesn't work on for unknown reasons. There is also no SD card slot so no way to revert to factory. I'm in a pickle with this R4 (glad I only did one machine) until Braiins figures this out.

I'm sure I checked the download page before, that must have been added recently...
I guess I'll give it a try.

Yes you can reinsert it again if you want, in the exact same position it will click again and stay in the plug as it was.
Strange, I don't see the R4 mentioned anywhere in their documentation, web site, or first post of this Thread. Else i would have tried it on mine...

Will be giving the plug removing idea a try today, will update with results.
Its listed the two places below:

According to the Braiins page, the R4 is supported. Their support has confirmed this and added that they have tested it on multiple R4’s. I will have to try removing the 4th wire, thank you for the tip! Can it be reinserted without damage?
