Just got me an S9 with hiveon on it. I want to flash the original bitmain fw on it using an SD but somehow it's impossible.


That's because you don't flash firmware using an SD, you flash recovery files that would wipe out hiveon and then you flash the firmware version you want, please go to this website https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Flashing%20SD%20card%20with%20image and download "t9+ -SD Tools.zip", unzip it into an Sdcard and make sure you change the jumper on the control board, all instructions can be found here https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019493654-S9-series-S9-S9i-S9j-S9-Hydro-Control-Board-Program-Recovery

What do you mean it's not turning on?
No lights at all with PSU?

How about the JP4 did you change the position?

The SD card firmware t9+ should work.

If not try other SD card firmware like awesomeminer firmware you can find it from here https://www.awesomeminer.com/antminerfirmware

Read the installation guide here https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000145544-awesome-miner-antminer-firmware-installation

Hello,

Just got me an S9 with hiveon on it. I want to flash the original bitmain fw on it using an SD but somehow it's impossible.
when I unplug the hashboards and fans, or as soon as I unplug 1 of the boards, the control board doesn't turn on for some reason.
I tried finding the option to turn off the hardware security, but can't find it anywhere.

Who can help me out?
