Assuming you want to piss away any possible warranty coverage, sure. Do the IP reporter button trick.
Maybe it will work, maybe not. Either way you just kissed the warranty good-bye doing it without Bitmain's written permission

That's different! 
The question as written is a big NO!
The question as written is a big NO!While I agree on the 1st NO
Do you know if there is any way to under-clock with the newer auto-tune firmware's?
I disagree on the 2nd
And can the firmware be downgraded on the new units?
But maybe thats only me, splitting hairs
Give me an autotune S9 and I can test it.
I've been successful with my autotune R4s with this "hack".
I now have three R4s running smootly at 8.7 Th/s.

So the "HagssFIN hack" doesn't work on the actual models?

Well, this is an interesting find and I thought I'll share it with you. 
I had a problem booting my Antminer R4 8.0 Th/s, batch 2, autotune-model.
So I went looking in here:
Bitmain.com: Three Ways to Restore Factory Settings (R4/S9/T9)
https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3957
I used the last option in the list, IP Reporter button restore.
My miner restored with firmware Aug. 9 2016 and autotune settings were gone.
I am now suddenly able to control frequency and custom fan settings.
This was not my original problem, but I'm happy with it.
My original problem was that the miner jammed somehow in the booting process and didn't even show up in my router ip list.

Quote from: Bitmain
Usage: Please power off the miner, then hold down the IP Reporter and don’t release it. At the same time, please power on the miner.
Releasing the IP Reporter after 5 seconds, the machine will automatically restore factory settings.

Hello,
I was redirected to this page for more information.
Since a family member of my wants to start mining witch ASIC machines(BTC) i want some information about it.
1. The bitmain ASIC miners, are they only for antpool mining?
No. You can mine at whatever pool you prefer.I was redirected to this page for more information.

2. I have used in the early years (now about 3-5 years ago) bfgminer, can this be used to for the ASIC miners? Since everything here is stand-alone mining!
These miners have built-in controller with Bitmain's fork of cgminer.Quote
3. Is it still worth mining now we are 120+ days further, and if buying 2 asic miners! will it be profitable? Using for now free electricety and Internet!!
Sure. The keywords are "free electricity and internet".

You could try them. But as stated its entirely at your own risk. I assume the 11.85Th firmware listed there is the original firmware my S9 is running now. But I couldn't tell you for certain. All that's listed on my S9 Info page is "File System Version-Mon Jul 11 18:23:27 CST 2016".
Thank you for the info.
My 11TH has the same version, the thing about this version, its not very stable and smooth when hashing, its really erratic, the hashrate on antpool using this miner goes up and down alot. I also read the new firmwares are more stable in hashing on antpool, too bad for us, I tried to flash it to autotune but its the fan speed that bother me most. I really need to underclock the miner at 12noon here in the philippines. temperature soars up to 100 degrees. i dont like that, we know it shortens the lifespan of the miner. i want to be able to reach the halving in 2020.. hehe..
I have found a chinese seller for the 12.5TH? Do you have any idea of the firmware? is it autotune?
That's why bought it secondhand as it had the original firmware with fan adjustment. The newest auto tune works well from what I've read and keep the chips below 100c but it would be noisy. I've heavily underclocked mine down to 4.2Th and it's really nice and quiet. Anyway good luck with Antpoo....I mean Antpool (probably the worst pool going).

Stick with 11.85th b10 S9 secondhand. Ask about what firmware they are using. All new S9's released from about a month ago have the new auto tune firmware. The old firmware is not available anymore so once you update to the new auto tune firmware there's no going back.
good day sir dogie,
if you can help a newbie... I currently have 1 antminer s9 11.85th, i can control the fan speed and frequency. i want to add more s9's, but i read that the new firmware for the new s9's has fan and frequency issue.
question:
which s9 has this issues? 12.5th? 13th? 14th?
I don't want to face the issue.
I want to buy s9 where I can control the fan and frequency because its tropical here in our country.There are no fan ""issues""
its all auto tune now, so you can't adjust the setup/speeds
You can see all this in the official thread.
Thats the issue im talking about, cant control the fan and frequency. many complain of high heat. if im gonna buy more s9 i need to know which s9 as this autotune. because i need to control the fan speed and frequency. because its hot in our country. ive been reading the forum about the s9. but i cant find info on which miners has this autotune.
and another thing, can i use old firmwares for the new miners? will it be able to control the fans? or is the autotune sticked on the hardware?
can you kindly point me to the official thread? (bitmain antminer s9 release?)
