I just upgraded my S9 from bmminer 1.0 to cgminer 4.9.2
My error rate is MUCH lower. One downside is now I can not see chip temperatures.

HI All,
I just loaded two S9 with V2. Be patient!!! the route i have gone with is i first load the normal update, it took more than usual to come back so i loaded the upgrade fix and then the regular update for v2 takes about 15-20 minutes to come back to life.
i upgraded two for now will run for about 24 hours and if all is good i will load my other 3...
good luck

Good job agentcash with your 4th Kano block! (an S9?) This is our 1st of the new day!
Yep the S9v1 sux something terrible - the stats are still getting worse.
ANYONE using the v1 firmware - PLEASE update to v2.
It's got to conspiracy theory levels how bad the luck is with S9v1 firmware.
The last luck report I ran:
S9v1:
Block found: 79
Expected: 105.15
CDF[Erl]: 0.996590
Yeah that's basically saying that it's averaging 75% luck for 79 blocks ... that's like really BAD luck ... or BAD code.
Whew, felt like I was long overdue for one. Thanks guys.
Best Share on that miner: 480,759,511,561
I'll work on upgrading any v1's later today.

In System > Overview you have a field that says: "BMminer Version" and it will either be 1.0.0 or 2.0.0. It's that same screen where you see that "failed to connect" error message early in the boot process.
I am running the Nov 29th firmware (which is the last one they released) on my newer S9 and it doesn't cycle the fan speeds up and down, it stays pretty steady (without letting it hit 100 degrees which is also good). But unfortunately there is no manual control.
I am contemplating putting the V1 S9's on antpool rather than upgrade them. I have never mined there before but maybe it would be the most karmically just solution.
I have mine slightly OC'd with static fans and if I went with the firmware upgrade I would lose the ability to do either of those things.
Thanks for the directions. It seems im running v1. But apart from one board which shows 1000hw errors, the other two show 200, 300errors respectively, its not bad. Obviously haven't found a block and most likely never will with it running at 4.3Th but the HW Error rate is currently at 0.0008%. Bestshare reported as 2,479,422,642 which I don't think is bad considering its only been running for just over 2 days since the last time it was cleaned out.

I have 2 s9 batch 1 mining here on kano from jun 19 with v1 firmware. one of them find a block already here on kano on Oct 4th 
During the summer added 2 more s9 batch 1 to my kano mining farm , they still hunting for a block
One of my another S9 batch 1 version 1 on another pool also find a block already in November .
So i have 5 s9 batch 1 with v1 firmware , this 5 s9 find 2 block in the past 6 months .
with 70 TH/s hashing speed , the estimated time to solo mining 1 block is around 220 days or 7.4 months with today difficulty.

Scroll back a bit and I posted the link for the frequency page (will not solve your micromanaging issues for the fans, but you can set freq how ever high/low you want).

I did see that actually but does it work? I experimented with modifying the bmminer.conf file to try and get static fan speeds and in the newer firmware that file seems to be ignored for fan speeds, so if that web page is making modifications to the bmminer.conf file for freq control that may get ignored also.

How would you go about doing that? Ive got a B10 S9 and don't want to get that autotune crap due to the location of my S9 (under my desk). Also how do you know what version of BMminer youre running anyway? I couldn't see it anywhere on the GUI.

Well just to put in my two cents.. These v1 bmminer units have by far more hw errors then ive seen with any of the antminer line. I'm sure (no I'm positive) its throwing good blocks away. They told everyone to upgrade a while back and pulled all the code for the old units. Id say that should be a big red flag. Them pulling the old code from download. I also once tried to put it up and was asked in a pm from bitmain to not post that code. Hmm wonder why. So another knife in back from bitmain. In their haste to market they put out machines that don't find blocs properly. I did however which is what has me scratching my head find two blocks on solo with two dif s9. So I know they do work. What I know also about the machines is if you put in more than one pool it throws tons of dup shares. I have no idea how adding a backup pool causes this but that is my exp.
honestly I hope we are wrong. And the gut feeling I have will come to fruition. Looking for a block spree soon;)

BTClock! by cashdc! Second block today!
The thing about PPLNS is once you left the pool you still getting pay for blocks.... its a real tease! Happen to me once or twice and each time I'm "f*&G I should of stayed" Feel for those guys. Kano is the best pool by far.

I think that I would wager on the latter.
Thanks for the bonuses on those blocks! Hopefully things pick back up to normal around here and you won't feel the urge to have to do that again.
