Hi guys I have managed to unpack the file. add .IMG to the file and write it to sd card.
Installed it to my miner and its all working! There's a English and Chinese tab on the opening page, tap english tab and once you find your ip address, fill in your pool and bitcoin address. It's not the enhanced firmware with the nice opening interface but it will do the job. Thank you very much for your help guys!!

Thanks for the efforts guys. I downloaded the files but it seems its corrupt, it will not unpack -
Are you sure about that? I gave it a shot on my end, and the unpacking process went smoothly without any issues. I used 7-Zip.
Perhaps consider giving it another go by downloading the file one more time.

Keep an eye on that thread and lets see what happens.
It's so strange that that file just does not exist anywhere.

I stumbled upon this topic entirely by chance.
I have no idea what this is about, but you can download the requested file here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jty3DSRfphtVuGVchkdR2cDkibcUeJ0w
I haven't unpacked it or made any modifications to it in any way. The file is simply reuploaded as it is using this service: baidudownloader.com.

Hi i tried to install the netdisk program but impossible to use. It installs, opens in chinnese, unable to login as you need to open some sort of account which is all in chinese. Unable to copy and paste the chinese writing, so no go unfortunately.
Keep us posted here, and if it does work please put it someplace where others can get to it without jumping thought all the hoops.
If you can't risk the other PC, I have a few I drives I can spin up and then wipe later. It's good to be in IT :-)
Serious note, I know you just want it for a solo lottery miner, but because of the noise and power needs and the fact that it's as old as it is so who knows what part may die next I just think that you are probably better off getting something newer / faster / quieter / less power hungry.

Hi yes i have tried it so far until it wants to install the netdisk software, then stopped it. I have a spare pc so might as well try it on that, there may be a little hope of it downloading who knows!
Did you try the link from here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5910251
This: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mgDgwGw
Seems to be from the right time (2014) it wants to install the baidu netdisk program before downloading so I would take a spare PC, install that get the file and wipe it.
Other than that it really seems to be just about impossible to find.

I have checked there, doesn't seem to bring anything up. If it did have anything i would expect it would be like all the links on here, dead, not available, removed. I know i can buy other miners, but all i want it for is solo mining, just need a cgminer firmware for the pi sd card. Someone some where must have a copy!
I know it's a REAL long shot but have you spent any time poking around archive.org?
They have a ton of stuff there, most of the download links for stuff like this are dead but you might get lucky.
Keep in mind you have to check ALL the links. If they grabbed it today at 9:37 AM and then a couple of weeks from now today's might not have it, but the one in a few weeks might. It's a slow slogging process that might not get you anywhere but it's worth a shot.
Also, don't waste more time then it's worth. You can get a newer / faster / low power miner for not much money depending on where you are in the world.

Anybody!!!?
Thanks for help but i have searched every option i can think of, all the links on all of the posts on here are dead, probably because they are so old. I have even messaged the guy who posted the enhanced firmware but not reply. Thanks
Nice history update, yes it is old but its ideal for what i want it to do. I've been searching the net for the last few days but cant find anything about the sd card file. I've checked all my pc's laptops and flash drives but cant find my back up.
Do a search using LKETC Dragon software firmware as the search term.At the top are a lot posts from here in the Forum about it.
One thread is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1307157.20

Thanks for the links, but looking at the Innosilicon T1, its similar to the Anminer s9 with control board. My dragon miner 1th is run via a raspberry pi 1 or 2. What i need is the sd card content and not the control board content. Heres a similar one to mine in this link -

Whoo - thass going way back to early 2014. It uses the A1 chips that the now defunct Bitmine.ch and Innosilicon collaborated on. Bitmine.ch provided most of the money with Inno getting the option of selling the chips to other mfgrs a few months after Bitmine released their Coincraft A1 miner. Go back to my earliest posts to catch that saga regarding their Made In America version that a company called AMT was supposed to handle...https://www.tradekorea.com/product/detail/P574297/LKETC-DRAGON-MINER-BITCOIN-ASIC-1TH-S-SHA-256-.html

Long story short - Bitmine.ch (and AMT) were clueless idiots when it comes to even the basics of dealing with high power chips and feeding them power. Their hash boards were utter crap. Massive failure there whereas companies like LKETC got it right. Innosilicon back then was an ASIC design house who designed the A1 chip and had them made by TSMC but at that time Inno did not make actual miners. As for the firmware - no idea about that but it has to exist *somewhere* on the `net. Back then the 'control board' was just a SPI data bus fed from the GPIO pins on the Pi. The entire code for the miner is on that SD card.

The Original Dragonmint thread from 2017 is here I'd think that ck's links should be somewhere in there...
Another is here

Hi thanks for the advice guys i'll do some searching, i did message the member - mxnsch as he/she posted the enhanced firmware on this link -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13416367
but no reply from him/her yet.

Isn't Dragon miner T1 a copycat of the original Innosilicon T1? I don't recall what miner did Halong Mining modify to make that Dragon T1 but sure thing is; they never made their own, so you are more likely to find that firmware by looking for it using the original miner model keywords like Innosilicon T1 Firmware instead fo searching for Dragon T1 firware.
Close. Halong worked with Inno who actually built the miners. Halong had buckets of money and wanted to be 1st to use non-covert ASICBoost, Inno had the design/build expertise to make them and was licensed by Halong to market their own after x number of months assuming the idea (AB) caught on.As for firmware, -ck was paid by Halong to do all of the cgminer code mods and driver work. Initially he was releasing FW updates every couple of days for Live User testing until he got the bugs worked out, odds are somewhere in his git the code is all there.
