all my miners are autofreq, its necessary to use the application to run the upgrade or just from the miner like always?

ALWAYS run updates from the miner and especially with the auto-tune ones, after the update is done let it run for at least 10-15min before doing another reboot. It should come back up on its own after the update/reboot/test process.

Just point the miner at the file you downloaded from Bitmain and saved on your computer.

So you should always keep your s9 with the latest firmware? I just got mine and it has a 2014 firmware. What exactly is auto-tune and auto-freq?

thank you.

You need to match the batch of your unit to the firmware. Older versions had a static speed set and you need to flash with the firmware that corresponds to the default speed of the device.. If your current machine is an autotune version (aka no advanced settings tab and no wya to modify fan speed) then you can use the firmware labeled autofreq.
