I'm a little shocked. They try to block customers from ssh'ing into devices they purches and should own?

Given the fact that a huge portion of these mining gears are sold to newbies who abuse the use of SSH by over clocking their gears and doing things they don't understand, it has probably created a lot of work load on their support team, let alone the numbers of gears which are under warranty and they have to fix/replace because people want to hash at 50% or 100% more than the default hashrate.

I was upset when I first updated my miners to the latest firmware , but then one member here (forgot who was , but credit goes to him) pointed out a similar point to what I have mentioned above, and after giving it a second thought, I can't seem to blame them for it.

anyway way if you have a lot of gears and you really need SSH access, i saw a trusted guy on Telegram selling a a plug and play PI with a script that should unlock all your gears over night, you basically just have to plug it into your network and go to bed, later on you have full SSH access to all your gears, can't remember how much he sells it for, but i think Taserz or Scott would know because they are more active on telegram than I am , and if anyone is interested I can ask for them or invite them to the Telegram group.

Yeah,  but it was a published date not actually a 2018 firmware.

No i don't think they use the same controller. But i seem to recall there was an older S15 firmware from 2018 with a exploit that allowed SSH access back.

No, you can't downgrade them 2019 firmware has signature restriction you can't downgrade them just like in s9. Bitmain is not releasing image/firmware yet for flashing these miners through SD card.

I don't if you can enable SSH of these miners but there are some guides here on the forum.

Check this below.

- Antminer Hack S9 /S15 / S17 / Sx aso. SSH and so on for free
- Restoring SSH Method

I don't know the 2nd one if it will work on both s15 and s17.

I'm a little shocked. They try to block customers from ssh'ing into devices they purches and should own? How is that even enforceable, can't you just swap the s9 controller and attach it to the s15/s17 hashing boards?

I finally have my setup running but it is pretty important I can get SSH access into the antminer OS. How can I get ssh access into the S15 (or S17) ?

Do I need to flash with custom firmware? The current firmware allows firmware update via uploading a file.

Thank you.
