New E3 Firmware E3_20200313_V520 - Won't Install

Follow
anthonygertz

The new E3 firmware doesn't work. It's "too large" to upload through the dashboard and every and any attempt to load it via an SD card does not work either. I've tried it across 5 different E3s, tried different SD cards, and tried reloading it multiple times. 

When I try to put the firmware on an SD card (Yes, I am moving the 4th jumper), both lights stay solid. Regardless of how long they stay solid, nothing happens when I boot them back up.

    I am having the same issue.

    I have 5 Antiminer  E3 and the exact same thing happens. I cannot install the Firmware with an SD card because both lights come on and  no matter how long I leave it going nothing changes.

    Just like the above poster, the jumper has been moved and board is out of miner according to the instructions.

     

    I can't install the firmware via the web because I receive the error

    413 - Request Entity Too Large

     

    please .. how do we fix this?

    Same problem here, the local storage seems to be full, also can't create a new configuration backup because the system is out of space

    Have you others tried resetting the device to factory first?

    The intermediary firmware they provided applied without errors, but now the new firmware is still not loading properly

    I received the same files and instructions.

    The first file worked but I still receive the same errors with the main Firmware as well.

    Now they are saying this:

    Please try to flash the SD card file to recover to the control board
    We have sent you the SD card file by another email box please kindly check it (also in your spam box)
    instructions is the same with T9+:

    Here is how it has to be done, because god forbid Bitmain post this themselves...

    1.) Flash via SD card (make sure you move the jumper as outlined in their E3 SD card flash instructions website) with firmware version E3-SD-20180806-pool.zip (this will also fully erase your settings). 

    2.) Through the miners dashboard, upgrade the firmware with the file clear-tmp-sig.tar (I had to get this file from Bitmain's support directly, so you probably will too). 

    3.) Through the miners dashboard, upgrade the firmware with the file E3_20200313_V520.tar.gz (the file that they now list on their website as the most current firmware). 

    Now, I'm not sure the firmware does what it says it's going to do and the reason I say this is that the E3-SD-20180806-pool.zip firmware does not load the latest file system code to the miner. There is a 2019 version out that this process will not work with.

    However, that's not what's needed to get around the DAG increase supposedly. The only version number that should change in this process from the 1st to the 3rd step is the CGMiner version...

    Same exact error with the last 2 releases
    E3_V540_0327.tar.gz and E3_20200313_V520.tar.gz

    FOR 2 years, YOUR TEAM HAS ALWAYS HAD TO CREATE A SD CARD VERSION OF THE LATEST FIRMWARE IN ORDER FOR ANY OF MY E3 MINERS TO UPDATE.

    See my account history & Request #607471

    QUIT STALLING & PLEASE JUST CREATE ONE - YOU are costing your customers $$$$ & TIME

    Thank you & see errors below

    Both error saying:  413 - Entity Too Large - ss's attached below

    Also images showing Plenty of memory in status & Monitor logs
    WHEN THE FILES ARE EXTRACTED THEY ARE OVER 45.6 MB <<<<<<Thats the issue

    E3 Entity Too Large Solution:


    I found the issue. Any one who updated using the SD Card version E3-SD-190805-SEC.zip <<<< that is the firmware causing the error.

    Here's the solution
    1) YOU MUST update using a 4MB SD Card AND YOU MUST USE THIS VERSION - IT IS NOT THE SAME Aug version as above

    MUST USE:  E3-SD-20180806-pool.zip

    you can get it from this link:
    https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Flashing%20SD%20card%20with%20image

    After updating using a 4MB SD Card & that pool version firmware
    You can now update normally through the miner interface using this firmware E3_V540_0327.tar.gz

    From this link: https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Antminer%20E3

    After updating using the NEWEST firmware it does say the version is:

    Mon Aug 6 14:36:35 CST 2018 <<<<<??????? but it does hash at full speed!! :)

    Again, I did that process... I am 4 for 4 mining full speed on US Sparkpool

    Thank you & your welcome for the solution
    Be safe

    Good luck to all

    The latest 2 updates won't change the file system version, but it will change the CGMiner version from 4.9 to 5.4. If CGMiner says 5.4, then you should be good to go.
