Antminer S9/T9+
HOW TO INSTALL
If you see the message: can not find signature when you flash the asic with VNISH firmware you need to take off bitmain software protection. This message means that your asic has BITMAIN firmware 2019 year that has overwrite protection
If you have BITMAIN firmware june 2019 or earlier you can remove the protection using the “signature” file and then flash vnish firmware. If you have firmware 31 July 2019 you can remove the protection using the “signature_31july” file, also installing our firmware is possible via the SD card (all files you can download from this page) You can check the firmware version in the System – file system version
If during the flashing process via the SD card you see that 2 lamps (green and red) on the control board are on and don’t blink, then most likely your control board is infected with the ANTBUILD virus, you need to use a special ANTBUILD_RECOVERY image to block the virus (Attention, this image can only be used on infected asics with the antbuild virus)
S9, S9i, S9j
ATTENTION: Firmware is working only with Antminers S9, S9i, S9j , T9+
