Issues with Updating Braiins Firmware on T17+

Hey folks! I’m having some trouble with my T17+ miner. Right now, it’s got no hashboards because they’re being fixed. I tried to flash Braiins firmware using an SD card, but when I power it on, the lights just blink in sync on-off-on-off. I waited for an hour and it’s still doing that, so I had to manually restart it. When I try to restart without the SD card, both lights come on initially but then they just go dark after a few minutes. I can log in through the IP address but it only shows the stock firmware and when I click on miner status or worker name, it’s just a blank page... What am I missing?

Uh oh, sounds like a tough situation. Have you tried reaching out to Artemis3 for help? I’ve seen them give great advice on issues like this. They’re really the go-to person for Braiins-related stuff. Just check it out on this forum, they’ll probably reply soon.

You might have messed up the flashing process. That can definitely lead to a corrupted software issue or even a soft brick. Also, make sure you’re using a legit SD card. If it’s a fake one, it can mess up your control board. If you’ve got the right SD card, try reformatting it and download the firmware again. Flash it three times; if it still doesn’t work after that, consider getting a new SD card or look into other flashing methods. Check out the guides, they might help you.
