BitAxe 201 updated from v2.0.7 to v2.1.3 now bricked? #142

Closed plittlefield closed 7 months ago

plittlefield commented 7 months ago

I used the web gui on v2.0.7 to restart and then update the main firmware and then web firmware on my 201 - but after waiting 15 minutes I had to power cycle the device.

However, when the power was restored it now shows NO output on the screen and I cannot ping the device.

I had previously updated from v2.0.3 to v2.0.7 with no issues.

What can I do to rescue it?

Thanks,

Paully

Use Bitaxe web flasher

https://wantclue.github.io/bitaxe-web-flasher/

plittlefield commented 7 months ago

I did that, it seemed to complete, but I've plugged the power in again and it's not responsive :(

I'm probably doing it wrong!

Is there a YouTube anywhere for this or step by step instructions please?

I watched this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e37tbrXdAtY - and followed the instructions for my BitAxe 201 as 'All models' and it still remains dead :(

I fear the worst :-(

FYI, I was able to copy and paste some logs the other day when it crashed ...

... don't know if that's relevant to this but it did keep crashing on v2.0.7 when mining to Braiins Pool.

Try using ESPTool online to erase the flash completely. https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/ Make sure you get to Bootloader mode first. After erasing flash using ESPTool, flash again using Bitaxe web flasher

Thanks. I've had a quick look at that page. Is there some documentation for that?

Thanks. The erase on the ESPTool was successful. I then powered off, went back to the bitaxe-web-flasher tool and did exactly the same procedure as before, but alas - the device has no display and it does not boot :(

19201003080114 commented 7 months ago

You can try using the ESPTool that worked and manually flash the factory bin at 0x0 address

if you can, use v2.1.1. It is the last stable version before self test was added.

plittlefield commented 7 months ago

YES that worked!

Many thanks :-)

Had the same issue with my 202 board today. Had to flash it manually with the bitaxetool to fix it. I don't know what's wrong with the new version yet.

Just use v2.1.1 for now

I'm glad you were able to resurrect your bitaxe, and thanks @19201003080114 for the excellent tip.
