Thanks for watching!
thanks you just saved me 4 hours of work. i had a power fail in my house and all 5 of my x1 stoped
I know it's been a year since anyone posted, but I still think a response is warranted.
I have two units. A 1.0 and a 1.5. They both crashed during a power outage two months ago.
The 1.0 rebooted itself and continues to mine with out problems. The 1.5 just showed a dead Android on the screen.
I got no help from the Bitcoin Forums. But I did find your RUclips video, and your process brought it back to life.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.

+Mark Amable Hi Mark, thanks for your kind words!
I went through a lot to get this information out here for you, took over a month before finally discovering the sources. Hope you mine some good coins! Kind regards
Thank you so much!! My X1.5 is back in action thanks to your efforts. Cheers!
Bless you for posting links to the files!
+William Kuehn Thanks :) the information is scarce, thought I could help those of us who don't have time to spare for research as I did in Uni
I managed to score 2 of the X-1.5s for $80 and upon updating unknowingly to 1.18 Im having weird error issues that effect one then the other. I hear rolling back to 1.17 solves these issues. Thanks for the tutorial.
xRevoEmaGx Just used your tutorial and it worked flawlessly. Im able to now overclock and getting better stability with way less errors. Thanks!
+xRevoEmaGx I'm happy I could help! Enjoy your machines! btw what settings are you using?
you the man! thanks for doing blackarrows work
+peter skrzyniarz Hey thanks! Thought I could help others out in the face of incompetent corporations... 👍
So Marco and Scienide, I tried and successfully installed the ISO on the X1.5 running windows 10. Make sure you format the SDHC card to ntfs and that you have sufficient space on it. Hope this solves your issues. Otherwise I can't help very much more and I would recommend you refer to the internet further ;)
Great job! I found running the CMD from an Admin command prompt to be a bit less troublesome under Win10. Over all a solid process and I am seeing more life out of my X1 than I have in the last year it was sitting in my closet ;-)
+Fred Buecker Always a pleasure to help :)
Oh man. This is awesome. Only setup and install for miner software for the Black Arrow I can find!!!!
I like niche topics ;)
I will be trying this later this week thanks for the files and if it works I will let you know.
okay I got the image on the sd card card when it pulls up the first screen it is all in chinesse, japanesse or korean but can't read what it is doing. how long does it take to do the upgrade?
@@Xcision666 Hey I know we are 3 years later... but it should take about 30 minutes. Did it work it the end?
Hello I have 1 TH X3... loose password. Do you have a sdcard image for recovery please ?
Hey Yannick! Yes I just uploaded a new link :) Have a look at link 3
Boy are they making it hard for us mining hardos
I'm gonna try this, I'm stuck on the black arrow boot logo ;(
+scienide77 Happens to me regularly when I get a power outage or someone pulls the plug... So anoying
hello do you have the user manual for the X1?
+Glenn Schubert Hi I do, go to: www.blackarrowsoftware.com/download/X-1%20Prospero%20(Control%20Board%20-%20Original%20Design)%20User%20Instructions%20v1.3.pdf
can you also help me setup remote monitoring (API listen)
i do have setup the cgminer.conf with api
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://*********.pool.com:3333",
"user" : "user",
"pass" : "X"
}
],
"minion-ledlimit NN" : "99",
"minion-freq" : "1000",
"minion-chipreport" : "0"
"api-listen" : true,
"api-port" : "4028",
"api-allow" : "W:10.0.0.0/24,W:127.0.0.1"
}
my network ip range is 10.0.0.1 to 50 :)
miner is mining with this setup but i did not manage to setup and connect a monitor software on windows
and im still looking for a android version
i hope you can point me to the right direction
hmmm, tried 3 sd cards, all give me : failed to write MBR ... is the tool working under windows 10?
+scienide77 Sorry for the late answer I've just figured out how not to miss messages anymore :S Well I was thinking maybe you're not running the boot maker as an administrator. But if you are maybe you should scheck that the microSD cards are the right ones. Also there are new lnks available in the description if you need them!
Hope you have fixed the problem by now anyways!
Well not really, the miner has been dead in the water .... i suspect the power supply to work as it should, still need to try a replacement power supply ...
Thanks for the reply!
@@scienide77DId it work out? I just posted a new link in the description in case!
@@CHSWEUSA it's been 5 years, I already trashed the machine. But thanks for the reply!
Hey BTW, you can update your prospero this way too!
+The Green Bandit The link does not work anymore
I had a look and I thank you for telling me I have found an other resource to get the link from it is www.mediafire.com/download/3thj3855crfej7t/SD_Firmware_Tool_1.4_with_sdboot_1.17%262.07.zip
@@kevinheimann7664 link updated again!
Hey,
Do you have images of older versions too?
Yesterday I had to update my prospero X-1, because I forgot my password, but since it is not working properly.
(Unfortunately I do not know what was my older version ...)
Thanks!
Hey
I just added a new link which worked for me. Let me know!
hello guys i got a x1 and the control board started act funny i could not mine with it so i contacted the company they told me take out the control board and reprogram it so i got the tool to do so from them but when i tried to do it it started to smoke is there anything i can use to control it maybe a pie any help please
Hmm, seems dangerous. Sorry but I can't recommend you try running it. But if you are really set on it, then you can putty in to it to try and see if anything is working.
I got a error when trying to install the new firmware.
The error is showed in Chines, but it is the gravity error (thanks to google translate)
The error is showed in the PCBA test.
Do you have a solution for me?
+R de Gier Hello R, thank you for your question. Unfortunately I believe your ASIC's hardware has failed and it is not possible to fix it. Well anyway hope this works out for you.
+The Green Bandit Hello, thanks for the answer. Do you know a way to skip the pcba test and install the firmware direct?
Because I don't need the gravity sensor to make bitcoin ;)
+R de Gier hi sadly I do not know how to do that. the only way I got help was on forums and countless hours of research. I know this may be disappointing to you but I would recommend trying to use another miner.
Does anyone have V1.18? My miners that are on 1.18 get 125-150 Ghs but the ones that are 1.17 only get 50-7- Ghs
Hey! Try the latest link at the bottom of my description. I'm getting 180 GH/S
The Black Arrow website is down. Do you have a copy of the firmware?
hi! sorry no I provide the official links above ;)
+The Green Bandit and there's the rub, the official website is no longer up. So those files aren't available there. If you have them, it would be the only chance I have to get my miner running again.
I have posted the new link in the description I just downloaded it yesterday to check and it works.
+virtualnobody Check out the description it took me an hour to find it for you but I am very resourceful when it come to the internet and finding alternatives to tricky situations. Tell me if it worked out for you.
Hey! New link in description give it a shot! Let me know if it worked :)
by any change do you have a firmware update for the x3 with lcd by sd or usb?
+Glenn Schubert Hi Glenn, so sorry but unfortunately not... I'm sure you can find someone online who does. If anyone reading this does let Glenn know ;)
but is the firmware from the 1.5 not similar of the 3?
I am in search of x3 sd card please
hmmmm, it still fails.... I've now tried 3 different systems (2x win10 and 1x win 7) and multiple microsd cards, but everytime it fails with writing MBR failed.
+Marco Sevriens please try this on a different computer sometimes privileges and OS's make things fail.
I managed to get it to work.. however the entire prospero has died a couple of days later .... The power supply doesnt show a light when turned on .. if i remove the power supply from the mainboard it does have a green light...
+Marco Sevriens Hmm I don't know what that means... why not try another power source like an old PC power supply?
Could try that yes... but it's a lot of work and no guarantuee it will work ....
Maybe on a boring weekend i'll give it a shot ;)
@@MarcoSevriens DId you ever get it to live?
I FOUND A FIRMWARE UPDATE NO GUARANTEE BUT TRY IT OUT:
