Got my advance phantom 3 couple weeks ago and just got around to set it up and turn it on. According to the screen of the DJI Go i have to upgrade my firmware so today idownloaded the version 1.32 and it has been running for about 1 and 1/2 hrs now and the status lights are still flashing. The document that came with the firmware said it will take
around 25 minutes for the update to complete by mine has upgrade has been running for about 1 and 1/2 hrs and it is still running (by looking at the flashing of the status lights). So my question is how long does it actually take? should i stop the process now since it has been running for 1 and 1/2 hours?
Any suggestions or pointers would be much appreciated. Can't wait to have this thing up and running.

I downloaded the p3a version 1.3.2.
Well I was brave enough to stop and took the card out. To my surprise the text file says:
Packet: P3S_FW_V01.03.0020.bin
Upgrading ...
Result: Success.

So i move on and downloaded the 1.4 version and it is running right now. I am keeping my finger crossed. Thanks for your reply.

Its the light on the front of the gimbal that you need to look at. Flashing RED and GREEN means upgrading, SOLID GREEN means completed.

Hope 1.4 goes well for you also
