[size=14.6667px]In a spot of bother folks!

[size=14.6667px]Tried updating my machine to firmware 1.3.2 because the advice is to do this before updating again to the all in one firmware 1.4.0010.

[size=14.6667px]However, the update failed a couple of times, and now all i get it this awful beeping on start up which sounds like the phantom is a ticking time bomb.[size=14.6667px]

[size=14.6667px]Video is here:

[size=14.6667px]Can anyone help? - I have tried different batteries and SD cards, nothing...

[size=14.6667px]I am not sure what firmware I am currently on, it was a version before 1.3.2, i think possible 1.1 something.

Just put the firmware on the SD card, power it on ( looks like the battery you have could do with charging ), and wait out the beeping..

Looking at the front of the gimbal..

If the light blinks RED/GREEN then its updating. Wait for it to go SOLID GREEN.

Make sure you have a fast enough SD card.

I have the same problem, the led on the board is a solid green but it does not seem to be updating.

I'm having a very similar issue with my standard.  Incessant beeping -- solid green light on gimbal but nothing.  I've waited hours.

I just got one for Christmas followed all directions and have the same problem. Mine did this right out of box. I spent 3 days trouble shooting with no luck. Tried different devices for app hook up, 4 fully charged batteries. Different memory cards and cable to computer several times for update. The light turned red like it was updating, but turned green within a few min. Reading how long it takes to upload says 25-30 min. I even kept the drone on for an entire length of a battery. None of this stopped the beeping. Not sure what to try next.  Is there a fix anyone knows of or should I send it back for a new one? Any help would be nice as this is my first drone.

I had the same problem.
Tried 50 times....but then i was lucky.

I took the SD card and formatted it on my PC.....right click then Format.
Be sure to format with FAT32 not FAT(standard)
It seemed to be wrong formatted by the quad.....

Hope this helps!
