Worthless is right! I wrote to the support group in China and copied the US support group. I be ...
To be very clear, 1.0.48 was not the culprit, it was a version upgrade after 1.0.48 that did the screw up to your RE's. I still have 1.0.48 on an iPhone that I have been using with the Phantom since 1.0.48 came out that is fine and never has it tried to push anything or upgrade my RE. I have been using it for at least a year or near a year without issues. With many of the other past botched firmware updates by DJI I simply chose not to update past 1.0.48 and no issues, I have auto updates on my phone turned off etc...and there were five updates between the 1.0.48 and the new 1.0.6 and one of which caused this debacle (which I believe based on the attached image is 1.0.56 as it states "support range extender upgrade"), now 1.06 is out and many that had the iOS auto updates turned on had the botched firmware update pushed to their RC's, sorry but I think you are screwed and will have to send them in for repair unless DJI takes it on your word and they simply send you out a new/repaired one. Unfortunately, DJI are very unresponsive and not proactive in any way, always waiting till Shite hits the fan and then run and hide.
With your RE already fried/locked up so to speak, it is likely the new 1.0.6 will simply be a safe haven for those that did not update past 1.0.48. I will test this tomorrow or Saturday with another iPhone and my back up RC with RE which is a known working pair with 1.0.48. I will install 1.0.6 on my second iphone and go for a flight and see what happens, if it flies and does not try to push anything to my RE, no problem, if it does, no problem as I still have my other phone with 1.0.48 and another RC with RE with a long range antenna that works great also.
I had lost my original I Phone back up and was simply trying to get another copy of 1.0.48 for my second iPhone that I wanted to use exclusively for the Phantom, as it turns out I did get a copy from someone on here but an internal code in the apple ipa does not permit me to use it on my phone with my iTunes account as it is locked to another's iTunes account.
In short, of your RE is already fried and unless the new 1.0.6 tries to push a new update to your "fried" RE and is successful then you are hooped and will have to phone DJI to get it repaired.
Sorry for the troubles but this is on DJI. I really wish they would take ownership of their problems, so many are frustrated and if not looked after I too would be looking elsewhere for my next drone. |
