Hi all,
I thought I'd share this info as I had a mini heart attack when my firmware update failed and was left unable to use the Go App to update the firmware.
When updating the firmware of my P3S, I lost Wi-Fi due to my phone deciding to switch connections part way through. It left me with multiple beeps from the drone and gimbal, really loud and constant. After reading through forums trying to rectify the problem I could see that I needed to try and update the firmware again.
Problem being the Go App kept saying my battery was below 50% and could not update. In fact the battery was fully charged, but the battery reading was showing 0% through the App.
Now you can't just download the firmware from DJI like you can with the Advanced or Pro, as apparently doing it through the App is easier and less hassle...unless something goes wrong!
Here's the solution to manually update the firmware on the Standard:
The Go App downloads the firmware to your phone ready to transfer to drone. I'm using a Galaxy S5, so I connected my phone to my PC and navigated to \Phone\DJI\dji.pilot\Upgrade\DLPackage In that folder you should see the latest firmware (if you did the first part of trying to update via the app): P3C_FW_V01.01.0030
Now remove your SD card and format FAT32 via your PC (or maybe via the App if you are able). Then copy P3C_FW_V01.01.0030 to the root of your SD card. Place the SD card back in your P3S and turn on. The beeps will return, but just let it be for around an hour. Hopefully the beeps will then change to D-DD, meaning firmware updated! Restart the drone and fingers crossed it now works!
After doing this I found that I had "no signal". Just needed to pair the controller to the drone using the option in the Go App, and then pressing the red led/button under the P3S.
All worked and took my first flight!
Hope this helps others who also have this problem.
D.
