Hello,

Yesterday I powered on the phantom 4 and on my display it showed that a firmware upgrade for the RC was available and started the update process.

Almost halfway through the app crashed and entered again into the app but I didn't saw the update process the RC was still beeping.

I left it like this for 20 minutes nothing happened. I then decided to power cycle the RC but when trying to power on I get a cyan led instead of green or red but no connection.

I performed some research about this issue even try ed firmware 1.6 with a USB stick but nothing happened.

Maybe I didn't understand this process.

The remote control model is GL300C.

I do not know which firmware the RC had prior to the firmware upgrade.

If someone can help me fix this issue.

Thank you

My GL300C RC firmware is 1.6.0 and it is also not possible to upgrade to 1.8.0 connecting my Iphone 6 to the RC via the DJI GO4 app pressing on the menu for 10 seconds. It shows installing for 5 seconds asking me to restart but after restart it's still 1.6.0

Generally, failed update will cause the cyan led. Please turn off the RC, hold on C1+C2+shutter button, toggle the ISO wheel. Then turn on the RC and connect APP to download the firmware to update again.

Good morning, after a control update I can not connect the phone to the remote control of phantom 4. When I connect it to the mobile it asks to change the DJI GO 4 application to the DJI GO and it seems that the firmware of the inspire 1 on my remote control, the control model is the GL300C, thanks for the tip of the photo and if anyone has a problem with how to solve the problem

Sir, have you tried my suggestion in 4#? Per the previous steps, you will see update message in Aircraft Status Bar. Please try several times and let me know whether it works.

Hi Susan , thank you for the quick reply. I tried  C1+C2+shutter button, toggle the ISO wheel but it doent seems to work, plus i dont have a cyan led on the rc. All leds on the rc are white and the last one of the battery status never stops blinking....as shown on video 20#. I will try again, if it fails and you dont have something else to suggest i will follow the steps on video 25#..

Good news and bad news... Following the steps of the video I managed to downgrade to RC  version 1.6 but unfortunately tje installation of the 1.8 version keeps failing. As a result I am not having white lights any more on the RC but I still cannot connect to the aircraft.

Odyseas, have you tried to update the RC firmware again? It seems that the aircraft firmware and controller firmware are still not matched. I would recommend you to change another recommended Andrdoid/iOS mobile to verify again. If no helps, please contact the support to send it in: http://www.dji.com/support

Ok bit the bullet and upgraded my P4 and RC doing exactly as my son did I got the two notifications when updating the p4 saying something about not compatible just pressed ok and it carried on till it said complete...calibrated IMU
went and test flew it 100% perfect steady as a rock
I followed this guide by my son..

[ The way I did it is probably different for what a lot of people say, but I’ve always updated my phantoms this way.

I plugged in my iPad and turned controller and iPad on. With no drone turned on.

I then updated the firmware on the controller and restarted it. Easy.

Then I turned iPad , controller and drone on and clicked the update firmware button on the go4 app home screen.

This told me to connect the device via the lead supplied. So I left everything turned on unplugged the usb from the rear of the controller and plugged it into the adapter lead and then the phantom. Then I thought I should turn everything off and back on. So I did.

Once all fired back up I pressed the update firmware button it started doing its thing.

I had 3 weird tings happen. But kept going and it said successfull.

1st and 2nd was a error message at around 94% it said something like this device is not compatible with the update. I clicked ok and it continued through to 95% then at 96% same error again I clicked on again and it continued to 97%.

Then at 97% the camera started going crazy up down left right side to side hard as well thought it was gonna snap but I had to let it go until it reaches 100% said successful or whatever and then turned everything off quick lol.

Fired it all up again and this time it said there was a geo fencing update. Did this in like 5 seconds restarted it all again and took it outside for a very quick test.]

since both of us updated been for a couple of flights using three batteries each the last day there was no wind at all both p4 hovered absolutely still and performed perfect even tested out the new enhanced option tripod mode and all other modes sport atti no issues at all both aircraft were purchased at the same place and time late April this year
