Hi there,

bricked RC after Update shows vers. 0.00.000 n DJI Assistent 2 and cant bind nor update.
Found a replacment Remote cheap on bay, but before i spend another 200bucks i just want to ask here.
Will the RC with a older fw vers succsesfully bind to a AC with the latest Firmware? Any Firmwares out there are not
compatible to each other? will i run into any problems ?

As far as I know, there is no inter-dependence of f/w versions between RC and AC.

woooo hold on there. How do you know you cannot unbrick it? Someone might be able to help fix it.
Does it turn on? Is there a thread i missed you posted about this already? A little more info would help to fix it.

I just wonder if there is a sequence of button pushes/holds to get it into flash mode or mode to flash it.

What does the DJI Assistant say when you try to update it? May I know whether you use the mobile device or DJI Assistant 2 to upgrade the firmware for the first attempt? If it is a mobile device, may I know the specific name of it? Besides, please help to export the upgrade log and upload to Dropbox.
BTW, if you can recall it, please also help to list the RC's firmware before the update. Thanks a lot.

DJIA2 just stuck at 100% while downloadig firmware.. no transmission of firmware after that.  AC will refresh and upgrade with DJIA2 without any problems. i can fly it in wifi mode and it shows the latest firmware.

YEAH i got a replacement RC from a guy who lost his drone..its up and running.. instant bind without a hassle i will send the original bricked remote now to DJI Europe. But i really want to know what exactly went
wrong during the update process. just didnt expect a DAU( Death after Update) from such a big company.
biggest suprise was that there is no option to hard reset the RC.  is there  any bios battery in the RC? ..my idea..just cut the power of and that will eventually refresh the flashdrive on the RC?!

I use a UPS in case power goes out. Firmware flashing HAS to run it's course or bricks on anything.
