I have owned various DJI drones for a number of years now. My standard practice for firmware updates is to update, reset the craft to factory defaults, and refresh again. Admittedly, you may need to do the latter for each battery anyway, if the craft firmware update incorporates a new level of battery firmware (this is obvious on the P4 series, but it's harder to watch the battery LEDs on the Air). I also remove the SD card when doing updates so that I'm confident that Ass2 is installing the .bin file direct.
Why? Because I've applied firmware updates in the past where I've done it once and taken out for a flight test with cr@p results. Refreshing the firmware afterwards has stabilised the craft again. Even the instructions for the unsanctioned third-party installation software (Dumbled@re) states that the firmware must be installed twice. I believe it is something to do with how the downloaded firmware .bin file is unpacked into it's constituent controller parts and checked for integrity by Ass2 while applying. |
