If you push the control sticks to the bottom inside corners do the motors spin up?  Once spinning add throttle should make it take off straight up.  If it wants to flip check that the props are in the right location.  (look at the white markings)

Have you checked IMU values in app, and have you giving time for IMU to warm up before trying to start.

Did you catch the reason? Three returns for what?  Props on the wrong motors.  This should be one of the first things the support guys should ask.  Second time this week I have come across this problem.

OMG - thats worrying! Three returns for that! That is one good thing about the Mavic Pro - you can't put black props on white motors as they won't lock into place whereas this safety feature is missing off the MA. I do suggest your read the manual as doing so would have saved you all of this!
