so...i down graded back to the previous firmware..and all is now fine again.
i thought i may have to figure someway of down grading the firmware on the remote but i did th A?C only and all appears good.gave it a few quick flights and i'm happy with it again.
there is definitely a bug in that new firmware alright.

Hello there. We apologize for the inconvenience. Can you elaborate the errors or malfunctions happened after the update?

yes of course..i ran the update with both a/c and r/c switched on and the update on the screen said 100% etc.
restarted both a/c and r/c and held the power button on the spark for 3 sec till it did a single beep.then held the pause +Fn+custom button on the r/c to start the linking process..no joy.
repeated this process around 6-7 times and decided there was an issue.
so i downgraded the firmware to the previous release and did the same connection process...worked first time.
took the spark out for a few test flights and all was good.
hope this helps.

no avoid the update if you are an iOS user, thats my opinion

Thanks Jeetley, for your reply.

I avoid even the Spark Firware Update too ?

That really sucks. I would have thought that DJI should try to update within DJI in using IOS and Android devices (possibly the most popular device, though I understand it is much easier to test in IOS with limited device compared to android)

I respect users that become the first adopters of firmware updates being very very brave souls indeed. Hats off to you guys.

I suggest that first the AC update is done. direct Device AC connected or with Assistant 2
I am on android, so I prefer assistant 2 anyway, but that is not the main reason:
Even connecting the device wia wifi direct to the AC will probably get you a safer process.
Because after the AC is updated, only the RC needs to be done, AC-RC-Device connected.
I updated today, Bird with assistant 2, but had massive trouble to get the RC updated.
In the end and after a couple of "AC disconnected", LED double blinking and failed, failed, ...,
I decided to use the OTG cable.
Restarted all DJI components and got it connected like in the past 6 month.
And Go4 updated very easily the RC.
Now I need  to check how that works out, midair.

So you suggest to update the RC via DJI GO4 App instead of the DJI Assistant 2.0 ?

I think Antipaxi update his Remote via DJI Go4 App too in his last post ? Or am I wrong ?
