I've had a Mavic Pro for years... so I know how to do the firmare updates, and I updated the old Mavic Pro last night without any issues using the same network/pc/phone I used below..

Bought a new Mavic 2 Pro today and just cant get the firmware update to complete...
The controller did update using DJI assistant after several persistent attemps but the bird just refuses.
Current M2P v00.06.0000, attempting to load V01.00.0000
My WiFi and Internet are working just fine.

I've tried:
1. using DJI Assistant v1.2.0 - the download runs for a variable amount of time then fails with "Update failed", "Network Error". I'm using the supplied cable both in USB v2 and USB v3 ports. Sometimes it even gets to 100% downloaded then fails.
2. Using the controller and a Samsung Galaxy S9+ with the side usb port and the big usb port in the middle - the update never starts and always reports "Network Error" I tried using both WiFi and 4G and get the same error.
3. I've tried every combination of usb/controller/one/both/fingers crossed etc but always the same error. restart between tries or not doesnt make any difference.

I've used up two batteries trying this this afternoon but no success,
Does anyone have any ideas of what else to try?
Can I download the file manually and put it on the SD card or something?

Thanks,
C

Exactly same here with samsung S9. I went the "assist 2" option on my pc, used the cable directly from usb port to bird and Presto, watched the lights flash for 10 minutes or more. Same process worked for the RC

I am having the same problem, but DJI Assistant 2 V2.0.0 also won't connect to my Mavic 2 Pro. I can see that it has connected to my PC and can access storage, but the Assistant program just continually displays the circular image showing the usb plug and arrows towards a computer port. It seems like the two aren't talking to each other. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the assistant software, but no better.

The remote must be off for Assistant 2 to work. Either that or update wirelessly via remote. If you have both connections, the update won't load.

Thanks, I tried this and again I can access the sd card and internal storage, so the drone and pc are connected, but the software doesn't reognise the connection and the drone LEDs just flash yellow.

Same thing if I connect the controller to the pc, it pops up as connected but the assistant software does nothing.

I have eventually done the firmware update successfully by using DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic, though it only worked on the second pc I tried and even then the drone update took three attempts (connection kept dropping out), though the RC worked first try. Not a relaxing experience!

I managed to get it to work by alternating between the DJI GO 4 app and doing several reboots, then doing the DJI assistant 2, then the GO 4 app again.
