After purchasing a new Smart Controller I turned it on, logged on to my account and activated it. I was then advised by a popup that I should undertake a firmware update from version V01.00.0375 to V0100.0400. I then proceeded to do this, the firmware packet was downloaded successfully and an update began or so I thought, after 30 minutes the update was still showing 0% complete, I then tried several different ways of exiting the upgrade without success. I Finally managed by turning the device off, I tried again several times and after 3 hours or more I gave up. I then thought I would try DJI Assistant, so I downloaded the very latest DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic. After installing the program I attempted to connect the controller to my laptop, but the program would not recognise the controller, after about an hour of trying, success!! I had an Icon to click on, which I did. I then selected the latest version to down load which began, after reaching 100% the update began but failed almost immediately and displayed update failed, I looked at the error log and it revealed that the upload had failed. After spending thousands of dollars on your products I am once again suffering frustration after trying to undertake upgrades and the like.

Keep trying. Yes I know, igave up as well after numerous attempts. I switched it on last night and it completed the update in short time. I then updated the drone firmware with no issues at all.

Maybe the SC was updating all along but the rate of progress was not shown.

The absence of visual confirmation that a Post succeeded makes it difficult at times.

What I find interesting is that on a few occasions, after I post, I get an immediate redraw/refresh and my post shows up.  But that is very infrequent and I don't know what causes it.
