I received my Mavic Air 2 yesterday and upgraded the software. Then the unit failed to pass the activation

Tried to refresh the firmware through DJI assistant but no luck

Different WiFi routers , mobile LTE , or through VPN to US U.K. or China and nothing worked

Changed my iPhone to samsung and also nothing worked

Looks like many customers are facing the same issue since yesterday as you can see from the posts in this forum

I think the unit is not able to send any of its information to the activation server since the error appears instantly after accepting the terms and conditions , or this specific batch of drones didn’t pass the quality control check before leaving the factory

Serial number attached / error code for reference

Please accept our sincere apologies for the troubles with the activation, we have detected an abnormal activation of your aircraft and unfortunately, it cannot be solved remotely. It is recommended to contact your reseller or DJI support http://dji.com/support for the replacement service, sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Can you please confirm if this is the case for all air 2 drones that display this same error code?

We keep hearing that the SN number may well have to have a replacement but is there more of a possibility that the SN's or server problems are on the way to be fixed?

Sorry that I didn't see your serial number, could you please post again?

Not the server problem, the drone needs a replacement service, if you have the same activation failure issue, please keep us updated with your serial number.

Hey, I have the same problem, spoke to dji customer sillier and they can't say what the problem is just that it's a known problem. How far have you managed to get with the process of having it sent back?

i have the same issue.

The error I get is number 1112. I bought the Mavic Air 2 on Amazon. It refuses to activate despite following all the steps.

I have upgraded to latests FW on the Mavic Air 2 and the on the Battery, I've also tried 2 different phones, a Samsung Galaxy S7 and a Samsung Galaxy S10 (the S10 worked best). The application shows Zero fly zones at my current location, at home. Would this stop me being able to activate my Mavic Air 2?
As the other users have said I was extremely excited to fly today.

Hi VipX1, sorry for the trouble with the activation, may we have the serial number for your drone for further verification?

Hello Mindy,
I have the same error with my new DJI Mavic Air 2.
Can't activate.  Error number is 1112.

My Serial #: 3N3BH4L002027Q

Could you check that for me?
How can this little problem need to exchange the whole drone?
I need to travel in this week.  Not time for exchange.

Thank you very much!

Ben

Hi Ben, sorry to know you have the same problem, your drone needs to be replaced, please contact the reseller or DJI Support team www.dji.com/support for the replacement service, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to your vacation.

I was very excited to fly this drone.
if this can't be done remotely then it's of know use to me anymore.
I bought 3 of this and all have the same issue.
this whole mavic air2 is causing big problems.
to be honest this people are not serious I think they know this product is faulty and still sold it to customers because this is not new to dji.
this is frustrating.

Hi Seraph8, I have sent you a PM, please check it. Thanks.

I just replaced the gimbal and front vision sensor on my Mavic air 2, due to a crash. And now I cannot bind my account. This is the error code: 0xffd.

I ran into the exact same issue today, updated firmware and tried resetting everything with no luck.

Can you please confirm what the next step is to address this? Just spent $800 with zero ability to fly this thing....

Hello, there. Sorry for your inconvenience. May we double confirm whether you changed the gimbal by yourself or other unauthorized repair? If yes, we would recommend you apply for an online repair request and send it back for repair. Here is the link: https://www.dji.com/support/repair?from=store_footer
