Im too afraid to turn it on lol. But from what I remember it never did forced me to update. I did that by connecting to Assistant. But i just dont want to risk at all.

It will never force you to update, unless you have data attached to your drone aka cell phone with the app on. But you still have to activate your drone, no way around it.

i think you should be fine but im not 100% sure i only have one briked fpv drone
this guy on youtube says that when they updated assistaint 2 to 2,1.1 they fixed what was breaking our drones (yet to fix the broken drones)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw1imj_uh0o

Well guess what?

All that info came from us, he got a notification from our member to take a look at our link provided and he made a video just to expose DJI and himself for more views...

All that info is us... Not him, he is more clueless and I'm sure he is backpacking our info as we speak.

I had received e-mail from DJI.
------------

In case you need to know more about why this may take longer than expect, hopefully I am wrong about it since all of us just want to fly.

If you are a software professional?

Explain this, firmware vs fly safely data?

Firmware vs database is a huge difference.  Firmware is like windows or android in a sense.  A database runs on or within the firmware similar to how a database runs on windows.  When these update the firmware it also updates the flysafe "database"  this is where the problem come from or at least what people are speculating.  The software engineers are the only ones who will likely ever know exactly what went wrong where.  So rolling back the firmware will still give a corrupted "database" since it is completely independant.

True. Damn! Lol This really sucks as I haven’t got around to fly it at all since I bought it. I should had kept my Autel pro at least I would be flying now.

Oh well. I guess there is nothing we can do except wait.

Thats also why you have periodioc flysafe updates when you connect.   This is simply updating the "database" without updating the firmware.  Kind of like updating your word processor software on your pc.  you dont have to update the entire operating system just to update the word processor.  hope this makes sense......

Well said, at least you understand more than others. I'm almost a commercial pilot myself and they get updates daily from air traffic control environment. That is why I think putting the fly safely database will take much longer in timeline.

But I really do wish I am wrong.

At this point, my point of view. I feel like I am doing a lot more than the Admins or Mods in this forum base platform. I do lots of research through all the companies I work for in the past, problem solving to product improvements is what I do best.

Properly inform for product owners should be first priority in my books. I have plenty of times on my hand since we are in a lock down and many business are not open fully, this is why I try my best to keep everyone up to date with this issues we are having.

I'm with you brother, weve been a lot better as a community with our communication then dji has.  I actually have more information then dji tech support thanks to the communities efforst to keep all informed. I was excited when you posted the youtube link: https://youtu.be/fw1imj_uh0o

Yes we dont have a solution yet but it's on the way. Glad they are realizing their mistake and taking responsibility kinda As a group we will work our forces. Next I guess we start calling news companies and exposing how bad of an issue this is. Im sure there are a few I can contact that would love to pry into dji. Lol we just want solutions dji!

yup as per prior post on the thread others have placed metal pots, tin foil around boxes and even metal buildings that block the GPS signal. Once you got the props going they stay on until you shut it off then you gotta do it all over for each battery.

I also would like to know if anyone see the issue with the AIR2S Unable to take-off (Code: 30064)
https://forum.dji.com/thread-242056-1-1.html as a possible connection to our issue?

I read somewhere on here it was a post quoted from DJI software division it said that Flysafe is releasing a revised update in 1-3 business days.  cross our fingers.

Thats not my link buddy, thats someone who is surfing through our conversation getting free info to make a post to get himself notice, but if that was my channel i would make sure everyone here gets the credit that all the information came from this forum... That guy is basically taking it and making himself look at his best.

I learned this from my own from last year when I first got my mini and turned on the motor indoors with no gps with a fly with caution but it still tried landing. I got my FPV started inside my basement parking lot and you have to get the motor started right away.

Everyone has different ways and experience to fly it but it's annoying...

Not sure what is going on here but have not flown my FPV in about a week.

Just got done flying about 10 minutes ago and all was fine.

Everything seemed to work as usual and it did not ask me to update anything.

Maybe I got lucky and they pulled the bad update.

Hey Guys !

May 11, 2021

Received new DJI FPV combo. Activated and updated via DJI Fly on Android device. Flying without any issues so far.

Is the Flysafe Database issue only affecting certain people ?

Hey Guys !

May 11, 2021

Try updating it again and lets see if its affecting certain people, thats the only way to figure out. Thats if you want to be a tester.

Because not many have updated it recently yet because the warning we all gave out. As the saying goes bad news travel faster than bad news.

So plug it in, apply that latest update that is waiting for you and let us know if its only certain serial fpv drone and if yours still works than we can give that info to DJI tech support.

Please helps us!
YonDel would like to know also

Lol. Yea I’ll give it a go. I have another 15 days to exchange for another one in bestbuy. Ok as soon as I get in I’ll do it. I’ll be in the house like in 45mins.

Any advice like if I should connect this or that first? Or just install everything like the manual says?

Ohhh crap buddy, are you the one who will do this test? I really don't want you to jump this building man, I preffer someone else.

Before you do so, take note of the fly safely data info from your settings in the goggles about info. Also the firmware info but you need to take that photo to post.

Yeah just do it as the manual would say.

But really bro? I don't want you to...
