I have had this same issue on another DJI FORUM. :Thanks for replying, I should kick myself in the head and research this more in these forums. I found that this is a glitch on behalf of DJI. I feel ashamed for not knowing better as I am a authorized DJI dealer and technician. I own 3 Inspire 1's and 4 Phantoms. I never had problems like this before. Just go's to show how DJI sometimes forgets to send this info to it's dealers first. If you have a B controller, You should be good to fly. I am told that this glitch will be fixed in the next update. No worries.. Just ignore the controller requires update in the pilot app for now and read up on the main screen thread titled Firmware with in the topics page.

Correction: I had the same issue on my RC and found this post on another forum is what I meant to say.

I am unable to update my firmware in my remote.  I have tried both ways to update with no success.  My aircraft updated correctly just not my remote.  Any ideas?

The new remote Version GL300B can not updated by USB !!! The next App will make the update.
