The Firmware should always be on the SD card inserted at all times

Where did you read that? I can't jump directly from 1.1 to the new 1.3? That's mildly terrifying.

Thanks, that's what I thought.  First time I had seen otherwise.

Only with the App and RC:

Firmware update through the DJI GO app will not work with older versions of the remote controller firmware. If the firmware update fails, follow the instructions below to update the firmware using the traditional method:

So how can we officially downgrade to 1.1.9?

Hello there,
Say if you did not miss type...YOU DON`T PUT THE ZIP FILE ON THE MICROSD CARD...Just the extracted .bin file and it has to be on the root dir after you upgrade take a look at the card you should see a tex file read that to verify the end result then transfer the files on that card via usb connection to the RC and take a look after you run the update on it to read the new text files for the end result... for you info... this is how I do it and have had no issues ...

Hi All,

Just got a an answer to my question .

If you are also having syncing issues at 3% apparently DJI knows about this and it would be sort soon.

Fingers crossed its not going to take to long.......

I made a quick video on how to update your Phantom 3 and the RC. It may be useful to newbies. Hope this helps.
Here is the link to the thread: DJI Forum Thread

I would appreciate just an honest opinion for you, I have been dealing with the tilted horizon since May, when I got the Phantom.  Do you think that the issue will be fixed with a firmware update?  I'm holding off on sending it in for repair because I don't want to have to wait for many weeks & all of a sudden the issue gets fixed with a firmware update.   Thanks for all the great help & feedback you give us.

I have P3Prof. Just trying to update the first firmware. I downloaded the .bin file to the SD card and inserted it in the slot by the camera. I turned on the drone and got the beeps and yellow (green?) flashing light with red steady lights. This was an hour ago, and still the lights are flashing with red steady. I am down to two light bars on the battery. How long do I let it upload the firmware? How do I abort?

UPDATE
I finallly just turned it off, recharged the battery and then was going to refort the SD card and try again. I found a txt file on the SD card the advised me the firmware I had tried to upload aborted since it was the same as the one already loaded. OK, so I erased those two files (the .bin and the .txt) and uploaded the .bin for 1.2.6 to the SD and inserted it in the slot. Now I am getting yellow flashing and the D-D-D-D every two seconds. Red is steady. After about 15 minutes, I got the skipped beat tone that continued until I turned off the unit. I turned it back on, and the drone started up normally.

The drone firmware update was successful.

Now trying to update the controller. I placed the same .bin file on a thumb drive (that I had just formatted), inserted it in the USB port on the back, turned on the unit, and have a green steady light. I also turned on the drone and have green flashing lights on the rear pylons. No steady blue on the remote as stated in the instructions. I also tried turning on the drone and then the controller and stil lnot blue light.

Any ideas?

deborah.seline, the status light on the camera is the light you want to focus on. Review these detailed instructions:
http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/how-to-install-phantom-3-firmware-if-using-dji-go.50065

You can restart the installation process by turning off your Phantom and starting at #1 in the above instructions.
