FWIIW, the latest firmware for both the S1 and EP breaks the root hack. If you try to run the root script it raises an exception with the message:

"Thank you for making us progress together"

I guess this was directed at me  ;)

I would believe the message if they had added SDK support to the S1 which they did not so nothing progressed on DJI's end. In any case, I found another backdoor and I am experienting with a more durable way to get SDK support (basically by actually turning an S1 into an EP.

I will let you know when I have news. I will not explain the new root backdoor until I do because otherwise DJI might also just plug it again. Sorry.

Hello!

Thanks for the info. I was wondering the same thing, I have both an S1 and an EP and the hardware looks almost identical. If there is a way to convince the S1 one to be an EP then that would be the best way to go. Why DJI is not doing that to start with is completely beyond me. Only makes people think that its for commercial reasons but who knows. At the very least there should be an official statment about this to clear up any specualtion on way or another. I think people deserve that at least.

In any case if you need any help please get in touch.

Quick update: It does not mean much but I got the Robomaster app to think the S1 is an EP and everything still works. As I have multiple S1s and now also an EP, I just went the brute force approach and asked the app to upgrade the firmware (to the EP one). That did not work (it fails some validation check) but I guess it is progress.

Hello , I recently bought Robomaster S1 for my project. I am trying to connect it with USB to use SDK with the hack you posted. But it didnt help. I got stuck in the first step itself. Do you think this is possible to do with S1 or should I buy an EP robomaster. I am  not sure. Can you help me?

The latest version of the firmware blocked the existing root hack as I mentioned. If you want to be sure you will have SDK support now, you will need to get an EP.

I will be needing its values into PC, so probably I will not be able to do it now. Thank you for the reply.
