OK, first of all, the post from Mad_Angler1 saved my bacon (for now) and I am now able to access my bird. But I need help so see my story below!
I have not flown in nearly 2 months. Beautiful day so I charged up all of my batteries last night and went out first thing this morning.
The DJI app told me a FW update was required so I let it. Mistake #1
The app updated my RC and then hell was born. I no longer could connect to my bird (It is an original V1).
I visited DJI's site and saw there were (2) updates, the 1.7.0.90 and the 1.8.1.00. I figured newer the better so I download 1.8.1.00. Mistake #2
I pulled the micro SD out of the gimbal, plugged it up and extracted the new BIN to it and plugged it back into the gimbal. Powered on.
After about 1 minute of the D-D-D-D-D-D, there began a Duuuuu with a buzz like sound. I felt my heart sink. But I let it stay that way for a bit just in case. No good.
So, I powered off and checked the log on the root and in the hidden folder. It said the FW was corrupt. Hmmm.
So I downloaded 1.7.0.90. Mistake #3.
Same steps, replaced .BIN on root of SD with new one, put back into the gimbal, powered on. Less than a minute of D-D-D-D-D-D then Duuuuu with a buzz like sound.
I got on here, found this thread, and that is when Mad-Angler1's post saved my bacon. Using the "press and hold Academy", the app allowed me to downgrade my RC from 1.6 back down to 1.5.8.
Communications restored!
But now, everytime I power on the bird, it tries to install the FW on the SD and then fails. The DJI keeps telling me a FW update is required.
But I am stuck!
I saw a post from Dudleypwright with step by step but it will not work for me.
Does anyone have ideas about getting the firmware to update on the bird?
I will refuse to send this back to DJI for "repair" and will scrap it and put it up for sale before I send it off for 6-8 weeks.
Thanks for your read and any help will be appreciated.
