Every 2 minutes or so I get a notification on my mac that DJI Assistant has been upgraded, and that I should reboot.    I've rebooted a number of time.  I've rebooted the mac, and the Phantom...    Still, the assistant doesn't recognize the phantom and the notification keeps popping up.

I downloaded DJC GO on my iPhone (I use an NVIDA Shield to fly) and was able to downgrade.

But now using my NVIDIA Shield its not asking me to upgrade the controller again nor is it asking me too on the iPhone.  (Aircraft is at 01.01.0301 and RC is at 1.5.80.

Went to go fly my drone today and saw upgrade needed. Tried upgrading RC - that worked. Now the P4 keeps saying failed to upgrade on the DGI Assistant. Went through the thread and saw this is a few days old and no official update from DJI?

The firmware notes should not be an after thought! I saw the DJI Inspire 1 update firmware e-mail, and I went to do it through my remote. Now, it won't fly or enter Travel mode. I see the note says this could happen...WHY ISN'T THIS HIGHLIGHTED much higher in the e-mail, and/or a note made in the Firmware Update warning in the DJI GO APP?

So, what do I do? My Inspire 1 won't enter travel mode, nor fly...

Hi Ken,

updated on saturday 9th. Updated Inspire first, resulted in solid "DDDD" with failure notice in txt file. Tried again, same result. Reformatted card, downloaded bin file again, tried a 3rd time with a different battery and failed as well as deeming the power indicators on the battery dead.

DJI chat checked the log file and said that the battery and video module was now not working. Gimbal  being sent back to DJI for repair. Aircraft and battery fixed by installing update again with a different gimbal.

Case number is  CAS-117089-G5Z2L2 - if the log file is not with the case number let me know and I will post. Cannot seem to add the file as an attachment. As it is quite long, do you want me to just copy and paste into reply? Thanks Ken

The hidden log file just go ahead and post it if you want but if you already talked to support and they saw the log file and said it was your video transmission module then there's really no reason for me to look at it as they already found the issue.
And I cannot look at EU support info, I can only see US info.
It may look like you have module 8 and 15 Device Not Detected.

I'm sorry about your crash, possibly the gimble cables came loose if you said sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If the two ribbon cables are plugged in tight to the gimble plate then there is probably internal damage you would need to contact support or if you provide your email I can contact someone for you but it won't be until tomorrow. If you start a ticket now, someone may get back to you before tomorrow.

Do I have to do the upgrades for the inspire 1 in a linear order or can I skip older versions of the firmware and just upload the newest version?.  I put my drone away in October and missed a couple of the upgrades.  I cant fly until I upgrade the firmware. What should I do?

This is great. Recieved my P4 2 weeks ago...updated the firmware...and since then I haven't taken off once.
I went ahead and did the latest updates...all it says now is RC signal lost.
The support doesn't answer to my mails wwithin 2-3 days. Also, the german support hotline is a joke. It has an recorded
voice greeting you and then pretending that there is something wrong with the phone conneciton, refering to the email address...funny part is that they recorder 4-5 different people in german and english...they repeat after a couple of calls.

THANK YOU GUYS. I was planning on using this thing for a production. I'm considering throwing it away.

OK.. here is the procedure to "unbrick" your inspire 1.
My configuration : Inspire 1 / X5


"
1. Downgrade RC to 1.5.8 ( see other forum posts on this) or whatever version you had last to operate the system (done from ipad, not working from Android for me)
2. Turn on AC
3. Exit Travel Mode (!) Hooray
4. Turn off  AC
5. Format SD Card (check for DCIM files first)
6. Put 1.8.00 bin file on it
7. Insert SD Card into Camera
8. Turn on AC
9. Let it go until it goes DD-D-D - about 15 mins
10. Restart AC
11. Start RC
12. Upgrade RC to 1.6
"


My Inspire and the RC are now reconnected !!!!

I have done both reinstalling the app according to your instructions, put on the new firmware version 1.8.1 and the latest app for Android ver 2.7.2.
Has also for IOS 2.7.1 and RC is upgraded
The the camera loses contact after takeoff, the picture is visible but I can not take pictures or film.
Have tried both with DJI GO IOS and Anroid

Nothing happens when I press the button for photo / film.
Sometimes it is the symbol of the SD card marked as broken, have tried several SD cards and even reformatted the card without any difference

This was tough for me too because drivers for the aircracf and the remote controller are different and my updated DJI GO app on iOS did not upgade my RC automatically (bug in the new DJI GO app version for iOS users).
So I have found this useful link for RC upgrade to 1.6 ver. after you upgrade your Phantom 3 aircraft:
https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/ ... _FW_V01.06.0000.bin

Download it to the root folder of your USB flash then while aircraft and RC are off insert the USB flash to RC’s USB port then turn your RC on and upgrade will begin. Wait for several seconds while LED indicator turns blue and beeps then red then it goes green. Turn the RC off and back on, turn your upgraded Aircraft on and you are ready to fly again with encrypted signal for safer flights.

Fly safe and enjoy good moments with DJI, folks ;)

Despite reboot, the download on DJI Assistant fails at 25% every time......
I decided to try the update on a different computer.  I loaded up DJI Assistant 2 on my laptop and although the upgrade still failed, it got to 100% this time. (The desktop would only load to 21%).  So I went back to my original desktop computer and uninstalled the DJI Assistant Software, rebooted, downloaded and reinstalled it.  This time the P4 updated quickly and easily - I tested it with the remote controller and it's working fine now.

It seems that the DJI Assistant 2 software was the cause of my update problems. The original updates at the time of purchase loaded fine, so I don't know why it failed on this subsequent update.

Finally got the upgrade to work for me. The DJI Assistant 2 program (Windows 10)  was annoyingly useless this time, and I, assuming the upgrade process would go as smoothly as it did when I originally recieved and upgraded my Phantom 4 just updated the RC first. After upgrading first I attempted to update the AC with the DJI assistant 2 program like I had last time but it routinely failed. So after 20 some attempts and a dozen or so restarts of my PC and AC/RC I opted instead to attempt upgrade from the DJI Go app on my Ipad Mini 4. Results were the same as everyone else, the download failed routinely. So after that and reading some responses, I did what everyone else having the problem did, I downgraded my RC and then upgraded my AC from the DJI go app and it worked perfectly. Then I just upgraded the RC and I was all squared away (have not flown yet after the upgrade).

So anyone else with a Phantom 4, I highly recommend upgrading the AC first before the RC. Also I recommend reading the forums first to see what issues others have been having which is something I'll be doing from now on before just jumping right into something acting like I know what I'm doing.

Help I did the dumb thing and did not read first. I power up both RC then Inspire 1. Message popped up and says RC need firmware upgrade. Did the up grade and then tried to take out of travel mode. Found out to late to update Inspire 1 first. Now I cannot get it out of travel mode. I also try to upgrade Inspire 1 through camera but camera does nothing, no moment calibration. Blue lite is on solid.
I then manually turned the screw yoke and took it out of travel mode thinking that would work.

Please help ASAP I have a project site we are using the new XT FLIR in two days! Need this Inspire to work!
