My did exactly what yours is doing. See the last post on page 6.

You can reinstall the previous firmware (Firmware v1.8.80)
Just load it on your sd card.
I did this multiple times between the two, and every time the Firmware v1.9.60 failed and Firmware v1.8.80 worked.

Same here.
My DJI APP V 2.8.1 on Android still shows 1.8.80+ after successful update according to .txt file.

Did not fly since.

I have same problem.  The Drone is 10 feet away and my video transmissions is spotty.  Never had this issue before upgrade.
deleted the app and reinstalled.  Won't know till tomorrow if it works for me.  Someone posted that it worked for them.  Honestly, this is not differenent that almost all of my stuff when I upgrade they seem to break something.  I'm sure eventually they will get it all right, but hope my drone doesn't fall out of the sky before that happens.  Seems they add new features and other things don't work.  Very typically of technology.  Programmers can't test all scenearios.

Anyone who has upgraded to firmware v1.9.60 was all right ??? It seems that everyone has problem !!! I will leave with my same old version . It's working correctly.

So I tried updating today and now I get the "no video transmission". Everything else works, can take off, fly and film, but have no idea what it's filming. Did this update just break my P3?!

These intelligent functions are still there. You can find them when the drone is switched to F mode and touch the remote button on the left of the screen which is above the attitude indicator.

So in attempting to get the log file it actually updated. I guess 9th times the charm.

Hi, I updated mi P3A with the last 1.09.0060 FW, and I received the Success at the log, but when I check the log inside the MISC folder, I see a " [00013639][11 01][00] v1.8.0.0 -> v2.0.0.33, firmware v1.8.0.0 not support."
This message in the log is normal ? I mean the message said "firmware 1.8.0.0 not support", is it normal or do I need to update something else?

Thanks

Try to relink the RC and drone:

I  have been trying everything on the forums to get my phantom 3p to fly since the firmware upgrade, there were no issues with range on the quarry's that I video on for the last 2.5 yrs but now I get no or weak video intermittently at anywhere from 4 to 499 m which ain't good when trying to do continuous video etc, so with heavy heart I will be purchasing the typhoon h today, very sad but finding these upgrades problematic with work. Any advise on whether typhoon has issues.

Not sure about the actual quality of Typhoon drone, but the customer service seemed problematic, maybe on the 2014 levels of DJI (DJI has improved a lot since then).


If your DJI plane can't fly due to firmware issue, simply do a free exchange with DJI and it takes less than two weeks.

First flight with 1.9.60 was simply excellent. No problems at all!

should the controller or bird be updated first?
Well, I went ahead and tried updating the controller firmware first but it failed with the message "Failed to upgrade. Current version: 1.6.0 Upgrade version 1.6.0"
I'm guessing I need to upgrade the bird first?

Nevermind, either I'm stupid or the manual is stupid. It looks like the latest controller version is 1.6.0

                                          GO app                           Aircraft            Remote Control
Phantom 3 Professional        Android 2.8.1, iOS 2.8.3        1.9.60 (previous 1.8.80)        1.6.0
Phantom 3 Advanced        Android 2.8.1, iOS 2.8.3        1.9.60 (previous 1.8.80)        1.6.0

Update:I couldn't wait for help from you guys so I just went ahead and follow the video and manual instructions.
Surprise, surprise...... everything went okay...I think

This looks okay right? I updated the bird and three batteries.

Hi, excuseme for my english....
How did you do the reset?

NEED HELP!
I got some problems.
After I updated my RC to 1.6.0 and aircraft to 1.8.8.0,  I can't operate my drone more than 30 meters away, cant go further. And always got lost signal after that. How can I fix that ?

Note: I'm using dji phantom 3 pro

Just updated my P3A with 2 batteries and I now get a new message on iPad and I can NOT confirm either option nor will the screen message go away after rebooting the app. The "confirm" block will not result in the message accepting my checked indicator. Now what????

Might as well go to the next firmware version release. Post the log file

why is it such a ball ache for firm ware updates on these?
I'm using  a mac book pro, download the firmware, tried opening it, only another smaller bin file comes out. Tried with this new smaller file, as well as original larger bin, neither update. I get a few green blinks to start, then just stays solid green and does nothing.

tried with  a larger card, and seems to now be updating.

Ultra short video range and video frame rate problem!  sometimes it's 3 frame per second (not FPV, recorded video) can I downgrade it?

I have aP3advanced, and have updated it previously.  I have updated the RC, and the app.  I am trying to upload the new firmware to the aircraft, and have tried multiple times.  I have been in contact with DJI support, and chat, and I keep getting the same instructions.  I know what to do, but the green light on the front of the gimbal stays solid green.  The beeps don't change either, but the gimbal does go limp.  
I use the DJI website for the firmware download; extract the zip file, load the .bin file onto a formatted SD card, insert it into the aircraft;  start the aircraft with the .bin file in it, but it doesn't upgrade.  I have tried 3 separate SD cards, all formatted.  I have plugged the aircraft into the computer using the micro USB cord, and loaded the .bin file that way.
All to no avail, it does not update.  It shows the aircraft as needing the new firmware too.

What am I doing wrong?  Do I need to send it back for factory support?

Why do the firmware updates seem to cause so much trouble?  This is pretty frustrating, especially since the new part 107 rules take effect august 29, and I need the phantom to be ready to open my business.
Can you help?  What am I missing?
Rob

Found it, thanks

I have had enough with firmware upgrades, my phantom 3 pro looses video feed every couple of minutes now since firmware update at various distances and since I mostly do video it's no good, I have been flying the same sites in my job with no range issues for the past couple of years but now p3p is a brick so have bought myself a typhoon h and no issues with range at all on same sites
, lucky for me my inspire still flys beautifully because didn't do last couple of upgrades so I have one foot in each camp, love the inspire and used to love the pro but alas it has been retired and replaced with yuneec
typhoon pro ,come on DJI  I used to like your birds but if I can't use them it's time for a change

I thought I was the only person with the range issue on my P3 till I read multiple people with same issue!
Since the last firmware update 1.9.6 my range is very bad, only about 500meters and I lose video feed, it comes up on my screen with message that the signal is lost or to that effect, I have tried on 2 different devices. On one occasion my P3P came back to me via return to home and only returned signal when it was almost above me! I don't feel very safe with flying it because of this issue now. What needs to be done to resolve this.. how can I downgrade this bad firmware update? previous to this I was flying without any problems very far distances. I think its pretty obvious if multiple people are bringing up this problem there is a firmware issue not a hardware issue with the drone.. is DJI saying there was a bad batch? all I have done is a firmware update, since which these problems now occur.

do we need to update the controller to?
