Hello corymmartin, Please try to follow below method to update the RC again.
Turn on the controller, and the aircraft should be off.
Press C1, C2, record and the wheel on the right side of the controller and then turn off the controller.
Don’t let go of any fingers, and turn on the controller. Then the controller will be able to update again.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.Since you have tried all basic troubleshooting, it's better to sent in to our service center for further analysis and fixing.

Given that the aircraft updated alright, you would just need to send in the RC. I understand that this can be frustrating, but the North American Support team will get you up and running in no time.

Cory,

Did you ever get yours working? Mine's doing the same thing and of course all DJI can come up with is to try a reset and then send it in.

I have the exact same problem.  I went out to fly today and got a notice to update the controller firmware.  It went to 100% then told me to restart the controller.  NOw all I get is a white light and it will not connect.  I have tried resetting according to these instructions.

Hi cory gee when you say you only have to hit the power once on the rc  to turn it on, thats really odd' sounds like a firmware issue alright..have you tried rolling back to previous?

The controller will not connect to the app or to the DJI Assistant 2.  I have tried the C1+C2+RECORD+ISO WHEEL reset and that does not work.  I have tried loading a firmware BIN file onto a USB stick and then rebooting the controller.  

Nothing works.  This controller seems to be bricked.

All the more reason to just take a new one out of the box and fly, without messing with anything

FIXED:  This combination of buttons worked for me.  As soon as I re-started the remote everything came back up and A/C and R/C linked.  Time for a test flight.

I kept all buttons depressed through out the turning off and on process.

Turn on the controller, and the aircraft should be off.
Press C1, C2, and shutter on the controller then turn the controller off.
Turn on the controller and try to do the update again.

I solved my issue by plugging into a different operating system device - in my case I always used Android phone, and I managed to finish the upgrade successfully only by running the app on iPhone.
So try changing your devices. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem - the remote controller firmware update failed, I got the very light blue light and could not re-run the updater.  I was using my Samsung Nexus 10 tablet, and on a whim, I remove it, got my LG G6 phone, installed the DJI GO app on it, and connected it up.  I was able to turn ON the remote controller, run the DJI GO app and run the firmware update for the remote controller from that device.  I thought the DJI GO app on my tablet was the most recent, but after my success with the LG G6 phone, I delete the app on my tablet and re-installed it.

The contortionist C1-C2-Record-Right Wheel-POWER BUTTON thing did not work, no matter how many times I tried it.  Heaven forbid you have small hands!  DJI really needs to rethink that one thru...

Thank god I saw your post. I used your approach to fix my RC error. I was updating my RC and AC with iPhone X (iOS 11.1.2) and it failed. Messing around with resetting things for a day, finally, I used Android phone instead of iPhone. Voila, I can downgrade/upgrade firmwares on RC.

P.S. If you use iPhone, make sure you use original lightning cable or at least MFI certified cable.
