Hello all,
I've been trying unsuccessfully for a couple of days to update the firmware on my P3P, I dowload the zip file and try to extract the contents and it says it doesn't exist(on my Mac). I then went to my dad's house to use his PC, since I thought there was an issue with the software not being compatible, however, the PC told me that the file was not decoded correctly or uploaded correctly, and this is directly downloaded from DJI. Now that I've tried 2 different platforms and get the same results, I'm completely lost. I've been looking at videos and reading forums nonstop, yet I can't get this. I know I'm new to DJI, but I'm not new to my computer, since so many other people have had similar issues, I don't feel like a complete idiot, but would still like this resolved. Thanks for any help I can get in advance guys.

I just downloaded Phantom 3 Professional Firmware v1.10.90 from this link to test and the bin file uncompressed correctly -> Click this link to download the ZIP file.

Try downloading the ZIP file again to ensure your copy isn't corrupted and try uncompressing again...

Still no luck!!! Running El  CAP 10.11.6 on my iMAC. I have downloaded 5 different unarchivers and tried using them all, but still it won't completely unzip. I can get one file and then I open that one and it's just a copy of the first one and the cycle continues, no matter how many times I open it.

That's a copy of the file and what I keep getting and that's from the one you sent me in the dropbox. I'm ready to take a 2x4 and toss it up and give it a good swing......

I may have gotten lucky, just connect the drone to the computer and the red indicator light is blinking, although the beeping is not doing like the youtube videos indicate. It's just a slow D........D..........D not the D....DDD that was shown on the video. So I'm wondering if there's another issue

That scares me

The bin should be copied to a freshly formatted SD Card and placed into the camera.

Take a quick look at this for reference -> How to upgrade the P3 - pay attention to the P3 icons as this is a general guide for several aircraft models...

There is no need to open the bin file. Try to format the SD card, then copy the bin file to the root directory of the SD card, insert the SD card into the drone.
