Hi team. I'm wondering if one of the previous P4 beta firmware testers still have their P4 on v2.00.0012?

Bumping back to top. Hey, surely everyone on the Beta wasn't That keen...

Just bumping PunchBuggy's thread. If we can find a beta tester that still has access to the original beta firmware, they might hold the golden ticket. Please come forward beta testers!!

wrong file

Hi Jesper. You lost me. Are you saying that you still have a P4 with the beta firmware?

I have posted a link to my backup off the beta firmware.

Just to double confirm, this is the  bin for the original firmware from earlier this year v2.00.0012 ?

Sorry my files are in a mess...i will fix it.

I looked in the header of the bin it says 02.00.0106. Sadly, that's not what we are looking for. We are trying to find someone that is still on the ACTUAL beta firmware that predates this official release. That way we can roll back to the firmware which is hopefully more stable than 02.00.0106

Doesn't look like we're getting very far in our quest, does it pal? Where have all those beta testers that were so vocal during Wold War I gone??

You're right SED. I have to assume that all the Beta testers were too keen to update, like I did... I should have started with a poll perhaps. That way we knew how many Beta testers looked at this thread but didn't respond due to already having updated.

Oh it would be so nice to have that beta firmware. Surely somebody has it. My be worth messaging everybody in "Is dji abandoning its beta testers" thread. Surely somebody has it still.

I wonder if its not somewhere in your history. You know its gonna be about 75 mb. Might be worth checking your temp folder or the Assistant 2 folder showing hidden files. You downloaded it so maybe its in your downloaded files. Figure out exactly what it was called and search for it or just search .bin and go through every .bin file and look for it.

Possibly a recovery app. If its not been written over its there somewhere. You can try to recover old temp files. I imagine thats where it was kept after download.

Someone has already done that in the 'Abandoned..' thread, Duc. I've also started a specific thread asking - lots of views but no bites with one yet. I think all the testers were just too keen...

The idea to look for temp files is a good one, but it would have been downloaded in January and I run a very clean ship. It's my professional background in PCs - damn it!

Well that sucks. I bet somebody can recover it from there temp folder. A recovery app would likely recover it on a pc thats not been defraged. With a large enough hard drive it may not be written over for months.

I keep backups of everything and I can't find the most recent update. Bunch of .sig files in Program Files (x86)\DJI Product\DJI Assistant 2\Assistant\Data\firm_cache and some others in \AppData\Roaming\DJIAssistant2\Cache - but no binary files

Well done SED. I'm not at home currently, but aren't the individual driver files the .sig ones? The dir branch naming would suggest that's the right place to be looking. Perhaps Assistant 2 unpacks the .bin file into that directory prior to applying? But you'd need the .cfg file too.

Have you seen the structure of an unpacked firmware? There's a directory for each unpacked firmware in Icer's download. Definitely done all the work for us...

Might have to direct it show hidden files and search as admin.

Maybe Icer could help us. I'll take a proper look in the morning, but we need to get a former beta tester on board that will likely have the files too. Anyone??
