I crashed my spark and did an update around the same time and after some repairs it still won't take off.
It tilts to one side and then turns off.
Could this be a software issue or has the repair been done poorly ?

Crappy damaged props or binding motors on one side?  Calibrate the IMU so it knows the output for level?

Can you take a photo of your Spark from above?  You might have a prop in the wrong spot.

You do an IMU calibration via DJI Go 4.  I've put together a tutorial a while back on the topic.

Hey, any error message from your app? Please try to flash the firmware and see if it works. If not, please contact our support and start a case: http://www.dji.com/support

If you put props on in the wrong direction on racing quads it just flips right over. Doubt the Spark would take off at all as the air flow would be totally wrong and would cause instant pulling in whatever direction. Motor issues, props and general calibration checks required me thinks.

The spark is definitely not a racing quad.

The OP states that his Spark does not take off...

I guess we are left to wait in anticipation to see what the OP informs us!

The race quad was just a ref to what happens with incorrectly placed props. Defo a weird one this. Hope you get Sparky sorted out.
