Hi, sorry for the troubles that it caused, I would like to ask if you manage to calibrate the IMU and compass of your drone? did you check if you're getting enough GPS signal? 18 or more is the recommended signals. Please keep us posted on the latest progress.

Unfortunate!
Try factory reset option in assistant 2
And if that does not help, install  .701, after.
With another factory reset

But of course, your IMU looks good, or ...?

To downgrade the RC firmware refer to my post- https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... 960&pid=1527877

This method has been tested by me on Iphone 7 plus.
Not sure for Android.
If you have an Android you can give it a try.
And also remember to reopen the Dji Go4 app if the firmware menu doesn't shows, then again follow the steps.

You cannot roll back the RC firmware. i don't know how they did this in IOS.  But I have a temporary solution as follows


you have to adjust the following parameters in SPARK
g_config_avoid_obstacle_limit_cfg_safe_dis = 2
g_config_control_avoid_atti_range        = 10

These parameters may be accessed only by DJI assistant 2  V 1.12

it now lands smoothly but you must manually land it. Do not Autoland as it will create the same jumping effect.
Volia solved the issue for android temporarily

Its something got to do with the RC firmware.The SPARK firmware is OK.  

DJI  HAS WRITTEN A CODE TO ACTIVATE ATTI MODE WHILE LANDING !!   
i guess someone was drunk while the code was written !!

Hi S.J.
I have also tested it on Android device, and its working fine.
So you can also downgrade RC firmware from Android device.

i wish you can post a video here for android . i tried but im not getting RC downgrade versions with your method. It shows only AC firmware downgrade.

I strongly feel your rc was not having ver 0.6000 but an earlier vésion.

Ok i will post a video tomorrow for both ios and android.
And i had the .600, which i found to be a mess thats why i tried to downgrade and accidentally found a way.
And if you can see the aircraft firmware downgrade then you must also have an option to downgrade rc.
Just remember don’t power on AC if you want to downgrade RC only.

I have tried the RC downgrade by powering OFF AC, It simply shows nothing !!:)
Please indicate video for Android.

Yes I red your post.
Actually the latest RC firmware is a mess, thats why its throwing wrong info to Dji go app.
To verify you can fly spark only(without rc), then you won’t face any height issue, which will prove that the issue is in RC

There is no time for the official answer. DJI now deals with Mavic 2 ...
You will first get a good idea from the users.

Try this if you can help:

Downgrade the Spark Remote Controller Firmware with DJI GO

The DJI GO application can be used to easily downgrade the Spark remote controller firmware. Follow these steps to downgrade the firmware:

1) Charge the remote controller until it’s at least 50% charged.

2) Connect an OTG cable 1 between the micro USB port on the bottom of the remote controller and the port on your mobile device (or connect the two via Wi-Fi).

Note: Your Spark should be powered off (so it doesn’t connect to the remote controller).


3) Start DJI GO. If DJI GO displays the camera view, click the “DJI” logo at the top, left of the screen to return to the DJI GO welcome screen.

4) Tap and hold the menu button at the top, right of DJI GO welcome screen for at least 5 seconds. When you release your finger, you should see the dark gray “Select firmware version” screen appear.

DJI-GO-SparkDJI-GO-Spark.jpg613x512 51.5 KB

5) Select the firmware version you’d like to install from the list and tap “Firmware Refresh” to install the firmware.

The above steps worked for me .  however the jumpy scenario still exists !!

Hi, We terribly apologize for the late response. I noticed on your first video that the height keeps on changing, however, I'm not aware of the position of the drone during that time, was it on hovering or it was on the land only? Please let us know and I will coordinate this to the right team. Thank you for understanding.

Hi, I was able to check this scenario. Did you try to use a different device or uninstall and re-install the app? Please sync and save important files before deleting the app to see if the issue would persist. If the troubleshooting steps will not work I'm afraid that the drone needs to be in service for further evaluation. Kindly see the link below if you need to send the unit to our facility.

I tried everything it did not help .The problems started with latest firmware update. To sent it for evaluation it is not an option Its more than obvious that these problems came with the latest firmware as you can see on the above comments.Also in this forum there are hundreds of horror stories about your service centers so no.The drone has never crash hit or hard landing.
