Updating the firmware for the first time (flying so nicely I didn't mess with it) The p3 updated perfectly, no issues. I have tried the RC update and no go. I've followed the instructions. I've tried a usb stick with the firmware on it. I've tried hooking the usb cable directly to the gimbal. I've cycled the p3, still can't get a blue light. It just goes from red to green. Any ideas? I've searched and searched.

Did you check your USB drive to see if a file was created? It's possible that the firmware does not need to be updated.

If needed, here are detailed firmware installation instructions:

I've never done a firmware update to the rc. wasn't their one since the release of it?

All day I can not connecting RC with aircraft, after updating firmware...

Today, I turn on the RC and aircraft and I got a message to upgrade the firmware. I hit the upgrade button on DJI GO app, but after that I got message "upgrade failed"... and light blue (white!) appears on the RC LED signal. After that, I tray to upgrade aircraft with SD cards, but after 20 min. signal LED on gimbal (before red-green) turning off. I let the aircraft turn on (there are a sound from the gimbal - like reading the SD card, but after about 10 min. nothing change. I turn off the aircraft.
So, now, when I turn on the RC and aircraft, DJI GO app message is "aircraft is not connected"!!!
Before few min. I install 1.3.20 firmware on aircraft.
After that, I turn on the RC, go to "enter camera", status... its a message to upgrade the firmware. After downloading, hit "upgrade" ... and message "upgrade failed... current ver. 1.3.20... download ver. 1.3.20".
I turn on the aircraft, BUT still no connection between RC and aircraft.
On RC LED light blue still.

In ordre to update the RC while connected to the Gimbal you have to start the quad before the RC of course
