My DJI MAVIC Mini is brand new direct from DJI,.. on my 1st attempt to fly, it says "unable to fly, aircraft locked, update aircraft firmware 30122".
Update attempt through the DJI Fly app on WiFi didn't work, so I downloaded the latest version of DJI Assistant for Mavic and made about six attempts to update the firmware using my iMac computer running OS Mohave. The "download" of the firmware update goes smoothly to 100%, but then the next step of "Transmitting" seemed to always get stuck on 0% and then after 10 minutes or so gives a message that the update failed, send log, retry, which I did several times.
I deleted and then reinstalled the DJI Assistant for Mavic and this time also allowed the installation of the associated "kernel" program (which says for Android?) and a little "@file" logo file showed up on my desktop?? This time after the "download" of firmware update reached 100%, the "Transmitting" began to proceed, but very very slowly,... after 2 hours it had only reached 7%! I began to wonder if DJI or the "kernel" program was "transmitting" my entire photo library and maybe all of the data on my hard to China (?), so I quit the program and shut down.
The DJI Assistant programs are trash in my opinion and they don't follow Apple protocols,. I had to override my Security Settings (downloads from Apple App Store and recognized software only) to download the new version for Mavic in the first place,.. now I'm worried that was a mistake! Can anyone give me some advice on what I should do to accomplish this firmware update without risking all of the data on my computer hard drive?,... or perhaps I should pack the Mini up and send it back for a refund,... I can fly my old Phantom 1 without all of this B.S. |
