Having issues with my new P4P!

Everytime I try and connect the RC to the aircraft I get this error message: (Air Encoder Error 0x20). At first the RC would link the the aircraft briefly and the ligths would stay green for about one second then it would disconnect and all the lights would turn yellow and red again. Now this error message comes up every time. I have tried with varoius different iphones and cables and have tried to connect it manually plenty of times.

When i try and upgrade the firmware using DJI Assist 2 - everything downloads properly but evertime the upgrade starts it fails. This is even for refreshing the current firmware thats currently on the aircraft! I don't understand why it wont let me upgrade! HELP!

Have you tried performing a factory reset via the Assistant 2 software before performing the update?

Sorry to hear about the issue, since you have tried to reset and refresh, it still cannot start to upgrade and you always have the error code, it needs to be send in for further evaluation then get it fixed by our engineers.
Besides, may I know where you bought it? from DJI online store or an authorized dealer?

I bought it from the Hong Kong Flagship store. I have been trying to contact DJI support to organize to send it in but so far I have been very dissapointed with the techncial support service from DJI as I have explained my problem to them and all they tell me is to 'try and connect it manually'. Obviously I have tried that multiple times and I have had no response from them when inquiring how I should move forth to send the drone in for repair.

Are you serious??
Why would it not be covered under warranty, if he bought it from the FLAGSHIP Store?

are purchases from the DJI flagship HK store not covered for warranty related issues?!

The issue is the region he bought it from. These units do not have international warranty and can only apply in the region they bought it from. Since the unit was bought in Hong Kong, the unit would have to go back to China for the warranty to apply. If it was bought in the US or from the website to his US address, then the warranty would apply here.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Since the international warranty is not available now, you can only obtain the warranty in the service center where you bought it.
For more information, please check DJI official website, "Part III – Types of After-sales Service": http://www.dji.com/service/policy

Not sure if this helps, but I had a similar problem and I reset to factory defaults, then toggled my remote between frequencies 5.8 then 2.4Ghz, then rebooted the remote. That fixed it for me, I was able to link the RC to the drone. I also had issue with the firmware upgrade. I uninstalled all versions of the DJI assistant, then reinstalled the dji assistant. Worked like a charm. I hope this helps.
