Well, after I updated this morning, I did do a takeoff and hover in my living room (12 foot ceilings) to see how it behaved and I had no problem with it.

FFS....   The administrator of this forum needs to be SHOT...

This is the .700 upgrade thread that they have renamed to .800 - confusing the crap out of everyone!

@DJISupport - you need a Forum Admin.... and someone who writes English as a native language to proof read the release notes before releasing them to the general public. All the confusion and uproar in the lates DJIGO app and now the .800 firmware is caused by the ambiguous nature of the release notes!

Anyone else having huge issues updating firmware via the DJI Assistant 2 app? I've never seen a device fail at updates so often than the Mavic.
Nevermind, I see there are tons of people with the same issues as me. Ill juts skip this update.

I used the Go4 app and had no issue except having to restart both the Mavic and Controller to get the downloaded file to start the update.

yes pretty ridiculous seeing as this items cost loads of money. some of us need to work a month to get that sort of money. ideally we shoiuld just leave the drone to .550, but what if i want the goggles? or to try fixed wing mode? it just doesnt feel right.

Not really the way technology works.   Ya wanna add new features, those features are a PART of the firmware.  If you don't update, the code to make the new stuff work isn't there.

4K is not possible on this firmware. Up to 2.7K now.

4k 3840×2160 and 4k 4096×2160 has been disabled on firmware .800 ?

No, it's disabled when you select a HD transmission to the iPad which seems to have turned on by default in this update. If you change the downlink back to SD the 4K options should return.

This topic starts to get mixed up and you almost can not find anything because from page 1 to the latest one is added all the updates, DJI you should open a separate topic for each separate update

Just spent 40 minutes connected to DJI Assistant2 upgrading firmware.
Program said upgrade successful (to .800).
Swapped batteries (all 5 of them) and each did upgrade.
Turned off Mavic. Closed DJI Asst.2
Re-turned on to check. All firmware latest.
Disconnect from PC.

Connect Android phone to RC.
Turned on RC & MP.
DJI GO4 starts up and asks me to update DMZ - go ahead and download & update.
Then GO4 tells me I don't have the latest firmware and prompts me to upgrade firmware.........
I believe it's just going to do a check, see it's latest and skip over it.....
:/

I'm now going through a complete firmware upgrade again....?!?
WTF!!
(Actually I think the AI in GO4 detected I had plenty of time on my hands and I really like watching the upgrade so thought it would give me a treat and do it again....

Well I tired to upgrade to 008. But got a message some modules in your mavic are incompatible.

Now the battery that was plugged in has the middle 2 lights on and blinks every now and then. I cant even turn the battery off

if it didnt update to .600 unfortunately it wont go to .700, same as me. Controller OK, but mavic only takes up to .550, im trying last time to revert to .400, do factory reset, wipe SD and try update, but i have doubts.

After such an epic struggle to upgrade to .700 from .550 I was so surprised to see it upgrade to .800, no worries at all. Only thing is the batteries are also upgraded so you get a firmware mismatch when swapping batteries.

So as I said a few posts up the  middle 2 battery lights are on and wont turn off. Well the other 2 batteries I have worked and the controller and quad are now 008. But the firmware killed that one battery. Im under warranty. But annoying none the less.

Just an update. I reflashed the battery and it all works fine now. The firmware did reset all the settings. But thats no big deal. It recommended after you flash that you do a factory default.

There oes not appear to be any flight restrictions in my area. And I live in and around a large city.

Hi, Its impossible for me to update beyond V01.03.550.  Any other version (0600,0700 and 0800) fails. Only the RC will update to later versions, but the UAV (Mavic pro) fails. I tried using DJI Go App (android) and Assistant 2 (Mac). Please help

All I can suggest is.
Make sure to do it threw pc. More stable.

Make sure assistant 2 is latest version.
Turn controller on first, then with the mavic plugged into the pc, turn that on. Then when its detected, update straight to 800.

Also dont have a phone plugged into the controller.

With the current versions of Litchi (iOS 1.16.12 and Android 3.10.10), if you update to the latest DJI firmware for Mavic Pro (v01.03.0800), Phantom 4 Pro (v01.04.0602) or Phantom 4 Advanced (v01.00.0128) you will be required to log in in DJI Go to unlock the new altitude and distance limitations both for DJI Go and Litchi. The upcoming Litchi versions will automatically unlock the restrictions without having to log in in DJI Go except if you fly in China (in which case log in with DJI Go will still be required but can be done within Litchi).

Guys, I do apologise - maybe I've missed the info.
Have anyone tried to use .800 FW with 4.0.8 or earlier Go4 App?

I'm still on 4.0.8 and going to update FW to .800 via Assistant 2 so I wonder would I be able to stick to 4.0.8?

Thank you Drone Heaven. You saved my day.
I encountered Just some little flaws during installation, but eventually success. What I did to upgrade to V01.03.0800 was the following (might help some others):

1) downgrade to 0500
2) connect RC to charger
3) connect UAV to Mac (not powered)
4) start DJI Assistant 2
5) power on RC
6) power on UAV (make sure Assistant is active during power on)
7) start update to 0800

bummer: update failed at 20%

8) power of UAV
9) restart DJI Assistant 2
10) power on UAV (update magically continues from 20%)

bummer: update failed at 82%

11) power of UAV
12) restart DJI Assistant 2
13) power on UAV (update magically continues from 82%)

success: UAV now at version 0800 but RC still at 0500

14) connect RC to Mac
15) restart DJI Assistant 2
16) power on RC
17) power on UAV
18) upgrade to 0800

Success: Both UAV and RC are now on V01,02.0800

Now waiting for rain to stop for maiden 0800 flight.

DJI should have made these upgrades a bit more stable.

Yes, RC/Aircraft and Goggles, no issues here. Took 20 mins.

Buzzyone, can you fly it beyond the 50/30 mtr borders when you use your goggles and RC only (no smartphone connected to the controller)?

I.e. would it consider the goggles-software an app and hence let it fly normally...

I am still wondering what "Optimized color shading in for improved footage quality" means. Does it have to do with the infamous central warm spot?
In considering this hypothesis, I wrote an extensive analysis on this issue with the most recent firmware .800, both in photo DNG/JPEG and Video.




Here is a blog post with the results, solutions and further considerations

Because nobody could tell us (on forum), I send E-mail to DJI support and they just replied on my e-mail...

Restriction of height and distance will take effect in next update of app...

Here are my findings:

If you start up the aircraft and the RC only, your flight is restricted to 30M Altitude and 50M distance.

If you start up the aircraft with the DJI Go 4 App running, disconnect the App, the aircraft will fly unrestricted, within the parameters that were set in the App prior to the disconnect.

If the aircraft is flying and the App is disconnected the aircraft continues to fly within the parameters set previously.

If the app is reconnected then it connects as normal and nothing has changed, the home point is not updated it remains as was when the aircraft took off. The app must download this from the aircraft.

All of this is with the latest App and .800 firmware. iOS on iPad Mini 4.

I have also noticed that the braking has been softened in the none sport modes to prevent gimbal shudder when stopping rapid flight. Sport mode seems to be as it was.

I also noticed that the precision landing (where the aircraft descends to around 50cm then pauses before landing) seems to get disabled for some reason, I will need to explore why this is on another flight, it may be with me disconnecting the App mid flight. I also need to test the Goggles I expect that these are 'an approved device' and there will be no 30/50 restrictions. I need more space to test the Goggles!

Battery Firmware Updates are carried out by the aircraft when it 'sees' the battery, The update does not require connecting to Assistant or the firmware refreshing.
