…don't let the frustrations of updating your aircraft get you down !

Tried all 3 brand new cards (out of the box) in the Phantom- SD card unknown error, tried to format with the RC DJI 3.1.10-format failed. (this happened with all 3 cards!!!) 2. Formatted the Sd-cards with my Laptop with program SD-Format-success. Put it in the AC-SD card failed!

Conducting an update of the firmware on your Phantom 3 Professional, Phantom 3 Advanced or Inspire 1 may be the solution to your problem ! For steps on updating the Phantom 2 series, click here

(Updating the ‘Phantom 4‘, ‘Phantom 3 4K‘ and the ‘Phantom 3 Standard‘ is a different process than what is explained below, so will be the subject of articles to come…)

On occasion you may get an ‘RC Signal Lost', ‘Disconnected' or similar status message in the GO app. There are several reasons this may happen, but often it is because there is a mismatch of firmware version between the remote control and the aircraft.

Sometimes you may receive an alert in the GO app to perform an update and you may inadvertently have updated the remote control before updating the aircraft. This can result in a mismatch error and the ‘RC Signal Lost' or ‘Disconnected' message arising.

To resolve this issue you just need to make sure you have the correct versions of firmware on your aircraft and remote control – and of course ensure you have the correct version of the GO app for your specific phone/tablet.

Phantom 3 Advanced downloads page

Always refer to the relevant release notes on the www.dji.com downloads page for your aircraft to determine what version of firmware should be on your aircraft and remote control.

As of the time of writing, current release notes can be found under the ‘Documents and Manuals' subheading on the downloads page of each product:

Inspire 1 http://www.dji.com/product/inspire-1/info#downloads

Inspire 1 Pro and Inspire 1 Raw http://www.dji.com/product/inspire-1-pro-and-raw/info#downloads

Phantom 4 http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-4/info#downloads

Phantom 3 Professional http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-3-pro/info#downloads Adelle & adelle sans font families typetogether download free.

Phantom 3 Advanced http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-3-adv/info#downloads

Phantom 3 4K http://www.dji.com/product/phantom3-4k/info#downloads

Minecraft mods mac. Phantom 3 Standard http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-3-standard/info#downloads

(Remember, the upgrade process of the ‘Phantom 4', ‘Phantom 3 4k' and ‘Phantom 3 Standard', differs from the other models so will be the subject of forthcoming articles)

Unfortunately, the release notes aren't perfect. They may tell you the aircraft firmware version but not the version that should be on the remote.

A common misunderstanding is that the same version number should be on the aircraft and the remote – this is NOT so !

As of the time of writing these are the configurations :

GO appAircraftRemote Control
Phantom 3 ProfessionalAndroid 2.8.1, iOS 2.8.31.9.60 (previous 1.8.80)1.6.0
Phantom 3 AdvancedAndroid 2.8.1, iOS 2.8.31.9.60 (previous 1.8.80)1.6.0

If you get alerts in the GO app to update the remote control and to update the aircraft, always update the aircraft first.

If you only get an alert to upgrade the remote control alone (with no accompanying alert to upgrade the aircraft) do not upgrade the remote prematurely because at some point soon you may get an alert to upgrade the aircraft.

(When the alert says to upgrade the aircraft, battery and camera – don't feel overwhelmed ! The single update to the aircraft will take care of the other two.)

When you get the alert to upgrade the aircraft go to the relevant downloads page for your aircraft and download the latest firmware under the ‘Firmware' subheading. Alternatively, you can consider going ahead with the upgrade of the aircraft without waiting for the alert.

  1. Format the SD card first (Instructions are here on how to format an SD card on a Mac and PC)
  2. Download the firmware zip file to your computer then double-click the zip file to ‘unzip it'. You will then see a .bin file. (If using a MAC, download using an alternative browser to Safari, as some users have had issues seeing the .bin file and only see a cpgz file instead.)
  3. Copy the .bin file to the SD card.
  4. Put the SD card into the aircraft then turn the aircraft on. Beeping will occur for approximately 30 to 45 mins when you will then hear a distinct change in beeping tone signifying the update has completed.

After this you can take out the SD card and put it into your computer to read the ‘log' text file on it which hopefully will say ‘Success'.

If the message indicates that the update was not successful, try the whole process again from Step 1 above. Computer mouse clicker.

Some forum users report having to retry up to 9 times before the upgrade was installed successfully!

Fix for if you upgraded the remote control before the aircraft

If you upgraded the remote control before upgrading the aircraft and you are getting an ‘RC Signal Lost' or ‘RC disconnected' message you can try the following:

  1. Go to the home page of the GO app (the page with an image of your aircraft against a white background)
  2. Do a long 20-second press on the graduation cap icon on the top right hand corner of the screen and you may see an option to downgrade the remote (a short press will take you to the simulator screen and that's not what we want!)

Do a long press (10 to 30 secs) on the graduate cap then let go

Do a long press (10 to 30 secs) on the graduate cap then let go

You may or may not be presented with downgrade options (the firmware number may differ from this image)

Once you complete the downgrade you can then upgrade the aircraft to the latest version. Following this, do the upgrade on the remote control.

How to confirm the versions of firmware you have on your aircraft and remote control.

For safety, remove the propellers from your aircraft:

  1. Turn on your remote control
  2. Turn on your aircraft
  3. Open the GO app on your cellphone/tablet
  4. Go to ‘Camera view'
  5. On the top right hand corner you'll see 3 dots which you should press
  6. On the next screen go down to the bottom where you'll see ‘About'
  7. When you click on ‘About' you'll see version numbers of your app, aircraft and remote control

…the above is just for illustration purposes. ‘Version' refers to the version of firmware on the aircraft. Your versions will differ from the above (Refer to dji.com ‘Release Notes' on the downloads page for your specific product to get latest version numbers! Unfortunately, DJI does not always publish the version number of the remote control in the Release Notes)

Hope this explanation helps.
