Can a P3 Controller be reset (erased) back to factory original?

Hello Everyone,

Is there an easy way to clear/reset the controller back to factory settings and clear any previous flight logs, etc...?

Assuming you mean the bird (since flight logs aren't stored on the controller), no. There used to be but the option was disabled in the app a few iterations ago.

I had the same understanding until I read this recent post:

I am not aware of any procedure to reset RC back to its factory setting. All the settings done thru DJI Go App get reset when you reset DJI GO App. It has some hidden settings that you and I will not know for example NFZs logs for your area.

I did the upgrade to RC 1.6, and it seemed to go well. iPad Mini 4 on iOS 9.3.1

After powering up the RC later, it showed Upgrade Required again. I clicked through to install, and it started but this time the screen showed Current version: Unknowm, Upgrade Version 1.6.0

After beeping for at least 30 minutes, I came back to the Go screen which no longer showed the upgrading dialog.

So I powered down the RC, and now when powered up, it shows the red LED for about 15 seconds then it starts flashing and the RC beeps. The Go app shows "Remote controller connected, please connect your aircraft.", but of course the RC does not connect to anything because it is too busy beeping!

I have tried reinstalling the Go app, but the RC does not seem to acknowledge it.

Is there a way to reset the RC to a state that it will take a firmware upgrade again?

Received this from DJI Support, it solved my issue!

- In the DJI Home screen there is a graduation cap or the academy icon on the right upper corner
- Please hold that icon down for about 5-10 secs and a downgrade for the Rc should prompt
- re install the 1.5.7 and the Rc should install that update and then you should have connection between the Drone and RC again
