I'm too lazy but someone should put a pool of money together and hire a "software engineer" to jailbreak the phantom.
It's only a matter of time...

And, when this happens, the FAA (and regulators in other countries) will just have to ban UAVs all together. They'll simply have no other choice. It'll be a sad day if it happens.
Right. They will just put the small group in jail. But, if all UAVs are modded and countless people regularly start flying in no fly zones, what would be the FAA's next move?they would not ban UAVs because a small group of people fly at a higher altitude or in a NFZ

Nope. But, it seems only DJI is attempting to implement no-fly zones. Others manufacturers will likely follow suit.or is it ONLY phantom owners who do bad things?

Right. And, now, you cannot.you have ALWAYS been able to fly UAV's in NFZ's
The pledges were up to $400 in this thread last week. Maybe it's not so far fetched of an idea that someone will start a "fund me" type thing.I'm too lazy but someone should put a pool of money together and hire a "software engineer" to jailbreak the phantom.

Why would you want to fly in a no-fly zone if it's illegal?
Would also be a legal question. Courts may rule that a person does not have a right to alter the firmware. The firmware is owed by DJI. Right now I know of no exemption being given for this type of use (US... copyright office).
No, actually I doubt it will happen. You are talking about a very complex, multi CPU system involving flight control, communication, Internet access, video and a bunch of other subsystems. A cell phone is a piece of cake compared to this. None of this is documented. I'd venture that the code is so convoluted and spaghetti'd that even DJI has problems figuring out which end is up.
It isn't like there is one magic file that will give you unhindered access and prevent DJI from 'upgrading' your experience.
Not likely. Phones went through the same thing.
It's probably not hard to do and it's just a matter of time. More and more people are buying DJi products. It'll reach critical mass someone probably many will crack it.
You have to unlock the bootloader which no one has done yet. If that could be done, modifications to configuration, etc. could be done e.g. turning GEO off.
I would like to see if someone could unpack the bin files and see if they can make sense of them.
