1.9 -> 1.8
1.8 -> 1.8 + Debug
1.8 -> 1.7

Hi Guys,

Right, I've had this issue myself, and have just managed to fix it without RMA or hardware replacement.
It's pretty much taken me all weekend though, researching this and other forums.

So I tried different firmware versions on the aircraft, the two firmware versions available on the controller, nothing.

Then I found this link showing how to help 'force' upgrade or downgrade firmware:
forcing fw downgrade with P3X_FW_DEBUG · Issue #4 · mefistotelis/phantom-firmware-tools · GitHub
It's a very simple thing to enable, just create a file called P3X_FW_DEBUG in the root of the SD card you are using to do the firmware upgrade.
I did that by creating a text file, naming it as above, and removing the .txt extension.

Reading in the above link, mefistotelis states that he believes that long jumps in firmware upgrades are not ideal.

So, and this was the painful bit, I decided to try and flash the firmware in order by version steps - it took bloody ages:
I found this link on one of these forums where you can download all the versions of firmware for the P3P:

DJI Phantom Accessories & Tips - Phantom Help
I downloaded them all, and started with the current version, going one by one down to a much older version (not the oldest version):
v1.10.9
v1.09.6
v1.08.8
v1.07.6
v1.06.4
v1.05.3
v1.04.1
v1.03.2
v1.02.6

All of them failed with the long dirty tone sounding on the aircraft at the end of the upgrade process, but I persevered.
Noting that each time, the aircraft would mostly boot as normal, but still showing 'No Image Transmission' when connected.
Also, a few times, the aircraft would not properly start at all, and instead would start beeping loudly 'like an alarm' clock and no lights showing on the aircraft as some posters have commented.
BUT, the upgrades would still run through, so I kept going, and after applying the next version down, the loud beeping would stop and the aircraft lights would come back on.
Eventually, I got to the earliest version (v1.02.6) with none of the upgrades reporting successful, but then I started incrementing firmware versions from oldest to newest as follows:

from v1.02.6
v1.03.2
v1.04.1
v1.05.3
v1.06.4
v1.07.6
v1.08.8
and on this version, the firmware update was successful - for the first time!

Not quite believing it had worked, I decided to power on the craft and controller (which was running v1.5 firmware).

Lo and behold, the **** picture is back and working again!
I can't believe it! I am going to cancel the RMA that I raised today, while I was halfway through this process and lost hope - convinced it was a hardware issue!

I hope the above process works for anyone else out there who has tried many different ways to fix their issue.

It just goes to show, it's not 'definitely a hardware issue' if you get both the:
[00028828][15 00][00] device not detected.
[00041697][08 00][00] device not detected.
at the same time.

Best of luck!



Hello,
So im following your method my drone has same problem as yours and same model

Hi Guys,

Sorry I've not checked this for ages.
Did you have any joy with the downgrade/upgrade process in Debug mode?
 
Hey guys, I have the exact same problem and I am using Leighton's method to try to get my bird back. I am using the debug and have made it all the way down form 1.11 to 1.4 and still going with no luck. I will also go back up one at a time but had a question. My question is, are you guys holding in the button on the side as power on the bird as you do each step to force the update or just powering on the bird? Has anyone else had luck doing this? Also if it is the two codes below, what part needs to be replaced and about how much is it?

[01200832][15 00][00] device not detected.

[01213917][08 00][00] device not detected.

These are the two codes that come up at each firmware attempt.
