Odd people are having issues when it went so smooth with mine, mind you I haven't flown yet so stay tuned...Hope I don't have same issues..I have IPad Air so far works
So should we hold off on the update if we haven't started yet? It seems most went ok but these last few issues are scaring me a bit!
Did not want to update, left my Wi-Fi off on my IPAD. My Wife used my IPad and well I now have the unwanted update. The update went smooth 1.7 to 1.8 with no problem. BUT I am experiencing a loss in stability, aircraft is choppy in hover and flight. It’s not level and slightly dips to one side. Calibrated EMU, and controller and still the same. I used it this morning while on 1.7 and it was fine, so something happened with the update. Anyone else with this issue?
I will give the MFG a cal on Monday and see what they say, it will be my first experience with DJI Support.

Hello, I read all the posts and I am a bit confused. There seem to be several methods (sequences) executed here on how to do the update to 1.08. Could someone point (or post) to a sequence from DJI that we, who have not updated yet, should follow, please? Or at least, a method that many have followed and had success.
Thank you very much!

This is exactly why I have not updated anything since 1.6 on my P3P. Two updates in three weeks. Something sounds fishy to me. Just my opinion.
Last week was my first flight off of beginner mode, went through 3 batteries. Longest flight was a little over a mile at 400ft altitude before starting to lose some signal. Did a rth and the bird cruised back to the home point. Nice and straight level flight with no issue whatsoever with compass , video, photos etc.
i am not going to fix something that ain't broke. Opinions please, good or bad. (P3P,POLAR PRO LANDING GEAR, MINI PAD/IOS 9.3)

Hi guys. First time poster, been reading everything here for a few months now.
P3A, Shield K1
I was at work the other day when I got word of the new firmware. Came home, fired everything up like I was gonna fly to see if I got got any prompts about updates. Nothing. Shut everything down, got on the computer and grabbed the new package, extracted it to my sd, and updated the AC as normal. No problems.
Fired everything back up again, and then GO let me know that my RC needed an update. Installed that, restarted everything, and went flying. No problems, and it seemed on take-off that hovering was more stable than it had been. Of course, that could be subjective and/or due to conditions.
The main thing I noticed is that the "Safe to Fly - NonGPS" ******** I've been getting with 15 birds since the last update seems to be gone.

Yes follow the same procedure that you used to upgrade but keep 1.7 bin file on sd card, remove 1.8 bin file.
Why do you want to roll back? FW 1.8 seems to be very stable FW as per the results shown by others.

I have also 1.4 FW on my P3A. I want to upgrade my FW to 1.8, but I am not sure, can I go straight from 1.4 to 1.8.
I have heard, you have to go first to 1.5 and then you can go to 1.8. Can someone confirm this?
Wasn't there a way to use a card reader or USB drive to update RC firmware through the RC USB port? Maybe that was just for earlier firmware before it could be done through the app. And if you could do that, would the old DJI GO work with the new RC firmware? Looks like DJI did not think this all the way through.
I would surely think that each new update is cumulative and has everything from all the updates before it. If I'm wrong, then that's kinda scary..
