It's his rc that has the problem, not the bird. The bird was done successfully. People have to read more carefully. For the rc problem I would force quit the go app as many times as it takes to get the rc update needed message, while your tablet is connected to the internet of course. Deleting the go app, restating the tablet, and installing the latest version could help if nothing else is.You have to go to the DJI website and download the FW update zipped file to your computer and then unzip the file to "P3X_FW_V01.08.0080.bin".
What I do is keep one MSD card just with the latest FW, so I take that SD card and place the new bin file on the root level of the card also delete the old TXT file from the card.
Than insert the card in the P3 and turn it on, the update took me about 10 minutes, the DDDD,DDDD... sound and flashing light show it is updating, towards the end the lights went out for about a minute and then came back solid green with the D-DD,D-DD... sound in stead of DDDD... sound. This means it is done, turn off the batt and back on again and you are done. Now the RC will work fine with the P3.
This is pretty much how all updates work. You may have to update all your Lipos as well, use the same procedure for each Lipo.
This shows the log .TXT file after updates. The 3 after FW updates was me checking if Lipos needed updating, mine did not.

The firmware on the SD card is identical to or older than the current firmware on the aircraft.

It is easy once you get the routine down. The last batch of FW updates have all worked the same, and very smoothly at least for me. Actually I have never had a problem updating any FW, the only time I had a problem was with the GOapp and just removing and reinstalling the GOapp from my iPadmini2 that worked perfectly as well.
My P3P behaves perfectly after this update just like it dd after every other one. I think it works great for the majority of us and we only read the horror stories.
