I got this phantom 3 advanced from my boss, he let his son fly it a couple times and then it sat in the pole barn. I charged it up, installed the app, updated firmware on the drone but no matter what I do I cannot get past the "How to connect" section in the app. I've tried older phones, newer phones, several tablets, debugging mode / midi mode, etc. I've been searching and searching but nothing seems to have fixed the problem. After updating the firmware on the drone I did connect the memory card to the RC and it appeared to be updating but would then make the failed update sounds. I have no clue what firmware the remote is on as I cannot connect my phone to it.
Was anyone ever able to figure this out? I linked the aircraft to the remote and after powering both on the rear lights on the aircraft flick green but the led on the remote does not stay solid green, it flashes, slowly. Firmware mismatch? Even if that were the case shouldn't I be able to connect my phone or tablet to the remote? Any help is appreciated, otherwise I'll assume it is a paperweight, which is a shame because it came with multiple, unused batteries, props, accessories, nice big carrying case.
Thanks.
