I successfully downgraded my AC and RC due to video transmission/connectivity issues with the latest firmware combination and have been flying for some time with out any issues.
I recently purchased a set of Moverio BT-300 glasses. Using the GO app, they work just fine. However I started to add some third party software (quite limited options since the Moverio glasses are not a registered device for the Google Play store - and probably never will be due to sensitive competition issues with Google).
One of the mapping packages that I installed must have reloaded the DJI infrastructure/interface code with the 3rd party developer code, overriding the original DJI GO app interface code. While the GO APP comes up fine and "would" work OK, it now no longer just nags me that the firmware needed upgrading, but it actually LOCKS the AC (rear LEDs solid red) and when I try to start the motors, it tells me the AC is locked and requires upgrading. Pretty scary way to force one to upgrade to the latest firmware crap. This made it completely impossible to fly the bird with any of the applications.
To be sure this is something that is caused by the underlying interface code, I used my iPhone with the latest version of the GO APP. No problem there, it simply nags me, but the bird does not get locked out.
I am afraid that third party software packages will be forced to use this latest SDK and if the AC firmware is out of date, the SDK will lock it regardless of the "wishes" of the application itself.
Even re-installing the GO app did not fix this. I actually had to completely restore the BT-300 to factory and then reload the GO app (just the GO app - no other drone software). Now it all works fine again just like with my iPhone.
