Mac won't unzip the update file...

[Bojankins]

I've tried clicking it and it just duplicates itself to a smaller file. I've deleted it and re downloaded it and at this point I'm frustrated and annoyed. I simply want to update my phantom... Help?

When you download the update you should get a folder containing 2 items . One is a pdf with instructions on how to update , and the other is a .bin file. Don't click on the .bin file, just drag or copy it to the root directory of your sd card, and put the card in the Phantom. Turn on the Phantom and the update should start.

I do that but the folder never unzips

Mac hides the file... do this...

1. The long way to show hidden Mac OS X files is as follows:
   1. Open Terminal found in Finder > Applications > Utilities.
   2. In Terminal, paste the following: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES.
   3. Press return.
   4. Hold the 'Option/alt' key, then right click on the Finder icon in the dock and click Relaunch.

So it doesn't recognize it when I put it in the phantom

Step three isn't working

 

[Bojankins]

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES.

 

[Bojankins]

Maybe it did work. I completed the steps

I'm about to give up. My app is v. 2.20. My aircraft is v. 1.1.9+ and the RC is v. 1.1.8 everything works great. I just really want to try these new features. I for the life of me can not get P3X_FW_V01.03.0020.bin downloaded from DJI website to Unzip. Without it unzipped the aircraft will not recognize it and update. It's my understanding that I have to update to that version before updating yet again to the newest version out. If any users out there can enlighten me on how to unzip this file that would be fantastic. I've tried a few apps from the AppStore with no luck. As for now, I've been beatin.

What exactly are you trying to unzip?..The .bin file doesn't need to be unzipped...just drag to the root directory of your micro sd card and put the card in the phantom.

 

[Bojankins]

I'll try again but it wasn't working and the how to videos show an unzipped icon

Go to downloads drag the zipped file to the card then open the file. Delete the instruction file and you should just have the .bin file left. (Other than DCIM)

 

[Bojankins]

Copy that. I'm re downloading the file now.

I had trouble with MAC too......don't think it was computers fault!

 

[Bojankins]

DDDDD-D-D was the only sound it made. Now it's just flashing yellow in the back and solid red upfront. No green light on the gimbal...

 

[Erik Somoroff]

I have a Mac. I save the download to Desktop. I drag it onto my Micro SD. I put it in my Drone. It updates. I don't do anything else..............

 

[Bojankins]

I've been fooling with this for 4 hours now and I've gotten absolutely nowhere.

 

[Bojankins]

I don't get it.

 

[III% Streve]

Get a PC!

 

[rockydog]

I don't get it.

Can you explain exactly what you are doing after you download the update from dji
