More channels hack

Got it! File was relocated internally on the phone and off the SD card. All is well. Can confirm it does work with the latest firmware
 
Follow these steps carefully:

1. Download the zip file attached below in this post.
2. Unzip the zip file (don't skip this step!)
3. Set the extract (unzip) location to show hidden files if it's not already.
4. Make sure you can see the single, now unzipped file named .DJI.configs (with the leading ".")
5. Open iTunes, use latest version
6. Connect your iPad (unlock the screen)
7. Close GO app if it's running
8. Once you can see your iPad in iTunes, click on it.
9. Then click on Apps
10. Then scroll all the way down to the bottom in the File Sharing section
11. Select DJI GO
12. Click on Add File...
13. Browse to the location of the unhidden single and unzipped file from earlier, .DJI.configs (with the leading ".")
14. Click on the file and select it. (If you are prompted about replacing the existing file, click Replace. You may not get this prompt.) Don't worry if you don't see the file appear in the list.

That should be it. You should now simply be able to unplug from iTunes, launch the GO app, and see the channels if you scroll left and right on the channel screen. I didn't need to connect it to my phantom to see the channels on any of the many times I have done this. You do of course need to be connected to your phantom to select the channels when you are in custom. Reminder that auto does not use the added channels, only the stock channels. Also, not every country allows custom settings. You may need to set your device to US to enable the custom selection.

If it didnt work, check in iTunes DJI GO Documents. If you see a file with an .rar or .zip extension, it means that you didn't follow the directions. Start over and be sure to unzip the downloaded file as noted.

If when you try to add the file you get a dialog box saying, "could not be copied because you do not have permission," it means that you did not follow the directions. Start over and be sure to unlock your iPad as noted.

Good luck sir.

Note: The original 32 Channel post in the RC Groups forum from Aug 2015 was edited on March 25, 2016 and the file was removed. I added the zipped file to my post a few days later as soon as I learned.

Worked for me on Ipad air 2 and P3A. Thanks!!

I dont have the option to show hidden files anywhere. Using a Mac and IOS. Pls help !
 
Does someone have a link to the file for IOS please? This is a looooong thread to find it in. Thanks.
 
Ah, thanks for that!
 
With the usual channels, I always stay on 20 and it doesn't give me problems. With the extras channels, what do most of you choose to stay on up there?

Btw, thanks Oso. The instructions to get the extra channels worked perfectly.

That was a 2 hour process but I got it. What's a good channel or what makes a good channel I don't want to go back through 90 post's . Glad this forum is so helpful
 
I can not believe that I spent a good portion of my day reading this thread and still don't have a definitive conclusion about this modification.

I have it installed, in about 1 hour I will be home. I plan on testing this today.
