Having several Android devices - all with OS > 4.2, and the only one that the Pilot app runs on is my tiny phone, I contact DJI support. I'm essentially told, the app support the Android device, not the OS. So, I'm relegated to buying something on the supported list - which I do last Friday. I bought the Nexus 7 which is recommended.
Then this come in this morning, about the updates bricking that device.
What a mess. DJI should be ashamed of themselves for building an app the supports devices instead of the operating systems in the first place [not so with apple stuff, just Android!].
I know this isn't in their control but to me, this is just the icing on the cake for the costs associated in getting a P3 Pro.
Big time bummed out now!
Your Quote sir ( I'm relegated to buying something on the supported list - which I do last Friday. I bought the Nexus 7 which is recommended.

Okay you bought the Nexus 7 Great! a fantastic piece of hardware. Google is the Android developer and the Nexus 7 was made under the eye of google. Okay that's done.
Okay have you turned your nexus 7 on yet and powered it up? You fire off a link to what some are saying X version 5.1.1 bricked there device's.
Okay I have two Nexus 7 II's both running version 5.1.1. and they are working fine. and the dji pilot app is running fine.
Okay did you try and download and install the app from the play store or the DJI site?
Okay the one on the play store forget about. Get the one from the DJI Link Here. ( http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-3/download ) Download the app and install a windows will come up saying not recommended ignore those and install.
I see no place that YOUR nexus 7 is bricked just a news article that seemed to make you think your's will be too and some have not had success.
There are Millions of nexus 7's out in the world. A few for some reason had trouble. who knows why?
So from above IS YOUR DEVICE BRICKED? or NOT?
If not it sounds like we can easily help you out.
Your Court and ball Sir....
