First a little history, I bought my P3Pro in July 2015, after doing some old post searching I found that I updated the AC/RC to v1.2.6 right after receiving it.
I flew it occasionally for for a few years and it flew perfectly so I avoided updating it (kept the old Pilot v1.2.0 app on my Nexus 7 as well), with the problems that originally came up around v1.2.6's release I felt like I dodged a bullet when the FW updated successfully so I decided to just stick with what worked for as long as I could. Anyway, between a new daughter, work, and life it unfortunately sat for a couple years. Fast forward to today and I decided that I'd charge the batteries and take it out. However, my Nexus bit the dust a while back and while I could get Pilot installed & working on my newer devices, the app would freeze as soon as the RC/AC made their connection. DJI Go Before P4 wouldn't let me connect at all under the P3 menu, just gave me a button for "How to Connect", although it would give me the "Camera" button under the Inspire menu. So I decided I'd just update the RC/AC and see if they'd work with DJI Go after that.
I went on DJI's website looking for P3Pro firmware, found v1.11.20, downloaded it, formatted the card and started the update process. Everything seemed to be going fine, yellow lights blinking, start up sound every so often, constant beeping, and then suddenly got a flatline tone and the gimbal light was solid red. The .txt. file of course said it had failed and to try again. Started researching that when I found threads stating that the process is to update the FW to v1.3.2 before going to a newer FW (sinking feeling there). So I formatted the SD card again and tried v1.3.2 and it failed within 15 seconds.
Now the forward lights stay solid red & the rear lights flash red/yellow/green and it beeps in a beep-beep-pause-beep-beep repeating pattern. The RC connects (I can move the gimbal) but the RC status light flickers between red & green. No amount of attempts to install any firmware will take, they all now just fail within about 15 seconds. Unfortunately there is no LOG_AB file to share, even after trying to get it to take an older FW version to generate the file as I had seen suggested in another thread.
So is there anything I can do to fix this or am I looking at something I'd need to send to DJI to resolve?
Thank you in advance for any help!
