Run any firmware you want

I was in the DJI forum and ran across this guy claiming the following:

Has anyone in this forum actually done this successfully? Seems so simple to do, but never realized that inserting a blank SD card into the motherboard would work, allowing you to start from scratch. Interesting post.

Very interesting find. In case I open the shell, I will do it myself.

It implies he can skirt the altitude restriction to 500m.

This guy claimed to have done this a little while ago:

Format internal SD card - How please?

It implies he can skirt the altitude restriction to 500m.

It was thought that It could also be a way around the DJI imposed NFZ areas. There has been a few guys who has removed their card, read what was on it and tried erasing it a month or 2 ago. Problem is more like getting a hold of the replacement file to load on the card that he talks about above. Now many believe the data relating to the fw is stored elsewhere and may need a bootloader.

Is he implying that once the internal card is formatted, there is a special firmware we need to install and not one downloaded from dji site?

Yeah I have tried this after v1.10 bricked my drone. No success as yet. I also suspect that a special firmware version may be required.

Anything new on this idea?

Use the P3X_FW_DEBUG method. Works for most people.

The claims about the internal SD method have never been substantiated. The OP never replied to anyone as far as I know.

Downgrading firmware on P3P from 1.10.9 to 1.7.6

I've tried putting firmware on the internal card, the firmware install does not start. I've tried this using the forced upgrade process, using the debug as well as with and without camera. Unless there is a special way, or special file .. dont think this works. I've tested every way i can think!

I dont understand why Dig. I know , Ive been following your situation. Sorry your still having issues. I most be 1 of the other half where it did work.
Have you followed github? They have been making advances weekly on installing independent modules pulled out of the FW and fixed some with your same issue.
