Hey everyone. First post here on the Phantom Pilots forums. I'm pretty much a newbie to drones in general, but not new to realizing how much help and support there is in forums like this.
I purchased a used DJI Phantom 4 a month ago. Excellent shape with lots of extras for a decent price, and have used it quite a bit with no issues. I had an update show up one day so i decided to do it. (I know better now). I use an Android device (One Plus 7 Pro), with the DJI Go 4 app, but also have the DJI Assistant 2 on my Windows based laptop. I'm not real fluent in updates so not positive in the process other than what i have found online. I have tried a few different ways, with laptop, android and Ipad Pro. No luck. I believe the download comes first, then transmission to the aircraft? Every way i try, it either hangs at 99% or says update failed. And now i have no video feed to my phone.
Now, on Assist 2 it says i'm running firmware V00.00.0000. But the DJI Go 4 app says its the latest firmware. Ipad says version unknown. Looking in the about section of my android app, it says look for updates. When i click it, it just keeps looking, but never comes up with anything. The RC version is 1.9.3. App version, 4.3.36.. And whenever i try and update with Assit 2, it always says download failed.
I know this sounds like every other firmware update problem, but theres always at least one thing different in everyone elses than mine. Is there a way to revert back to the last firmware or did i burn out some hardware componant? The aircraft status light on the side just keeps blinking red/yellow/red. I do know the aircraft firmware and RC firmware have to be compatible, but i can't really tell what firmware is installed on the aircraft by what it's telling me.
Anyone have any ideas? I really don't want to send it anywhere if i can fix it myself. THX.
