    Downgrade from Firmware V3.00?

    I, for one, was unsuccessful. So, my P2 was pretty much useless after the upgrade, and I was never able to find a way to downgrade to the working firmware. And DJI's customer support were total dicks about it. They basically said it's my problem, and I would have to pay several hundred...

    Firmware updates

    In my opinion, you should never update firmware unless your Phantom is having some kind of problem you are hoping it will fix. While many firmware updates go just fine (I am told), in my experience, a firmware update can potentially cause your drone to fly erratically, be uncontrollable, or...

    Downgrade from Firmware V3.00?

    Darn. Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'm outta luck. Turns out DJI's tech support is absolutely horrible these days. I've been trying to get through to them on the phone for over a week, to get an RMA number. It just says call volume is too high and disconnects me. I had one good...

    Hard Resetting the Phantom 2 Naza Firmware

    Well. Looks like I'm going to have to send my quad and controller in for repair.. Now I have to wait 6 weeks and hope they can fix it, and hope I don't get charged. Very disappointed. The take home lesson for me is NEVER upgrade your firmware for any reason.. While it probably works fine...

    Hard Resetting the Phantom 2 Naza Firmware

    Oh man... Sounds like we may be stuck with this horrible firmware for a while then, huh? Man. It would've been so easy to leave well enough alone.. They say "the enemy of good is great". Well, now I know what they mean. Thanks for the info. Hope to hear some good news somewhere.. In the...

    Version 1.08 of the Vision Assistant software

    Has anyone successfully downgraded from versions above v3.08? I'm trying to get back to v1.08 and it looks like I'm not alone. Every version above 1.08 has caused major stability issues for me, even after all of the proper calibrations (RC through both apps, IMU, compass..) I'm told, however...

    Downgrade from Firmware V3.00?

    Anyone happen to have successfully downgraded below v3.08? I'm read that it can't be done, even with the hard reset jumper cable trick. That true? (I'm desperately trying to get back to v1.08 due to major instabilities even after calibrating controller with both applications, calibrating IMU...

    Hard Resetting the Phantom 2 Naza Firmware

    So, has anyone successfully used this procedure to downgrade below v3.08? I'm trying to get back to v1.08 (I know, super old..) which was working incredibly well for me. Wish I had never upgraded and now I'm on the verge of throwing this POS into the ocean! I've read a few posts saying that...

    Reset Phantom 2 remote controller (DJ6) to factory settings?

    Well, no luck here. I calibrated the remote control through the PhantomRC app, and again through the Phantom Assistant, and I carefully advanced calibrated the IMU and calibrated the compass. But the quad still does not remain in an even hover anymore. It drifts quickly backwards with sticks...

    Reset Phantom 2 remote controller (DJ6) to factory settings?

    I'm starting to think this may not be a controller calibration issue, but perhaps related to firmware? I updated firmware the other day before doing the stick calibration. And I'm wondering if it's the firmward update that's causing drift? I checked to see if the IMU needs to be recalibrated...

    Reset Phantom 2 remote controller (DJ6) to factory settings?

    Hey Jason, thanks for the response. I've calibrated it a few times now, through the Phantom RC Assistant connected to my computer. Swirled the sticks around and all that. The switches aren't reversed, and I've tried both Mode 1 and Mode 2. Unfortunately, the controller was working well...

    Reset Phantom 2 remote controller (DJ6) to factory settings?

    Anyone know if there's a way to reset the Phantom 2 stock controller (DJ6) to factory defaults? I calibrated by controller, and now the Phantom flies as though the left stick is continually pushed backwards. I'd like to reset the remote controller completely, or at least reset the stick...
