Gday everyone , I've been tying all night ( about 25 times ) to load the new firmware on my p3a with no result .. The aircraft won't start the loading process and just blinks yellow , no beeping.
1. Download the firmware
2. Unzip it
3. Drag into the sd card
4. Place aircraft and turn on.

This is what I've always done with success ... Not tonight .. I can't figure it out ..

Josh

4 - find .bin file
5. Drag .bin file only into the blank sd card
6. Place aircraft and turn on.

I assume you are updating to the latest FW.

This is saying that you need to update RC as well Aircraft. RC can be updated by clicking the link " download firmware" shown above. Keep AC off. It will need mobile Internet on.

Next step will be to go to DJI site on your computer and download P3A FW.
Phantom 3 Advanced - Specs, FAQ, Tutorials, Downloads and DJI GO | DJI

Unzip it on computer and copy it to the root of your ad card. Check the file name, it should have bin extension. Place it on SF card at root, insert the card on gimbal slot. Switch on AC. Keep RC off.

Installation will start. Wait until little led on gimbal turns solid green, means no more red green blinking. It might take 10-25 minutes.

Switch off AC All done

Now switch on in this sequence:

RC >>>> Go App >>>>> AC

Any luck? Any problem? We can discuss here.

Maybe a bad download of the bin file? Try to re download.

tried and tried again , aircraft won't seem to load the file …

Make sure you don't have an old bin on card too. Only one can be used at a time. Check the log file on card for errors.

Be sure to set your computer to show hidden files too. Good luck.

I just took it for a fly in my yard on the new 2.7.2 GO app , flew fine with old aircraft firmware .. Think I will just leave it at that before I throw it into the ocean
