how to factory reset the controller?

horizon · Oct 7, 2015

i need to reinstall the firmware to fix a corrupt one. anyone know how i might be able to do this? i saw a video where a drone was reset... has anyone done it with a controller?

i don't believe you can install a corrupt firmware. it either is successful or it fails. if it fails, doing another update will essentially reinstall it.

And "calibrate"???

Neither of those will fix the firmware issue. And yes I have messed with them alot. I have them set to minimum and still imo way to under sensitive for the controlled flight I am looking for my special needs filming.

The firmware was currupted beta testing an mapping app. Because I had to run them together. Now I need to re-install the firmware to fix a minor issue with the camera wheel.

I don't watch videos because youtube is blocked by my employer. That said, generally yes, but so far no one has been able to factory reset the bird... the controller is ancillary and doesn't matter 99% of the time.

Downgrade-p3p.zip has a program that is SUPPOSED to allow you to recover from a botched firmware update. However, it doesn't seem to work anymore. I suspect that's because you should just be able to load a valid firmware image and have it work no matter what state the aircraft is in.

gs_ofdm.bin is a program that is supposed to do the same for the RC. Again, I've not had it do much recently but I have always been able up install the newer firmwares (but you can only go back one version, thanks DJI...)

Hope it helps.

im about to do something im comfortable doing, i just want to be clear of he outcome...
can you please elaborate what these files will do?

Francisp3p · Apr 4, 2016

i just tried and nothing happened

Francisp3p · Apr 8, 2016

anyone out there? read previous post.

WHy no method for updating the remote controller works?

I tried sticking a thumbdrive, additional micro sd cards and adaptors.. nothing seems to work... I am trying to get my remote controller for my phantom 3 updated since my dji go all is the most recent and my phantom 3 has Fimrware version 1.06, the latest is 1.07 but it wasn't working so I was able to downgrade to 1.06

Try reinstalling DJI GO. If that does not resolve the issue, then please let us know which version of the firmware you have installed on your remote controller.

BTW, you cannot install the remote controller firmware via a memory card after installing 1.3. If needed, you can find detailed installation instructions here.

Hello, i already tried reinstallig dji go app 5 times and resetting miniipad also, what is weird is that for 5 seconds i was able to get camera view and i saw the firmware warning message saying that i needed to install 1.3.20 on the remote controller, so if you ask me what version i have on remote controller i really dont know, im one of those who never updated the remote controller.

I want to sell this thing!! Anyone interested?
