Latest firmware bricked my gimbal...

[Phantom_Menace66]

Turned on my P4P+ and there was a notification of new firmware available, so I updated it... Now the gimbal is fixed in the straight ahead position and gimbal wheel on controller has no effect. Thought I'd try a gimbal calibration, bad idea. Soon as the calibration starts the gimbal turns hard right and makes a horrible screeching/grinding noise then returns to just off center to the left, no up/down movement during calibration at all... It's completely screwed.
Would not advise updating if you haven't already, yet another most likely untested firmware upgrade by these imbeciles at DJI. Is there any way to downgrade firmware to the previous version?

I don't know if it relates, but have a look at this thread New Firmware V01.04.0602

You may have downgraded by now. Just connect the birdie to the pc and load the app and you can see previous versions to downgrade.

Thanks for the reply, yes I already downgraded the firmware and everything is fine once again. I'm ignoring any messages on my screen regarding upgrades from now on! If it's working, why mess with it right? Lol

Hi if you only recently purchased the Phantom, there maybe no previous update as you have not performed any. Others here might offer more advice to you.
Good luck
