oh i assumed you were connecting the camera to your computer.
so what files are on the SD card now?
and yes, just the bin

My firmware has been updating for 45 minutes... when do I disconnect?

OK, I just took the .bin file and put it on the root of the SD card (this pdf is poorly written "Extract the all downloaded files") and now it's actually making constant "D D D D" noises like something is actually happening. I misunderstood the 4 beeps that happen when you turn it ON with these beeps. Now it's most definitely beeping constantly. So another 25 minutes of this. I need more light in this room - the flashing is gonna give me a seizure. Update soon. 
So instead of extracting all downloaded files into the root - should I just have put the .bin file into the root?!?!? Maybe I should just try it again?
Yes you just need the .bin file on the root dont keep it in a folder on the card.
I also deleted every thing else on the card to just to be sure that was the only thing on it.

Wow that's quite a difference. And now I'm seeing all these disconnect issues mid-flight with the new firmware?!?! This is like buying a freaking PS4 - you spend the majority of your day updating before it ever flies.
IN MY DAY WE BLEW ON THE CART and hit POWER.
Alright, we have success. It took roughly 9 minutes. It is confusing because though the beeps change - they still keep repeating. From the pdf it makes it sound like it will beep 4 times when it starts, and the "D.... D D" when it's done and that's it. No, that bastard is beeping forever. Now for the controller. Wait, before I do this - can I fly it without updating the controller? I honestly cannot reschedule this trip to Vegas for the shoot Saturday. If I brick this thing - I'm beyond screwed.

This will depend on which update you are performing, and what fw version you are updating from.
The 1.1.6 update took a while, but still not 25 minutes.
The update from 1.1.6 to 1.1.8 went very quick.
I'm sure DJI covers their bases saying it may take 25 minutes knowing that a large update may take some time, and this keeps people from freaking out.
If they said the update would only take 10 minutes, everyone would be posting freak outs at minute 11.

Alright so everything is updated and ready to go... of course comes the next issue - after all that? My battery is at 55%. Since I only have one, are we really expected to go fly it to drain it and then recharge it all the way back? Or is it really going to kill the thing to charge it to 100% before I go out and do the maiden voyage?
The beeping doesn't stop on the P3 when the firmware is done updating. The beeping pitch changes.

Hey, in case you haven't heard yet, I think you just need the .bin file in the root.....
Yes, the .bin file is probably in a folder in the root, you need to move it to the root.
I know scrolling up 2 or 3 comments is hard, but we're good people. Now just dealing with this bizarre warm battery issue.
Thank you for that. Unfortunately I couldn't charge it because it was too warm from the updating.
