Just hack the URL and you can go back in time:

So far that verbaige has been in both updates. I suspect they will just leave that wording in all future updates. At first I was thinking there might be a time when an update changes something so much that a future update won't be able to even start without the prior programming. However, your post brings to mind that I don't know if I've ever seen DJI leave prior updates on their website. If they don't, then a person would be screwed. So now I'm thinking two things... either this is still correct and at some time DJI may leave a prior firmware on their site or its just a way for DJI to "push" people to install each and every update as they are released.
It's a pain in the arse to mess around with the whole memory card routine every time. They should just ping it via the app to the tx and bird.
Hehe, I'm sure the good people in this forum will download and save the different versions and help you out if you need it. At least I will.
I am already at v1.1.8 and won't be able to update my p3A for a week or so.

First thing I read...then followed the thread, said to myself ....this is why tigers eat their young. Then those that don't know what root is?
What link for previous releases? If you just change the version number in the URL, you can download that version. So, in your example, you'd change it to 1.1.9 and download it...
I understand the concept, and should have said "Until those DJi URL for previous F/W releases disappears when v1.1.10 is put out."
Well, 1.1.6 is still there w/ 1.1.9 out, so...
Anyway, just download them all now and keep a collection.
I agree. Everything else I own can update its firmware via an internet connection. I don't have to use a thumb drive to update my computer's motherboard. On the other hand, I guess if some people fly their phantom without using a tablet or lack an internet connection then it makes sense. Also, maybe thousands of users downloaded a firmware update at the same time would overload their servers and lead to greater frustration? Who knows.

what does "cpgz' mean at the end of the file after I unzip the file? Do I keep both on the SD card before updating?

Blade, I thought as much since I went directly to 1.1.8 when I updated. They should consider changing the verbiage in the release notes so no one else gets confused.
