New motors - firmware lower than 1.4.1?

FredzMaxxUAV · Mar 9, 2016

Is it possible to downgrade a P3 with new motors to firmware lower than 1.4.1?
I *think* all birds with new motors were delievered with a version that could not be downgraded to 1.1.9 - but I am not sure. Anyone knows?

I got a "new motor" on 1.32 , whats yers on?

Really, dirtybum, is it the W323A oder W323 model (on the box)? When/where did you buy it?
Did it come with 1.3.2 or did you downgrade it?

W322A 1.3.2 came like that upgraded to 1.6. ( shouldve stayed for a while) i have no issues w/ 1.6 I have two p3a's on 1.6, and I can tell you from experience I believe it to be true that you get stronger video signal farther out with the old motors than you do with the new motors.
I also got a pro on 1.19 only got a couple flights on it but from experience so far I don't find it to be faster like everybody says 1.19 is

Can you tell me how you downgraded 1.3.20 to 1.1.9? Some report that downgrading from 1.3.20 to 1.1.9 breaks the camera on new motors models.
And what about old models (W323), can downgrade from 1.3.20 to 1.1.9 be done easily?

If you happen across the post regarding camera breaking due to downgrade please post a link, i'd like to read it. (Not for any other reason, i'm just interested) BTW Fredz, did you try the downgrade yet? I know when the 1.19 i have was downgraded from 1.26 it shows its a 1.19 (+)

So you have downgraded from 1.3.20 to 1.2.6 and then to 1.1.9?

I was looking for a a/c on 1.19 so i could explore the idea that it was optimal for longrange. I found a member w/ one for sale that was on 1.26 and presale request HE downgraded to 1.19 bin file he had saved. When he downgraded it shows 1.19 +.
I've asked everyone and havent got a consistent answer what the plus means.
However I don't see why you couldn't downgrade 1.32 to 1.26 and so on

I used the service bin file. I was having problems downgrading to 1.1.9 from 1.3.2 but I used the service bin file and then flashed 1.1.9.

So that works? New or old motors?

Could you use that service file on 1.4 and above to go to 1.1.9?

I can't say for certain but I remember reading that some people's were unable to use the bin after a certain firmware. I can't remember which version it was and if it is certainly confirmed.
