I don't think it matters. Firmware updates are generally inclusive, so installing the latest should encompass previous ones. However, if you insist on the previous versions, just change the version number in the URL of the current one on the DJI website and it'll download that version. eg,
This may not be the case-- There were instructions from DJI saying that the firmware in the aircraft should be the last known version before updating to the current release version. I think there are even posts on this forum and on youtube videos regarding this very issue. I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know for sure.
I'm 99% certain @blade strike and/or @Tahoe Ed said you don't have to update incrementally on the rcgroups forum. Kind of makes sense if you think about it. It's firmware for the onboard hardware. How could you write code that updates one part of the bird, but leave that updated code out of the next update? It would overwrite what was previously updated.
As a follow up, could those that have updated to the new version, go back and reinstall the older version??So that statement was incorrect -- thanks!
In theory, yes, but since there's a version checker in place that runs prior to the update process beginning, no. At least not until we find a way to factory reset the bird.
BobSo that statement was incorrect -- thanks!
Yes, there were even comments made by a couple of youtube contributors that stated that the previous version of the firmware had to be installed and that updates could not be skipped.... Im not updating to just released version just yet, but I have retained the bin file, just in case.
It's simply incredible the amount of flat-out WRONG information out there! One would do well to check the sources wisely. Sometimes you'll even know better yourself!
The problem is also prevalent with info coming from authorized DJI dealers who should know but are apparently advancing their own theories which may or may not be right.
Dealers generally don't know s*it. Their job is to sell inventory. Come here first.
