Got a P3 Standard in December of 2015. Friend crashed it. Made him buy it. He sat on it till now and I got it back from him to fix and keep for myself. Minor damage other than Gimbal twitching on start up and ribbon cable nicked so I replaced it. I get messages saying I need to update and a weak signal on remote controller on DJI App and no video. I relinked the remote control to drone. I have a green light. I still don't have a good connection on DJI Ap and it still says weak signal. I then tried to do a Firmware update since it's been sitting since Dec. 2015. I tried the latest update but it failed 3 times after trying to format sd card and trying new sd card which was formatted as well. I downloaded the update onto sd card then put it in drone when I tried because I get a (Device Disconnected. Please check) on the DJI App. and it won't install from the app. So what do I try next? After looking all over internet I'm guessing I need older firmware versions??? HELP!!!
Phantom 3 Standard need updates from Dec. 2015

From the firmware since dec 2015 up to now sept 2017 I am guessing the leap is to big. You may need to start updating with a few firmware updates from 2016. Just a guess mind you and I could be wrong

If you google dji go firmware it will be easily found. I don't have access to a laptop at the moment so I can't send you the link I have (also requested the mods to keep it as a sticky note on here) but hopefully you will be able to get hold of it before I upload the link in a few hours

You can try this link as it has a few of the ones that you can try
Phantom 3 Standard firmware v1.8.10 is now available to download!

I've noticed weak signal in my home when the drone is sitting next to the controller. I suspect my home wi-fi is interfering. Never get that message in the field.
Well, I tried downloading some of the older firmware and installedit on the sd card, put it back in, turned on the drone and I don't get the blinking red and green light. It just blinks green then solid green within 10 seconds.
ok i tried power on the drone for over 20 minutes and still no change in lights. Just stayed solid green. What's next? Lol
The correct way to load updates on the P3S is via the wi-fi and not via the SD card. Given that all the updates contain a full 'firmware' set, you should be able to just load the latest one.
Trouble is - you already tried installing later FW ... that effectively shuts out earlier FW from installing.
Second - the P3S can be updated from the SD card ... it is not necessary to just do it via WiFi ... all WiFi does is copy the FW to the card and then card does the install ...
There is no reason to do any intermediate installs ... as long as you are going UP in FW ...
All FW versions are available via Papa Tita website or Phantomhelp.com

Great! That's good to know. So your saying if I can get the latest FW it doesn't matter about the older versions, correct? I'll try it again!
Ok I installed latest FW on sd card and installed it on drone. I turned on drone and got red and green lights for a few seconds then it went straight red solid. It's still running now and making 3 beeping noises like it's installing. Is it though? Or because of solid red light it means it failed?
Your app should tell you if it failed but based on my one experience updating it beeps like that during installation.
