You beat me to it. Was going to offer a similar answer. Format the card in the P3, and load just the .bin file (not the ZIP file) in the root directory. Place the card back in the unit. Keep the controller off. Then power up the P3. If still no good, is it possible it's already been updated? Is there a text file?
Who's been flying with new Firmware and Go App

I flew it today with the new firmware and new año and everything Works perfect , the vps problems are definitively solved , thanks to god ..
I was flying it last night at la Jolla. Here are some pix. Also showing in my pix in the sunset shots that the horizon is now pretty level. That's 5 batteries and all horizon shots are much more level with the update. The horizon used to be horrible for me before.

What on God's green earth...these are STUNNING?
Are you a professional photographer/editor?
Whenever you start giving classes let me know, I would kill to have the knowledge to be able to produce photos like that.
Hats off to you.
Last night. New firmware. 370' altitude. No issues of any kind.
I have upgraded to DJI GO, and firmware1.3.20. I have not seen any issues. Seems to be ok. Just have to get use to the new interface on the app., other than that, good to go.
Mine works great. I did all the firm ware updates as they came. Did all the gear + 2 extra batts

NewI use a piece of 1 1/2" X 4' block styrofoam insulation (from Home Depot) for $5.00. It has a aluminum on one side and is white on the other side. I made one piece that is 2' x 2' and I set it on my foldable trailer that I use to bring all my stuff out to the middle of the field. It makes a great table. Then I made a round one to use as a take off and landing pad. But it was too light and would start to lift up a little bit when I was above it hovering to line up for setting it down. So I added some long nails (8"X1/8") and stuck them into the styrofoam. Then I put a ring of Duck Tape Around the outside, and its just right now. It is so easy to land, just take your time. It just hovers and you can make 1" moves.
With 13 flights and 25 landings I have no stress cracks and no close calls. I still have 17 more short (30% batt usage each flight) Flights to do to do the proper break in process that they say you should do. (10 for 10) and I have 3 batteries.
As far as filming I just start the recorder before I lift off and stop when I land. That way I'm not thinking about the filming. My last one was pretty good. It was 8.2 minutes long and you learn a lot each time you fly.
And I treat it like a &1,300.00 toy, with respect. I watched hundreds of videos on u tube while waiting for it to arrive.
I also got the special signal booster for the antenna and I don't worry about the signal cutting out, the signal is supper strong.

I put the $25.00 range extender on just for my piece of mind. It also fits in my go pro case without taking it off. My bird is ready to fly right out of the case. Props stay on while its in the case. I also have the latest sun shade which makes the perfict set-up. I switched from a case for my air2 to a stock cover. It stays cool in the sun shade because it is bare and I make sure all apps are closed and in airplane mode.
With 40 minutes of continuous use, no heating up even while taking vedio the whole time.
Yea i took the plunge and havnt really had any problems as such. I do get a unknown error 42 every time i try snd start the craft and need to take the battery out and put it back in before it will start up. I think this could be the new barometer error tho as i had that problem on 1.9 a lot. Waiting on confirmation of that tho, but i dont get the barometer error any more just this 42 error instead only now its every time i try and start which is anoying. No way of getting an out of whach barometer back in shape tho from what i know. Might try another really cold IMU to see if that stops it but i doubt it will.
I noticed the new Go DJI app for I phones is released; but, I don't see the same for Android. 2 questions
1) If I don't have the Go DJI app on my android, should I still update the firmware on my P3 Advanced?
2) Should I update both the P3 and Controller with the new firmware if I don't have the Go DJI app on my Android?
3) Any idea when DJI will release the Go DJI app for Androids?
Thanks,
Jimmy

Flew 3 batts today after updating. Did IMU & Stick calibration after the update. Mods looked good so I didn't do the compass. At the beginning of the first flight the P3P seemed to struggle to maintain altitude, it would bob up and down and I could hear the motors revving up and down as it was trying to maintain its altitude. I don't have VPS turned on, but to be sure I took it to about 3m. I considered bringing it down, but had full control, so decided to ride it out. After a few minutes it settled down and I didn't see a repeat of the bobbing for the remaining flight.
I had issues with previous firmware and was flying with VPS off. I intended to revert to previous firmware but this one seems to have corrected all problems. Not sure about reported signal issues as have not / will not fly out of line of sight. Go app although a bit different is also better IMHO. Overall much happier now.
DJI has named it the "GO App". Yes, it replaces the Pilot app on both IOS and Android devices. Except, it's not available for Android yet. So you can update the firmware on the quadcopter and the RC exactly as before, via the BIN file. The "old" Pilot app will continue to work until the GO app is available for Android devices.

Do I have to upgrade firmware or RC or is it the latest so far

I have probably been one of the most vocal and leading protagonists regarding the most recent firmware "foul"-up, but I must say the new update and controller seem to have worked well and I'm not sending my P3Pro back for a refund as suggested by my cc company.
I won't be hanging around the forum much now. I'll be out flying instead.

Yes I did imu calibration gimbal calibration both done on level surfaces glass on top of motors for verification with level Bird facing north and cold also think I did it one time on a blue moon standing on 1 foot and a these fix the issue on either bird Verizon is level facing north south but when you very from those two directions it's off not just an intermittent issue as I've seen almost hundred posts on this form alone different people with the same exact issuedefinitely should be able to be addressed in a firmware update as it has to be a magnetic issue on how the compass is interacting with gimbal
