Nice quick video although I am struggling. I have my new goggles V2 from an FPV Combo unit. I’ve activated the goggles and connected to DJI Assistant and I’m on V01.02.0000. I can’t root it doesn’t work. Do I need to upgrade or download to anything? Also I can’t switch modes as on the goggles display it’s just asking to update firmware
its nice, but i think i just keep my goggles in its orriginal state. i have learned to only have corsair, voltage, LQ, timer and MB's. anything more is just distracting if you fly fast past and around objects. you dont need that fancy looking artificial horizon at all you should be able to react to what you see anyway. i always gloss over my corsair and LQ that are both somewhat in the middle and only focus on them when i need to aim myself throug something. Can the V2 goggle have sound from that air unit?
Both V1 and V2 Goggles can get Live Audio from the Air Unit as it has a microphone. Personally I don’t use all those elements, there were just to show all the random things you can use. I have a standard layout I use Top Centre - Craft Name - Warnings Bottom Left - Avg Cell Voltage - RSSI - LQ - VTX Channel
I have seen multiple youtubers emphasize that only v1 goggles will output the sound. I've heard claims that DJI changed something in the hardware in the v2 goggles so, while the software/firmware supports it, the goggles do not output the sound.
@@DarrenAllatt Would that have to do with PAL or NTSC in BETAFLIGHT settings? My main OSD looks ok just the post flight stats have spaces between the words. Nothing is in order.
@@DarrenAllatt Hi, I've just checked and yes the version is 01.00.0606, I was also wondering if it was newer would it be possible to rollback to that version. Thanks for the reply
What are the CLI commands for INAV anyone? And in INAV/ports when you set DJI FPV there is special place for peripherals where you pick DJI FPV OSD. It's not usually set to MSP, although I can set it. What should it be?
per the wiki Select "HDZero VTx" as the Peripheral. Next, select "HD" in the OSD tab if you'd like to use the HD Canvas. If the iNav OSD appears garbled at first, try entering the iNav menus using the RC sticks, and then exiting the menus. This will force INAV to switch into HD mode a second time. Due to a known issue, the INAV artificial horizon and other elements can become corrupted in packet loss situations. To work around this, assign a blank OSD screen to a switch, or assign a switch to the OSD feature. Toggling to a blank screen or turning the OSD on and then off will fix display corruption.
set displayport_msp_serial = YOUR_UART_PORT_NUMBER - 1 Doesnt seem to work on BF 4.4.. i have set it to Port 5 as my Dji unit is on Port 6 but it doesnt work in the CLI. Thanks
@@DarrenAllatt I appreciate the swift reply, that's disappointing. I wonder if flashing a different image on the FPV Drone would brick it completely. Would be nice for more versatility/control on rooted/jail-broken FPV Drone models.
@@KirwinWebb I don’t believe the current developers of the Root have an incentive to work on any hacks for the FPV Drone as they fly FPV Hobby Grade Drones
This doesn't look too hard. I have the V2 goggles and 5 Vistas and one 03 air unit that I haven't opened or used yet. By the time I get done I will have rooted 6 things so I should be good at this by the time I'm done. Assuming everything goes well. Things rarely go well for me. We shall see though. Great video.

@@DarrenAllatt OK, many thanks for your response. The FCs will have to be updated. Another question if you can solve it for me, if for example I hack the glasses, would they still work with an air unit / caddx vista / runcam link without doing the hack? Or if I hack the glasses and the AU / view / link, could I continue using them as before, with the basic osd? Thank you.
Each attempt ends with a message ,,Aborted! Device did not reboot in time, please power cycle and try again.,, Dji Gogles V2 FW 01.00.0606. what can I do?
I tried this and got smoked. I was able to get as far as having some betaflight menu text pop up on my DJI osd during the power up; but once power cycle completes BF osd disappears. I have uninstalled WTFOS on both my vista and goggles and I have cli dumped back to factory cli and then restored with my configuration. Now my RC says it has telem and is properly bound, but I get no response in or out of betaflight.

Hey Jackson, sorry to hear you are having issues. Let’s help you solve this. Firstly, what FPV drone are you using? Is it one you bought or built? What radio controller and transmitter do you have?

I believe you are on newer firmware which isn't compatible with this mod
its nice, but i think i just keep my goggles in its orriginal state.

you dont need that fancy looking artificial horizon at all you should be able to react to what you see anyway.
i always gloss over my corsair and LQ that are both somewhat in the middle and only focus on them when i need to aim myself throug something.
Can the V2 goggle have sound from that air unit?
Both V1 and V2 Goggles can get Live Audio from the Air Unit as it has a microphone.
Personally I don’t use all those elements, there were just to show all the random things you can use.
I have a standard layout I use
Top Centre
- Craft Name
- Warnings
Bottom Left
- Avg Cell Voltage
- RSSI
- LQ
- VTX Channel
I have seen multiple youtubers emphasize that only v1 goggles will output the sound. I've heard claims that DJI changed something in the hardware in the v2 goggles so, while the software/firmware supports it, the goggles do not output the sound.
Air unit? Plug-in to Fc or vtx?
Sorry what do you mean?
Does this vold your DJI warranty on the Goggles and the Vista unit?
I don’t know, but I would assume not as it’s only software not hardware and can be removed
Do you have to do this to both the goggles and 03 unit ?
O3 doesn’t need this, latest firmware for Googles v2 and O3 supports canvas mode natively. This is only for Vista’s and original Air Units
So how do I get osd to work?
@@Chillin-fpvon O3?
Yes please? Is it just going to the preset tab and selecting the wtf os osd preset then selecting what uart the 03 is plugged into?
@@Chillin-fpv you’ll need to set up the port tab correctly and then configure your OSD
Nice job, thanks a lot
I will try
but, you dont need the version 606 for work the hack after root? i have a big problem whit that tanks
Sorry I am not current on the detail from this as I don’t have any more vistas since the release of the O3 Air Unit.
The WTF guys should make a preset like my hdzero preset to do the command line stuff with a few check boxes
I’ll go hassle the WTF to get it done
it worked but I had 2 osd's the the new one stopped working.
that's useful .catch you later.mate!
How can I get my final flight stats to show without the gaps? I looked at the Github page and cant seem to figure it out.
That’s got to do with how it’s rendered on the BF display. Which setting have you got it on at

Can i do with dji integra?
No, there is no need. With the latest firmware it gives you OSD
