Man My drone haven’t turn on in weeks because of that update bro you save my life. The moment I followed your instructions I was able to turn my drone on!!!! Not even DJI tech support couldn’t help me and you did bro. Your a life saver you deserve an award 🥇!!! BEST ON UA-cam
I`ve followed all your steps, I`ve downloaded DJI Assistant 2 logged in also plugged in the USB after the sound, but it doesn`t show that I`m connected.
I just used this exact procedure you created and I want to personally thank you, it Worked flawlessly as I followed it to the letter, THANK YOU SO much brother! 5/20/23
THANK YOU! This video fixed my problem - I didn't know about the DJI assistant 2 software which I installed and used to correctly update the firmware on my DJI Mini 2. I had the red blinking status light and solid battery LED's #1 and 4. I followed the normal firmware process in that program and luckily didn't need to do the hack mentioned in this video. But I didn't even know about the assistant software until watching this video, so thank you again!
Thanks for this excellent tutorial. Since I bought my Mini 2 in November 2020 I had not managed to enable the firmware option in the DJI Assistant app. I thought it was a defect in my drone. Now, thanks to your video I have been able to. Here you have a new subscriber. Greetings from Granada, Spain 👋
I can tell the community, I've NEVER had any issues with loss of connection, before and after updating, although when flying distances of 4 to 5 km with my MINI2 ! And that in a 'not easy' surrounding in Switzerlands difficult and mountaineous countryside. So I wish you the same: easy droning with this really capable little monster 👌
I know it has been some time since you posted this video. My Mini2 is doing the same thing, but I can't even get it to be recognized in the DJI Assistant 2 Software. I guess I will have to return it back to DJI, although it seems funny that this happens right after the warranty has expired.
Thank you, You saved my life My Mini 2 could not read Battery percentage and I could not fly it nor update it but i could update it using your hack in the video, thank you very much :)
Excellent Gav, nice to see your putting out helpful content, the other site you mentioned?.........He's just a DJI fan boy and barks on about his drone has no issues and he's sick of people saying there is an issue...........how can he possibly state people are not experiencing issues, crazy!!!
The funny thing is that he consistently bangs on about how he wants a firmware update to address his own gimbal issues. My gimbal has always been fine with every update, so by his own logic he's whining and lying for clicks.
Literally typed a reply 3 times now haha! Yes it's very crazy! Too many people are reporting an issue for there not to be one. The silly thing is, on the video on question Gary at around 3:22 I think it was you can see the video lag clear as day and immediately just after and they switch to camera feed both times to hide it.
Regardless of whether people are having issues, its a really useful tip on how to downgrade / update firmware using the DJI assistant. I'd updated and not noticed any issues however I've not done anything more than a few hundred metres since updating - so out of interest I've tried to downgrade just to see how simple it was. Thanks for the video - very informative.
I guessed exactly who you was referring to, so went and checked out his video...... he certainly gave you a bashing there! On reading his subscriber comments though, it appears a hell of a lot of them are now suffering the same issues, although he doesn't answer those? Keep up the good work Gav, I certainly wouldn't disbelieve you.
Gets even more amusing when on that video there is lag around 3:22 and then again just after so they cut to the camera feed to hide it. Go check it out 😊 yes indeed it doesn't look like many of the commenters appreciated being called liars and give a bashing back.
my mavic air 2 is giving the error 30064 and I don't know what else to do it doesn't take off and doesn't even give a signal. can you do it on mavic air 2 too?
Thanks very much for posting this. Having suffered severe connection issues since upgrading to V01.03.0000 my next step in trying to fix it was to wind back the firmware, but I didn't know how. I got excited once I saw your video and followed your advice straight away, confident that I would be back to flying successfully. However, the connection issues remain, aaarrrggghhh! Back to the drawing board for me, but thanks again for this very useful info.

Just did the step by step,but only got the newest firmware on listed not a list of old firmware like you got.Maybe i did something wrong or it doesnt work anymore.A bit disappointed wanted a roll back version.Your videos are easy to follow thanks.
Downgraded today, flew at local beach to just over 1,000m with very little signal loss though did have some slight camera jitter, Upgraded back to most recent and got to just over 500m and lost signal, managed to get back ok but looks to me like newest upgrade needs looking at as some of us ARE getting problems:(. TY GAVINHR for showing how to up/downgrade when we have problems :)
Thank you very much for letting me know how you got on! I really appreciate that and yes it seems you have a back to back test to prove it like I did. Feel free to share this video it's greatly appreciated ☺️
I would have sent video but sadly, I forgot to hit the record :( I will be doing a rerun in the near future and will do my best to remember to hit record. I have had problems since the recent upgrade and some thought it was just something I was doing wrong but your help in up/downgrading has given me something to work with. I will send vids of next test as soon as I have them

HI thanks so much. I've been following your channel for a while now. I have an issue of my DJI mini 3 after new firmware update it's disconnect after after every minute. I tried resetting my RC controller still the same issue. I've tried DJI assistant 2 but there is no downgrade firmware. I'm worried any solution? Stay blessed and safe all the time. Welbeck here from Accra Ghana Thanks 🙏🙏
Thanks Gavin, I followed your easy to understand instructions today on my new mini 2 to install firmware 01.03.0000 worked perfectly. Hope you having a happy Easter
the defultsetting file does not show even with hidden files ticked please send cloud link or specify how to get a hold to then edit the file as shown in your awesome vid! Note: i need this for my mavic air 2 + 2s
Great tutorial Gav! I still find it strange how only certain folks have this connection issue. Ce version of the Mini 2 and no problems. Gav you must do a new video now on a comparison of how it performs from the previous firmware update. 👍
I've been flying my updated Mini 2 out in the open field and as far as I can tell, there's been no signficant decline on my signal. Still the same. But if some people are experiencing connection problems I hope DJI gets to have it fixed soon
After speaking to dji about range issues they sent me labels to send it in for a look, a few days later they sent me pics of damage to rear arm and top cover with a bill for nearly 200eu. My drone was undamaged when sent, just range probs. Be very careful if you send it in...
@@GAVINHR I told them that it was only sent in because of range issue and that it had no damage, they sent pics back of dated droneand if I wanted it repairing it was going to cost me. I sent pics of it flying the day I posted to them (undamaged) and they said they would do tests to check if it had been crashed (negative result) Still had to pay or have it back broken.. I will never buy from them Again!! I have the messages that were sent both ways but it boils my blood to read them again. Long reply, sorry 😞 end result= I paid, drone due back tomorrow.. still fuming 😡
Great video... what a life saver. I use Linux so I tried the Assistant app using wine🍷 but I couldn't connect to the drone. I ended up using a Virtual Box with Win 10. Enabling usb on vbox can be tricky too. But it worked!
As a newby flier, 70 plus, I've always updated as per the dji fly app instructions. So far so good. Haven't yet had any issues but haven't yet flown it a great distance, too scared to lose it at the moment. Great videos like this aid the likes of me in understanding this great little drone. Would appreciate a video how to have the flight details recorded on the video so I can learn better from my flights. I'm on Android and a PC. Thanks again Gavin, glad I subscribed.
Hi Paul thank you for watching. What I would suggest is you sign up for a site / app called Airdata UAV - you can set it to sync with the DJI fly app and you will find it utterly fascinating all the data it collects! Give it s go and let me know what you think!
Thanks for video it's great. I have 1 question.. my drone turned of in a middle od updating (52%).. but on phone screen was updating to 100% I turn on the drone and it looks like all is fine😮 how is this possible? Should I make a hack and go back to oldre version or shall I live it? What do you think? I didn't fly after this much.. I just try to start and I made small circle around garden... I'm a little bit afraid about longer trip.. what should I do?
If it’s working it’s working would be the way I see it, there would be no mark plugging it into DJI assistant 2 and just refreshing the firmware just to put yohr mind at rest
Gav - hello and than you for your detailed explanations.... Just purchased a Mini 2 and have problems connecting it and linking the drone to RC. Can you please elaborate on that please?
Gavin, Thank you for the quick response. I am connected with the cable - it just will not link.... I'll try again and send a screen shot. It says aircraft not connected to RC, when I try to re-pair - it goes through the process and than an error saying re-pairiing unsuccessful... The Blue light flashes and goes steady - but no pairing. Additionally I also fail Flight Mode switching process. I removed the DJI Fly app and re-installed couple of times.- I have an OnePlus 6t mobile/ As a result of the above - I did not reach the stage where I can look through the drone's parameters to see software / firmware revisions and all the other parameters. Kind of frustrating.....
Thanks again for this video. I noticed my drone seemed to be playing up , with more glitches since the latest update, so have just rolled back to previous version. I just got to 100% transmitted when my laptop crashed for some unknown, so lucky it all worked when restarted my drone. A few second earlier, it may have been a different story, so next time i do something like this , i will use my desktop which hopefully wont crash on me .
My Mini 2 was showing my firmware as N/A. I contacted DJI support and they explained where I had to change the "0" to a "1" actually in the spot you indicated in your video. However there were two "0"s that I changed to "1"s as per DJI. If it was not for your video I would have been stuck. Problem sorted GREAT VIDEO!! I was so frustrated prior to watching your video I nearly sent my Mini 2 back to DJI for them to deal with it. I have an additional question prior to my firmware going to N/A within the DJI Fly app I could start my motors in low light conditions, now I cant. That is unless I provide a light source using a flashlight in dark conditions and shine it at the drone. I take it one of the sensors is picking up that light. I recall clicking on something in the app to permit the motors to start in low light months ago. Is there a way to reset it to enable the motors to start in low light conditions?
Great info. I am one of the ones who suspect there might be a range issue after the latest update. ( can't get by 250m range at 100m without loss of signal and RTH on the exact flight route as I have used loads of times without any issues on previous firmware ) Will give it another week and if things still look iffy with the latest firmware I will downgrade using you rinstructions
Works on a Mac just have to dig around to find the file. Not had any problems with disconnection yet but happy to know I can downgrade if necessary. Thank you for the info
Haha I'm not mentioning any names 🤣 not getting drawn into that again ! Haha but hey, if channels want to dismiss their own viewers findings then that's an interesting tactic 🤣 I won't be adopting it I'll continue to help people 🙂
Okey bro this ain't working anymore like you showed us.....! I'm getting the firmware update tab but i can only see the current firmware....not the once before.....! Any idea how to resolve this issue....?!
Hello, great video. Do you know if this mod still needs to be done as of 11-30-22? Thanks! Oh and, amazing accent! Forgive my naivety, but where are you from?
Really useful info. Much appreciated. Haven't flown much at all with latest firmware, and when I did, it wasn't more than some 300' distance from home spot, plus it was out in countryside away from any possible transmission reception interference.
Which firmware is the best and most stable firmware for my mini 2? I rolled back my fly app to 1.4.4. Which firmware would go hand in hand with the 1.4.4 flyapp ver.
@@GAVINHR Hi Gavin, haven't been on PC much but been watching videos on smart TV, sadly can't comment or "Like", made up for it now. I did a test flight this morning and all seems well except when the gimbal is pointing down there was a few times when it "kicked" and it was quite noticeable. Hopefully DJI will get another update sorted to fix the previous one. Then we will need another to fix that one, and so on and so on.............................. Just a quick question, do you format the card in your PC or the drone?
Hey! can you help? I wanted to change the flight parameters on dji mini se through the dji assistant 2 v1.1.2 service menu, but the program does not see the drone. Or maybe you know how to call Dev Tools on assistant 2 consumer drones series dji?
hello my friend i'm brazilian i'm watching your very explanatory video congratulations, but my DJI mini 2 doesn't appear downgrade in the list can you give me any tips?
Good info and we'll done on finding/working out the workaround.👍 The only fly in the ointment (there's always one) is, this doesn't downgrade the firmware in the remote. So, if they have altered anything ocusync wise within the RC you can't roll that back. 😢
You can actually downgrade firmware on the controller also using this software it was only the mini 2 firmware they didn't allow for some strange reason
@@GAVINHR I know you can normally, just wasn't sure your 'hacked' method would allow it Do you plug the RC via USB into the PC to downgrade or will it downgrade from the package in the aircraft?
My camera avd gimble were destroyed I just deleted them in hopes of running my GoPro on top and now it won't even take off lol anyway around this will it work if I firmware downgrade or whatever it's called ?
love the video but I need more help. I have been following what to do step by step but when it ask me to conect the drone nothing happens on the computer just continue to say conect drone. now when I plugged the drone into computer, the computer beeps but the screen continue to say conect drone. is there a software I need so my computer can recognize the drone. need help going on vacation to Greece on the 16th and my quick shot not working from last update 1.6.4 I need 1.5.10 back
Hey Gavin, sup? Look do I need also to downgrade the remote controller firmware too, or just the drone's fw ? Does this procedure work with the mini SE too ? Ty for sharing the knowledge.
Hi Marc, no only the drone fw needs rolling back nothing else 🙂 the issue was primarily with the mini 2 so I've not tried the SE but you shouldn't really have a need to do so on that drone. Hope that helps
Thank you for this very informative video Gavin. Just a random question hoping for some advice. Im using my mini 2 for over a month now with my Redmi Note 5. Then just updated to 1.4.4 and flew a couple of times with no issues. But suddenly after a week my cellphone wont connect to RC. The charging is working but fluctuating. Tried to other moblie device (but not compatible) just to see if it charges and it does and it was stable. Do you think it rules out the cable being defective? Any thoughts on this?
If it's intermittent and stopping and starting I think the easiest option would be to try the cable yes to be honest. If it wasn't working at all then I would suggest a device issue
Very informative video, thank you! Per your instructions, I modified the Assistant 2 and stopped at the point of actually doing the downgrade. If DJI doesn't give us a firmware update to restore lost signal strength in a week or so, I'll do the downgrade. Thanks again!
Hey Gav, would this process still work with the newer firmwares in place now? Ive been hearing people say once you update to the latest version you cant downgrade back.
Thanks Gavin great video! Works great, what about the remote controller. Anny roll back options for the RC? Or has it nothing tot do with the range or connections with the mini 2?
As of this writing after experienced a lot of issues with the new update and reading lots of comments that the culprit is the .8 update, I wanted to downgrade to 1.4.4. Thanks for this tutorial/hack. Been looking for this so badly. 🙏
@@GAVINHR Aircraft Firmware was downgraded to 01.02.0300 but the app version is still 1.4.8 I'm a little confused. Need help. 🙏 Do I need to Refresh my RC after downgrading as well?
Thanks for you explanation, I have an issue with my firmware of the RC-N1 controller. It says fails, and with your explanation I can't downgrade nor refrsh, any idea what to do?
I followed all the steps but when I get to the screen where it shows the current version that's all I get. I don't see the old versions so I don't have the option to downgrade. I imagine that DJI changed something on the assistant 2 app. Any ideas?
Nice find. It will be interesting to see if the downgrade works better for those having issues. I've not had any, so far, myself. Just a fiy, you can run notepad as admin to edit that .ini file, to save having to change the file permissions.
Thanks very much Gavin. I had had 2 complete signal losses in 2 flights with the latest firmware which I have never experienced previously. I will rollback. What about the battery firmware? Can I/ do I need to roll that back too?
Hi Gav, thanks again for this video and answering my previous question. I have another question. I am now on version 1.4.8 (1120- official). This version for me is terrible, I have lost range, now average around 400 metres. I have also experienced the app dropping out and closing. I also had a weird thing where my height and range froze even though I had full control so I landed reset everything and then it was fine. As I have these issues I am worried about flying and want to wind my firmware back. My questions are what is the best most stable version to go back to?? Also on my last update it updated all my batteries to the latest firmware so do I need to rewind the firmware on each battery? Is that possible? Any advice appreciated Gav. Thanks Peter.
Big thanks for this. Really appreciate it. Done it but don't you need to update the remote too for compatibility or it remains the same? I checked in assistant only one firmware for the remote available. V04.11.0016
Do you know whatever firmware version is needed to keep the cc/fcc hack from Beyond active. Because after the update they dissabled the Fcc mode so you still are able to set distance to unlimited. But the output power is not Fcc.....
Awesome Gavin, I have not had any problems yet, will you be doing a flight video with it, to see if it's better, I have a funny feeling DJI will come out with another update for the people who are having problems. Good Job 👍💯👊
I'm sure they will mate soon, of course this isn't just about downgrading firmware it also gave me the ability to update it as I was stuck on N/A so this helped that problem also
@@GAVINHR awesome, I'm saving this video, I do have a question, when I updated the mini 2 to its latest firmware update, will that automatically update that battery firmware update aswell, as the other x2, batteries I did I updated myself, but it won't update the battery I used to update the mini 2, Thanks Bro. I can't find anything on it. 👊👍💯
Hi mark , when I eventually got the update after shutting down the app it then came up with the firmware update for the battery I was using. Now it's all powered down if you load everything up you should get a prompt on that battery
@@GAVINHR cheers Gavin, I got a prompt on x2 of the batteries, but not the 1 I used to update the mini 2, I will keep my eye on it. Thank you very much for your help my Friend. 👊💯👍
Great job Gavinhr, very impressive! I just called DJI support asking why Mini 2 can't do firmware upgrade/downgrade and simulator thru DJI Assistant 2 app before seeing your UA-cam tutorial. They just easily say NO. But now I can get thru firmware part from you, but do you have any idea of activate the simulator part?
Hi Gavin. Thanks for the helpful tutorial. I have the fly more combo and 2 of the 3 batteries won't update to the latest version. The update keeps failing. Do you (or anyone else reading this) know if rolling back the firmware and then re upgrading with each battery in the aircraft will work?? Any assistance appreciated
Hi there, try refreshing the firmware first using this method, after which after you update a battery you need to do a full cycle - power off the drone and controller and close down the app, put the new battery in then start it all again and it should update
@@GAVINHR It won't let me rollback to earlier versions unfortunately. I have read up about this since I asked the question and DJI have put a block on rollbacks since 01.01.0610
Very good Video Gavin I must admit it looks quite complicated, I am not that savey on doing things like that, i might have to stick with the upgrade an till DJI fix the problem. I'd be afraid to muck it up 😢
Well if you follow the instructions as per the video it should all be ok I would hope! But either way I'm sure if there is a problem it will get fixed soon !
My Mavic "mini" not the 2 version had no problems in years now.the video recording is laging and skippy.on the sdcard? it had no issue before using the same sdcard though any fix ? tnx !
Hi Gavin, does this work for the latest firmware V1.04.0000 released March 2022? I did the update but think it may have introduced some bugs with the drone. I believe in your latest video you said that the hack didn't work for 1.04.0000 and couldn't roll it back. I'll have to watch again. Maybe a new firmware will come soon. Also does the Litchi app require the latest firmware in the mini 2 for it to function properly? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks 👍
Hi there, sadly this no longer works for those that have installed 01.04.0000 I am afraid,.litchi should not require the latest firmware so you will be all fine still using that. Sadly I don't see them reverting what they have done here by stopping hacking software so I think we're a bit stuck

Thanks Gavin, I followed your easy to understand instructions today on my new mini 2 to install firmware 01.03.0000 worked perfectly. Hope you having a happy Easter
which version did you use? Did you get the downgrade options?
Thank you very much for going to the trouble of making this video.
It is much appreciated.
the defultsetting file does not show even with hidden files ticked please send cloud link or specify how to get a hold to then edit the file as shown in your awesome vid!
Note: i need this for my mavic air 2 + 2s
Thanks Gavin, really appreciate your research in helping us with our issues. Greetings from South Africa
Thanks for watching and you're most welcome
Great tutorial Gav! I still find it strange how only certain folks have this connection issue. Ce version of the Mini 2 and no problems. Gav you must do a new video now on a comparison of how it performs from the previous firmware update. 👍
Yes indeed I will do so at some point 😊
I've been flying my updated Mini 2 out in the open field and as far as I can tell, there's been no signficant decline on my signal. Still the same. But if some people are experiencing connection problems I hope DJI gets to have it fixed soon
Thanks Craig, yes indeed I'm sure they will fix it soon :)
@@GAVINHR Keep us posted! Thanks
After speaking to dji about range issues they sent me labels to send it in for a look, a few days later they sent me pics of damage to rear arm and top cover with a bill for nearly 200eu. My drone was undamaged when sent, just range probs. Be very careful if you send it in...
That's certainly not good at all! What have they had to say?
@@GAVINHR I told them that it was only sent in because of range issue and that it had no damage, they sent pics back of dated droneand if I wanted it repairing it was going to cost me. I sent pics of it flying the day I posted to them (undamaged) and they said they would do tests to check if it had been crashed (negative result) Still had to pay or have it back broken.. I will never buy from them Again!! I have the messages that were sent both ways but it boils my blood to read them again. Long reply, sorry 😞 end result= I paid, drone due back tomorrow.. still fuming 😡
Great video... what a life saver. I use Linux so I tried the Assistant app using wine🍷 but I couldn't connect to the drone. I ended up using a Virtual Box with Win 10. Enabling usb on vbox can be tricky too. But it worked!
Nice one mate, if I experience any of the associated issues I will certainly follow these steps to roll back.....
Indeed! Or the other way - I couldn't actually upgrade after getting the firmware showing N/A and I was able to upgrade using this method
It worked June 12 2023. thank you so much Gavin
NICE ONE TO LEARN. I HAVE DOWNWARD VISUAL ERROR ON UPGRADE TO 01.03.00
Now you can go back to the old one :)
As a newby flier, 70 plus, I've always updated as per the dji fly app instructions. So far so good. Haven't yet had any issues but haven't yet flown it a great distance, too scared to lose it at the moment. Great videos like this aid the likes of me in understanding this great little drone. Would appreciate a video how to have the flight details recorded on the video so I can learn better from my flights. I'm on Android and a PC. Thanks again Gavin, glad I subscribed.
Hi Paul thank you for watching. What I would suggest is you sign up for a site / app called Airdata UAV - you can set it to sync with the DJI fly app and you will find it utterly fascinating all the data it collects! Give it s go and let me know what you think!
Hi. Are you still have old DJI Assistant 2 for Consumer Drones Series ?
So many thanks! You really saved me because my dji mini 2 could not connect to the RC due to (i guess) an update issue. You saved me man!
You are welcome!
Hello, this can be used for DJI mini 3?
Thanks Gavin but how do I downgrade the app or controller version?
Thanks for video it's great. I have 1 question.. my drone turned of in a middle od updating (52%).. but on phone screen was updating to 100% I turn on the drone and it looks like all is fine😮 how is this possible? Should I make a hack and go back to oldre version or shall I live it? What do you think? I didn't fly after this much.. I just try to start and I made small circle around garden... I'm a little bit afraid about longer trip.. what should I do?
If it’s working it’s working would be the way I see it, there would be no mark plugging it into DJI assistant 2 and just refreshing the firmware just to put yohr mind at rest
Very nice man!!! Can we do that to mini 3 pro? (downgrade filmware version)do u have any video guide?
Hi do you think DJI will fix last up date issues on fly app mini 2 with new firmware up dates
Gav - hello and than you for your detailed explanations.... Just purchased a Mini 2 and have problems connecting it and linking the drone to RC.
Can you please elaborate on that please?
What error are you getting ? This is the most basic issue but are you plugging the right cable into your phone? That's a mistake lots make
Gavin, Thank you for the quick response.
I am connected with the cable - it just will not link.... I'll try again and send a screen shot. It says aircraft not connected to RC, when I try to re-pair - it goes through the process and than an error saying re-pairiing unsuccessful... The Blue light flashes and goes steady - but no pairing.
Additionally I also fail Flight Mode switching process.
I removed the DJI Fly app and re-installed couple of times.- I have an OnePlus 6t mobile/
As a result of the above - I did not reach the stage where I can look through the drone's parameters to see software / firmware revisions and all the other parameters.
Kind of frustrating.....
Thanks again for this video. I noticed my drone seemed to be playing up , with more glitches since the latest update, so have just rolled back to previous version. I just got to 100% transmitted when my laptop crashed for some unknown, so lucky it all worked when restarted my drone. A few second earlier, it may have been a different story, so next time i do something like this , i will use my desktop which hopefully wont crash on me .
It just shows my current firmware and to refresh it without any older versions available what do I do
My Mini 2 was showing my firmware as N/A. I contacted DJI support and they explained where I had to change the "0" to a "1" actually in the spot you indicated in your video. However there were two "0"s that I changed to "1"s as per DJI. If it was not for your video I would have been stuck. Problem sorted GREAT VIDEO!! I was so frustrated prior to watching your video I nearly sent my Mini 2 back to DJI for them to deal with it.
I have an additional question prior to my firmware going to N/A within the DJI Fly app I could start my motors in low light conditions, now I cant. That is unless I provide a light source using a flashlight in dark conditions and shine it at the drone. I take it one of the sensors is picking up that light. I recall clicking on something in the app to permit the motors to start in low light months ago. Is there a way to reset it to enable the motors to start in low light conditions?
Great info. I am one of the ones who suspect there might be a range issue after the latest update. ( can't get by 250m range at 100m without loss of signal and RTH on the exact flight route as I have used loads of times without any issues on previous firmware ) Will give it another week and if things still look iffy with the latest firmware I will downgrade using you rinstructions
Absolutely! Just see how it goes. Thank you for watching
same issue here ce model NZ 600metre rural area range is gone...im going to try rolling back
@@aussiebob1315 just watch you don't try and roll back using this hack method. It will invalidate any Dji warranty
No it won't... Why do you say that?
Can you explain why you think that?
Works on a Mac just have to dig around to find the file. Not had any problems with disconnection yet but happy to know I can downgrade if necessary. Thank you for the info
You're most welcome ! Thank you for watching
I think we need the Gavin and Darren show 😂😂😂
Haha I'm not mentioning any names 🤣 not getting drawn into that again ! Haha but hey, if channels want to dismiss their own viewers findings then that's an interesting tactic 🤣 I won't be adopting it I'll continue to help people 🙂
Thank you very much for this explanation. I searched and couldn't find anyone to help me solve this problem. Thank you again 🇸🇦Saudi
Okey bro this ain't working anymore like you showed us.....!
I'm getting the firmware update tab but i can only see the current firmware....not the once before.....!
Any idea how to resolve this issue....?!
Thanks Gav. great vid and worked a treat. hopefully sort out all of my lag
Let's hope so! Let me know how you get on
Hello, great video. Do you know if this mod still needs to be done as of 11-30-22? Thanks! Oh and, amazing accent! Forgive my naivety, but where are you from?
Great job my friend! You helped me with this issue. Greetings from Serbia! Cheers!
will this update the dji mini 2 battery as well
Hiya, thank for this in, Just wondered I only get list of current firmware and not option to downgrade? any ideas?
Really useful info. Much appreciated. Haven't flown much at all with latest firmware, and when I did, it wasn't more than some 300' distance from home spot, plus it was out in countryside away from any possible transmission reception interference.
Brilliant Video, i needed to downgrade for my drone hacks boost on my RC , searched how i could do this and found your video.. thanks
Which firmware is the best and most stable firmware for my mini 2? I rolled back my fly app to 1.4.4. Which firmware would go hand in hand with the 1.4.4 flyapp ver.
Thanks Gavin, I rolled it back to the previous version so will give it a fly tomorrow, hopefully no problems. Thanks.
Hi David! I hope you're well, been wondering how you was since you have not commented recently. Let me know how you get on
@@GAVINHR Hi Gavin, haven't been on PC much but been watching videos on smart TV, sadly can't comment or "Like", made up for it now.
I did a test flight this morning and all seems well except when the gimbal is pointing down there was a few times when it "kicked" and it was quite noticeable. Hopefully DJI will get another update sorted to fix the previous one. Then we will need another to fix that one, and so on and so on..............................
Just a quick question, do you format the card in your PC or the drone?
Hi. Any. Ews on the latest software on mini 2. Is it downgradeble?
Hey! can you help? I wanted to change the flight parameters on dji mini se through the dji assistant 2 v1.1.2 service menu, but the program does not see the drone. Or maybe you know how to call Dev Tools on assistant 2 consumer drones series dji?
hello my friend i'm brazilian i'm watching your very explanatory video congratulations, but my DJI mini 2 doesn't appear downgrade in the list can you give me any tips?
Good info and we'll done on finding/working out the workaround.👍
The only fly in the ointment (there's always one) is, this doesn't downgrade the firmware in the remote.
So, if they have altered anything ocusync wise within the RC you can't roll that back. 😢
What about the batteries ? They were updated too, with the last firmware.
@@sptrader6316 They will not be a problem since it only altered the self discharge algorithm.
You can actually downgrade firmware on the controller also using this software it was only the mini 2 firmware they didn't allow for some strange reason
@@GAVINHR I know you can normally, just wasn't sure your 'hacked' method would allow it
Do you plug the RC via USB into the PC to downgrade or will it downgrade from the package in the aircraft?
I've not done it yet myself but I believe it's the usb in to the pc then the assistant 2 detects the device
Hi I have Mavic Mini and I want to to roll back to older firmware. Can you help me?
My camera avd gimble were destroyed I just deleted them in hopes of running my GoPro on top and now it won't even take off lol anyway around this will it work if I firmware downgrade or whatever it's called ?
love the video but I need more help. I have been following what to do step by step but when it ask me to conect the drone nothing happens on the computer just continue to say conect drone. now when I plugged the drone into computer, the computer beeps but the screen continue to say conect drone. is there a software I need so my computer can recognize the drone. need help going on vacation to Greece on the 16th and my quick shot not working from last update 1.6.4 I need 1.5.10 back
Hi, Great video! Followed your procedures and all worked but can only see current version 1.04.0000 no previous versions showing. Any ideas?
Hey Gavin, sup?
Look do I need also to downgrade the remote controller firmware too, or just the drone's fw ?
Does this procedure work with the mini SE too ?
Ty for sharing the knowledge.
Hi Marc, no only the drone fw needs rolling back nothing else 🙂 the issue was primarily with the mini 2 so I've not tried the SE but you shouldn't really have a need to do so on that drone. Hope that helps
Thank you for this very informative video Gavin. Just a random question hoping for some advice. Im using my mini 2 for over a month now with my Redmi Note 5. Then just updated to 1.4.4 and flew a couple of times with no issues. But suddenly after a week my cellphone wont connect to RC. The charging is working but fluctuating. Tried to other moblie device (but not compatible) just to see if it charges and it does and it was stable. Do you think it rules out the cable being defective? Any thoughts on this?
If it's intermittent and stopping and starting I think the easiest option would be to try the cable yes to be honest. If it wasn't working at all then I would suggest a device issue
Does this work on the DJI mini 2se
will this process work on a roll back from 1.4 firmware?
Does this work on imac yet?
Very informative video, thank you! Per your instructions, I modified the Assistant 2 and stopped at the point of actually doing the downgrade. If DJI doesn't give us a firmware update to restore lost signal strength in a week or so, I'll do the downgrade. Thanks again!
You're most welcome I'm glad it helped! Thank you for watching
STILL a moth later and no firmware update, hope you downgrade yours.
@@rjsvids Yes Ricardo, I did the rollback to 01.02.0300 and my signal strength is back to being strong again!
Hey Gav, would this process still work with the newer firmwares in place now? Ive been hearing people say once you update to the latest version you cant downgrade back.
Greatings mate. I have not yet updated my firmware. Can i update the firmware of the battery only without updating the aircraft?
Sadly I do not believe so, the aircraft firmware then prompts the battery one
Thanks mate. I will just wait for the next update if you will approve it.
That's if DJI think there is an issue themselves! We wait and see
Waiting for your range test mate on your downgraded mini 2 if the signal issues resolved.
Thanks Gavin great video! Works great, what about the remote controller. Anny roll back options for the RC? Or has it nothing tot do with the range or connections with the mini 2?
Nope, this update didn't change anything for the controller so no need to touch that 😀 thanks for watching
Thanks Gavin, I've successfully rolled back my firmware 👍
You're welcome ! Let me know how you get on !
@@GAVINHR will do
As of this writing after experienced a lot of issues with the new update and reading lots of comments that the culprit is the .8 update, I wanted to downgrade to 1.4.4.
Thanks for this tutorial/hack. Been looking for this so badly. 🙏
The app version is an issue with crashing / black screen but the signal issues are 100% related to the firmware. Thank you for watching
@@GAVINHR Just downgraded successfully following your instruction but why is it that the version appears on my DJI App screen is 1.4.8 :)
@@GAVINHR Aircraft Firmware was downgraded to 01.02.0300 but the app version is still 1.4.8
I'm a little confused. Need help. 🙏
Do I need to Refresh my RC after downgrading as well?
Thanks for you explanation, I have an issue with my firmware of the RC-N1 controller. It says fails, and with your explanation I can't downgrade nor refrsh, any idea what to do?
is there any way to use this method for mavic air 2? or any method i need to downgrade so bad
Hi i know this is an old vid but is there any way to roll back the latest firmware on the mini 3?? Ive lost my fcc mod! Cheers
Thanks ! a refresh did the trick !
I followed all the steps but when I get to the screen where it shows the current version that's all I get. I don't see the old versions so I don't have the option to downgrade. I imagine that DJI changed something on the assistant 2 app. Any ideas?
the mine only show the latest firmware... so there is nothing to choose them... what can i do now? there is another way?
Nice find. It will be interesting to see if the downgrade works better for those having issues. I've not had any, so far, myself. Just a fiy, you can run notepad as admin to edit that .ini file, to save having to change the file permissions.
Yeah true, but I wanted to just show the way in the order with which it will happen. I'm glad you're having no issues though !
Thanks very much Gavin. I had had 2 complete signal losses in 2 flights with the latest firmware which I have never experienced previously. I will rollback. What about the battery firmware? Can I/ do I need to roll that back too?
No the battery firmware is just fine!
Awesome. Thanks Gavin!
Boa tarde amigo em voce me ajudou muito tava com um erro 30064 e resolvi com seu vídeo pois dava erro toda vez que tentavo obrigada pela força
Hi Gav, thanks again for this video and answering my previous question. I have another question. I am now on version 1.4.8 (1120- official). This version for me is terrible, I have lost range, now average around 400 metres. I have also experienced the app dropping out and closing. I also had a weird thing where my height and range froze even though I had full control so I landed reset everything and then it was fine. As I have these issues I am worried about flying and want to wind my firmware back. My questions are what is the best most stable version to go back to?? Also on my last update it updated all my batteries to the latest firmware so do I need to rewind the firmware on each battery? Is that possible? Any advice appreciated Gav. Thanks Peter.
Big thanks for this. Really appreciate it.
Done it but don't you need to update the remote too for compatibility or it remains the same? I checked in assistant only one firmware for the remote available.
V04.11.0016
Yes indeed as far as I was aware personally there was no update to the controller. So it should just be a drone update
@@GAVINHR thank you again Gavin great work
Hi gavin I got it downloaded but when I go to connect the drone its not opening mini 2 software on the assistant app
Did you download the right version? You specifically need the version for consumer drones and need to edit that file in my video for or to work
Do you know whatever firmware version is needed to keep the cc/fcc hack from Beyond active.
Because after the update they dissabled the Fcc mode so you still are able to set distance to unlimited.
But the output power is not Fcc.....
Awesome Gavin, I have not had any problems yet, will you be doing a flight video with it, to see if it's better, I have a funny feeling DJI will come out with another update for the people who are having problems. Good Job 👍💯👊
I'm sure they will mate soon, of course this isn't just about downgrading firmware it also gave me the ability to update it as I was stuck on N/A so this helped that problem also
@@GAVINHR awesome, I'm saving this video, I do have a question, when I updated the mini 2 to its latest firmware update, will that automatically update that battery firmware update aswell, as the other x2, batteries I did I updated myself, but it won't update the battery I used to update the mini 2, Thanks Bro. I can't find anything on it. 👊👍💯
Hi mark , when I eventually got the update after shutting down the app it then came up with the firmware update for the battery I was using. Now it's all powered down if you load everything up you should get a prompt on that battery
@@GAVINHR cheers Gavin, I got a prompt on x2 of the batteries, but not the 1 I used to update the mini 2, I will keep my eye on it. Thank you very much for your help my Friend. 👊💯👍
You're welcome mate!
Great job Gavinhr, very impressive!
I just called DJI support asking why Mini 2 can't do firmware upgrade/downgrade and simulator thru DJI Assistant 2 app before seeing your UA-cam tutorial. They just easily say NO. But now I can get thru firmware part from you, but do you have any idea of activate the simulator part?
Hi Gavin. Thanks for the helpful tutorial.
I have the fly more combo and 2 of the 3 batteries won't update to the latest version. The update keeps failing. Do you (or anyone else reading this) know if rolling back the firmware and then re upgrading with each battery in the aircraft will work?? Any assistance appreciated
Hi there, try refreshing the firmware first using this method, after which after you update a battery you need to do a full cycle - power off the drone and controller and close down the app, put the new battery in then start it all again and it should update
@@GAVINHR thanks so much Gavin. My batteries now are now updated as I'm no longer getting the warnings. Your help is much appreciated.
No worries at all. Happy to help
Does the same procedure work for the Mavic Air2 ?
The Mavic air 2 is supported by the DJI assistant so you don't need to do any of the modification just open it up and it will work
@@GAVINHR It won't let me rollback to earlier versions unfortunately. I have read up about this since I asked the question and DJI have put a block on rollbacks since 01.01.0610
Has this trick been disabled if you've updated to v1.06.2? I only see this firmware in dji assistant, no other firmwares are available to me?
Very good Video Gavin
I must admit it looks quite complicated, I am not that savey on doing things like that, i might have to stick with the upgrade an till DJI fix the problem.
I'd be afraid to muck it up 😢
Well if you follow the instructions as per the video it should all be ok I would hope! But either way I'm sure if there is a problem it will get fixed soon !
@@GAVINHR
I watch your Video a few times and see if it sinks in for me to have a go 🤔
Thankyou for doing the Video mate anyway
You're most welcome ! Thank you for watching and your continued support
My Mavic "mini" not the 2 version had no problems in years now.the video recording is laging and skippy.on the sdcard? it had no issue before using the same sdcard though any fix ? tnx !
Hi Gavin, does this work for the latest firmware V1.04.0000 released March 2022? I did the update but think it may have introduced some bugs with the drone.
I believe in your latest video you said that the hack didn't work for 1.04.0000 and couldn't roll it back. I'll have to watch again.
Maybe a new firmware will come soon.
Also does the Litchi app require the latest firmware in the mini 2 for it to function properly?
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks 👍
Hi there, sadly this no longer works for those that have installed 01.04.0000 I am afraid,.litchi should not require the latest firmware so you will be all fine still using that. Sadly I don't see them reverting what they have done here by stopping hacking software so I think we're a bit stuck
@@GAVINHR thanks for answering my questions, much appreciated 👍
