Firmware 1.6 problems

Bootneck539 · Jan 16, 2016

Hi,
Is anyone else having problems installing the v1.6 firmware? All was good with my Inspire 1 until I attempted this upgrade. Now all I get is a message stating that both the aircraft and batteries require upgrades?

Any suggestions welcome

Works fine on my machine. Are you sure it has been upgraded successfully?

Your device shows that it is 1.6?

And which app version are you running?

DaBone · Jan 16, 2016

Have upgraded all to the latest firmware and app, no errors.. but get message that the aircraft needs update.

Did you try uninstalling the app and then re-installing it?

DaBone · Jan 16, 2016

No, have not tried that yet. But can test it tomorrow..

All upgrades need to be successfully installed. My x5 after sitting for the holiday season in its case needed everything firmware wise updated. The bird took 2 tries. Reinstalled 1.3 which after success, shutdown and restarted with each battery to update them. Installed 1.5.7 on my remote and DJI Go app from 2.4 to 2.5. After all that, all systems go...

I am running 2.5.1 on the app, which is the latest version (i believe). I'm trying to get v.1.6.0.40 onto the inspire, but it just will not start the upload process.

I have all of the text files to show the previous upgrades have been successful, it's just this latest version of the firmware v.1.6.0.40, that will not load. The file has definitely been loaded into the root directory of the sd card and is in the correct format, as all previous ones have been, it just will not start the process?

Did you try the original sd card that came with the bird? Try downgrading to a previous firmware and upgrading again. I had to do this for 1.3 on my x5. Make sure you are using the right firmware. You must have the x3? The latest firmware for the x5 is 1.3. Make sure you are using the "PRO" support site and that firmware if you have the I1 x5.

Remember if that bird sees a firmware that's the same it will not upgrade. Check results after your process for success. There is a hidden log file on the card after the upgrade that has detailed info on the process.

Post the hidden log file located in the MISC\LOG folder.

You will need to enable hidden files on your computer first.

I'll give it a try and let you know if it's a success. Thanks.

Thanks I always save the the files to ensure compliance if my operations manual / safety system is audited by clients.
