Please tell me you're not doing this on a Mac. If so, that may be the problem.
I'm well aware.
You said you "uploaded" the DEBUG file. You didn't mention making it or dragging it over to the MicroSD card. I'm not clairvoyant.
Yep. Don't do that. Follow the instructions in my tutorials.
For the love of all that is holy, after all of this, what ultimately worked was simply following my tutorial TO THE LETTER in my videos.
The file is the same as the one on you tube. It only goes to V4 with no more tabs? Ive used Donnies trick key, Charles was a bit of a faff and need another fix to allow the xml edit. It worked but it downloaded DJI Go V3.0.1 with keyid 819296121. Ive purchased another ipad 2 which has ios V12.5.6, still looking to downgrade it to 12.3.1. On this version I don't get the file transfer option to drop the 32 channel hack into Go. The itunes version im now using is 12.2.2.25
I wish I could help there. My "downgrade" was to buy old iPads on eBay and then lock down the iOS (a hack in and of itself). If you figure out how to roll back the iOS, please let me know. Even a clean "refresh" (or whatever Apple calls it) doesn't take the iPad back to it's original iOS. Instead, it downloads the latest iOS that will run on that hardware and installs it (if memory serves).
Thanks Donnie. I suppose the only reason to downgrade the iOS is so I can, using iTunes , copy the 32 channel config file across. Is that correct. No other reason or am I missing something, which is an easy issue at my age !
It's not the only reason, but it's in the top 5. I'm also able to drag and drop KML files into any of my mapping apps (LOATHE "importing" through a third-party server. More power to the people!). I'm also able to save multiple missions as a single .plist file, which can be dragged OUT of the iPad to my Windows box.
I don't know how you intend to use your drone. But once you get all of this going, you will see the clear benefit to not only the ability to SEE files on your iPad, but move and copy and past and drag and drop files back and fourth. Apple decided a couple years ago that Apple users were too dumb to be allowed control over their own devices. If I sound jaded, I am. But I digress...
No. I'm no Apple fan boy, obviously. But I started off working in film. And for all their flaws, the iPads are 100% reliable. The same could not be said for Android offerings, especially when I first got into this as a profession in late 2015. DJI software did not play well with Android tablets. Conversely, the iPads were rock solid. I needed that reliability on a film set. There's no room for screwups in that environment.
Reliability. Do a forum search. You'll find mounds of errors, bugs, crashes, etc....all Android. Every last one.
Yep. I hack mine. Just today I figured out a hack for getting a KML loaded into Google Earth on my iPad withOUT having to login to any servers or "import" from god-knows-where. I drag and drop a .kml into my iPad and then open the .kml with Google Earth. Now I can easily find all my shoot locations. Still working on map caching. Lots of LYING tutorials on the subject. "Just click here and drag this and move that...." F***ing liars. I'll figure it out.
I think I covered all this. It's all about the reliability. 4 iPads. Countless hours. I can count app crashes on one hand. Even then, it's consistently ONE app that *occasionally* crashes. Being I started in film, I absolutely had to have that reliability. Now that I'm mostly mapping, doing construction progress and traffic analysis, my jobs are still mission critical. Of all the crap I have to worry about in the field, the iPad is not one of them. Once I conquer them at home, they are mine. Best of both worlds.

That's interesting. I know the 32 channel hack is a huge help (at least here in the U.S. where I encounter total WiFi (microwave) saturation in many locations). But I never thought of it as a "cure" for the firmware shortcomings.Update for the group. PC running Win 10 Pro, downloaded Itunes V12.3.0.44 and installed DJI Go 3.0.1 ios app on ios firmware 12.5.6 Ipad Mini 2
The ios Go app was dowloaded using the Charles app method on You Tube and the Appextvrsid code 819954562
This pairing will allow the 32 channel files to be copied and seems stable even with AC1.11.01.50 and RC 1.7.8
Itunes version available here: iTunes Releases / IPSW Downloads

Donnie . Yes in the uk so as you know we have the CE low power mode , I understand you can’t have the 32 channel and FCC at the same time ? I’m waiting on acquiring an X3 camera before I downgrade one of my I1’s and then do a side by side comparison with the current DJI configuration on another I1. In the UK the X3 second hand is like rocking horse shi@ to find . Jim
Hmmmm....I don't think one has anything to do with the other. I believe all US drones come with FCC mode. I have to dive back into this, as it's been YEARS since I looked at the different transmissions modes.
That would be a most excellent test. That is exactly what I did in my video and my conclusions were very conclusive. Without a doubt, the firmware roll back increased signal strength to both the master and slave controllers. Your research is appreciated. Make sure you document everything diligently. There are so many variables that it will be difficult to keep them all in your head.
Argh. Bummer. Good luck.
