Unbricking an Inspire 1...

Donnie Frank · Feb 1, 2018

Doods;

After fielding dozens of questions regarding firmware rollbacks and subsequent bricking of some Inspires, I decided to brick my Inspire and bring it back to life. I have made a video.

Here's the original "Rolling back Inspire 1 firmware" video:

Lemme know if you have any questions.

Well done Donnie, This was the procedure I used to roll back the firmware on my Inspire 1.
Your instructions should be really easy for forum users to follow..
Good Job!

Just wanted to say thank you for this. I know this if from some time back, but just know even all this time later, you're a HERO! You saved me from owning a very expensive statue!

So I am having trouble, 1: I cant find the firmware you used. 2: I have updated to a really earlier FW but that didn't take either. Yes I have that debug black word document in there and the entire inspire 1 goes through the whole procedure as you stated in your video. I got this drone on a trade and the person who I got it from I think was trying to update the FW and did it wrong which bricked it. On the data log under 08 and 15 it shows as not connected.

I dont know what else to do please help...

Did you change the name of the blank file to follow the pattern of the name based on the file that you do have?
