DJI MINI 2 - HOW TO ROLL BACK & UPGRADE FIRMWARE | DJI ASSISTANT HACK TUTORIAL

[@sashagayallen140]

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 KZbin

[@GAVINHR]

You're most welcome! Glad you're flying again !

[@22bikis]

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.

[@GAVINHR]

Hi Colin, did you make sure you downloaded the correct version? It is DJI assistant 2 for consumer drones otherwise it won't work

[@22bikis]

I downloaded Version V1.2.4

[@22bikis]

I downloaded Version V1.2.4. Isn't this the right version?

[@billw9904]

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

[@Michael64633]

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.

[@Ridema100]

Bedankt

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Great hack :-) I did not know this, will be helpful when messing around with firmware versions :-)

[@GAVINHR]

Thanks Henrik! Hopefully help some people out !

[@clearcrossroads5267]

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!

[@juanfran78-24]

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 👋

[@GAVINHR]

Thank you very much my friend !

[@Rudeabaga]

I didn't get any older versions of the FW in the drop down list. Do you know of a way to repopulate the list to show older versions ?

[@brunomattos9462]

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?

[@ursrupp5869]

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 👌

[@mustachio118]

Another helpful video from the Mini 2 doctor! 😁

[@GAVINHR]

Thank you!

Those worked great. I'm on a Mac and the comments were lifesavers. I'm hoping that this will let me get rid of the pesky gimbal 44100 error.

[@GAVINHR]

Let's hope so! And yes 100% grateful to the guys who advised how to do it on a Mac since I don't have one ☺️

[@dee_em_bee]

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.

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!!!

[@billykavanagh4451]

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.

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]

That's certainly not good at all! What have they had to say?

[@Paul-zc4gu]

@@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 😡

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.

[@pril250]

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

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.

[@GAVINHR]

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.

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. 👍

[@GAVINHR]

Yes indeed I will do so at some point 😊

[@single-shot-video]

Hi Gavin, I found the same in distance and video feed. My distance dropped by half with the new F/W version. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that DJI had reduced its RF Power capability. I took your lead and figured how to do the mod for DJI Assistant 2 on Mac IOS. All good now. Right Click DJI Assist 2 to 'Show Package Contents' Contents\MocOS\defaultsettings.ini = change 'upgrade_enable=0' to '1'. Enjoy.

[@single-shot-video]

Since rolling back F/W, I have tested distance & video feed qual. All back to normal with no Sig Loss at 1km. Cheers, Adam.

It just shows my current firmware and to refresh it without any older versions available what do I do

[@yuvalmei-dan9950]

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?

[@GAVINHR]

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

[@yuvalmei-dan9950]

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.....

[@2508gdw]

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.

Back to the drawing board for me, but thanks again for this very useful info.

[@josephbobowicz458]

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?

Nope, this update didn't change anything for the controller so no need to touch that 😀 thanks for watching

[@247SH]

Great stuff, thanks! The rollback is only for the drone so just wondering about potential compatibility issues with the transmitter and Fly app? I guess it won’t be possible to rollback to being able to switch charging on phones/tablets on/off to rule out interference from always on charging. Also great to rollback firmware while the files remain on DJI’s server :)

[@GAVINHR]

From my knowledge there was no firmware update to the controller so no problems expected and can be left on the current version. Also the DJI fly app came after the firmware update so again should be no issues with 1.4.4. :) if you could find an older APK for that app version you could of course bring it back

[@247SH]

Good points ;) I wonder if anyone has measured the effective radiated power from the antennas before and after the recent upgrade. This would show if power has actually been reduced. If it hasn’t interference from the phone charging circuit could be the issue. I expect there will be zero db gain from the antennas so should be around DJI’s specified output power, whatever that is.

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

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 .

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. 😢

[@sptrader6316]

What about the batteries ? They were updated too, with the last firmware.

[@drybiscuit]

@@sptrader6316 They will not be a problem since it only altered the self discharge algorithm.

[@GAVINHR]

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

[@drybiscuit]

@@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?

[@GAVINHR]

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

Hola a todos Por casualidad tendrás esa versión del software asistente de consumo 2.1.3

Thanks a lot for thew great Tutorial Gavin! I had continuous random disconnections with my Mini 2 (also at 5-10 meters distance), so I've decided to downgrade to previous firmware and I hope this will solve my frustrating problem). I've just finished the procedure with DJI assistant using my mac (I've modified "defaultsettings" file in the Mac app folder, same procedure as Windows). I have just one question: considering that with the latest firmware (01.03.0000) also batteries received an update, what happens with them with a downgrade to firmware version 01.02.0300)? I have Fly more combo version, so 3 batteries with latest firmware with intelligent discharge. Should I have to flash older firmware 3 times (every time with a different battery, or should I forget about this aspect? I've also connected and checked remote controller for a possible downgrade to previous version, but DJI Assistant showed only the latest firmware version (04.11.0016) and no possible to do any downgrade. Any further comment? Should I fly safely now or I risk anything considering the above mentioned procedures performed? Once again thanks for the wonderful job and for your suggestions!!!

[@GAVINHR]

Nothing happens Andrea! The batteries stay the same and they still auto discharge. Controller firmware is totally fine, maybe if you are on Android use 1.4.8 ( 1185 )

[@aclock81]

@@GAVINHR thanks for the swift reply! I'm on IOS app 1.4.8(477). I'll do a fly test tomorrow (I hope weather will be sunny and without wind) and will see if these disconnections will be finally solved. Fingers crossed as at the moment I'm using my Mini 2 as a paperweight as I'm scared to fly unsafely losing commands randomly (especially in urban scenarios). I'll let you know soon the outcome.

[@GAVINHR]

Thank you I certainly hope so

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

[@Fluefiskeavs]

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?

[@stanvisualseychelles932]

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

[@GAVINHR]

Yes indeed as far as I was aware personally there was no update to the controller. So it should just be a drone update

[@stanvisualseychelles932]

@@GAVINHR thank you again Gavin great work

[@Axyl2k]

Dude. DUDE. This totally fixed my problem. THANK YOU SO DAMN MUCH!

[@GAVINHR]

You're welcome!

[@richardbrown9344]

Great video Gavin...I updated fly app version and firmware recently on my mini 2 and since doing that quick transfer no longer works and there is no exposure lock in video mode, but there is in photo mode, when I tap the screen...Iam using a Samsung A52 phone...Everything worked perfectly before I updated...I have been in touch with DJI and they said I could send it back to them for investigation....Could you offer any advice on these issues...would going back to previous firmware as you explained possibly fix this...or is it likely to be the fly app version...where the problem lies?....Is it possible to go back to an older fly app version as well as firmware update?...Thankyou

[@bownsaway]

Thanks, Gavin very helpful

[@GAVINHR]

You're most welcome

[@stefanaddwork]

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.....

[@TazkoHoZabit]

Worked like a charm also with the newest app. I added the |wm161 word into the [support], so the list looks like "list=hg330|hg330_ds|hg330_vtx|asvl01_vtx|wm161" ... and I also added the missing line [wm161] with the line upgrade_enable=1 ... and now everything works perfect for DJI Mini 2. But I am still unable firmware version in DJI RC-N1 controller. Nothing works.

[@elemag1]

Hi I have Mavic Mini and I want to to roll back to older firmware. Can you help me?

[@RohitDhavade]

acha bataya bande ne, thanks

[@paultamaschke9318]

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?

[@GAVINHR]

No the battery firmware is just fine!

[@paultamaschke9318]

Awesome. Thanks Gavin!

[@TattedTommysTv]

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 ?

[@grahambutler5847]

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.

[@1djhilo]

will this update the dji mini 2 battery as well
