Firmware update changed no fly zones?

[joe_gomez]

Hey all, I updated my firmware before a short backyard flight and when I booted up, the mavic wouldn't let me take off because I was in a no fly zone. Never got the strong "cannot take off" lock before, I did get the class E zone warnings, but not this. has anyone else run into this?

What does your address show on the DJI website? Did your town become a no-fly-zone?

I've also got the same problem. I'm flying at an approved RC aircraft and drone flying range but it is within 5 miles of Offutt AFB in Nebraska. I was able to fly but it continuously kept giving me the warning screen making my view of the flight almost impossible. At least Litchi was able to fly without the warnings. But I really need to know how to disable it or change the settings to allow flying in this area.

I think that the No fly zones should be enforced by geofencing altitude and distance if you are in a no fly zone.
I dont see how flying your drone in door or on your own backyard causing any issues to anyone.

According to dji, the only updates were NFZ data and a fix for wonky gimbals.

I'm downgrading mine right now back to .400. So I'll give it a try as soon as possible to see if that works any better.

I will do the same promptly this evening when I'll come back home.

I saw this post from Drone Master and it works :
With Go 4 all you have to do is have everything turned on and tap and hold the option button in the upper right screen for 3 seconds and it will bring up the downgrade screen. Select the last version to downgrade.

is this an easter egg from the DjiGo4 ? never seen this info elsewhere, it is brillant !

My fear is that when the next FW update comes out, the .400 will be removed from the list of available firmware. Does anyone know if it's possible to "flash" a FW image manually? If so, we can archive all version and pick and choose when needed - effectively jail-breaking our Mavics.

Or just not update.

I'll see if I can borrow Bill and Ted's phone booth.

I fear there is a "Time to Expire" on all DJI firmware versions. At some point, the thing won't lift off until you upgrade.

Yeah I have that same fear but look on the bright side!

We may have 67 years until expiration.

I can't fly indoors because of a no fly zone. Sometimes the GPS signal is weak and I can fire up the motors, but once reception comes back the motors will stop. Bummer. I knew this going in though.
