firmware bricked mavic

[penpen]

hadn't flown my MP for a couple weeks so went to fly it after charging everything and app prompted a update, updated RC just fine but then failed on the MP. Plugged into assistant and attempted update but failed multiple times, after 3rd update attempt the MP wouldn't connect to computer or RC and doest send a WIFI signal to connect. bricked

verified my MP is a early build with a built in SD card by taking top cover off, wondering what the process is to reload a working firmware to the SD card after removing it from the MP


MP is out of warranty

So right now it will not recognize the drone in assistant when its plugged in?

Yeah assistant2 doesn't see it at all, first couple times saw it fine but now it just blinks yellow and in RC or wifi mode nothing happens

Have you tried a different cable?

 

[penpen]

yeah, 3 different micro usb cables, all connect with the RC fine. MC doesn't emit wifi signal anymore too

Unfortunately it sounds like it’s time for a repair and factory flash.

Reinstall Assistant 2. If it’s blinking yellow that’s usually a good sign. The firmware doesn’t get loaded from the internal SD card like that. Sorry

tried assistant2 on mac laptop and PC desktop, both see RC just not MC anymore. the last firmware upload was at around 32% when it failed on the MC

Try using dumbldor to reflash fw

I've not used Assistant 2 to flash firmware since April 2017. Recently used dumldore. Much more reliable and doesn't throw a virus warning as Assistant does sometimes.

I will tell you form experience
DJI Asst 2 will find you bird
1 ....make sure your batteries fully charged
2......plugin your bird make sure the switch above you Micros is turned to "pc" not "wifi"
3.... Turn on Mavic
4.......Leave it alone.!
It took mine about 40 minutes before DJI Asst would recognize my Mavic
......it will just have to wait
