My mini 5 Pro had a firmware update today. It didn't seem to be that large as it only took a few minutes. No indication as to what the firmware was for. Perhaps it was updating the DJI Fly App in the controller for a different drone. Not sure.

Maybe they finally changed their minds, and decided to not to broadcast RID with the standard battery, and will restore the deleted statement regarding same to the English version of the User Manual! Not! LOL!

That's interesting. Firmware is the same as above. It definitely did a firmware update. I have been flying it all week and I have been checking for new firmware every couple of days so it seems strange I would get one but it wouldn't register with a different number.
Same thing happened to me the other day. It said aircraft firmware was updating, but the version stayed the same.
Have you got Model Auto-Update enabled. That will install model updates automatically that are updates but not full firmware updates. There wouldn’t be a firmware increment for that.
I’m never a first day updater.

They didn't announce the turning on of RID either, after the original owner's manual explicitly stated it would be off. They also denied they had turned it on! Never trust DJI regarding their updates. They insert Trojan Horses with anti-rollback, and when caught, just say, "So sorry."
With DJI fly running. Profile, Settings. Partway down the first page (Firmware Updates).
They started doing this kind of thing way back with the Mavic Pro firmware.

We definitely need a positive control here so please report back when you test the plus battery.

Is the Drone Scanner app reliable? Is there a better one to try?
It's the only one I've used and I haven't had any problems with it. I suggested a positive control in your situation because your results are the opposite to what others have experienced.

Yeah, I thought that was odd, too. I was using a Mini 4 Pro standard battery when I checked it. I was actually looking for other drones in the area, as it was near an event that others might be shooting. I will try it with the M5P standard battery, and M4P standard and Plus batteries and report back here.
Unfortunately, lack of detection does not definitively establish not broadcasting RID.
You need to first confirm that your app can properly detect RID by arming the motors on a known RID broadcasting drone/battery combination. Only after confirming a detection of RID with your methodology can you then properly check for RID broadcasting using a Mini 5 Pro standard battery in the Mini 5 Pro.
The fact that you were using a Mini 4 Pro standard battery in the Mini 5 Pro when no RID was being detected means your detection methodology is flawed. The Mini 4 Pro standard battery is several grams heavier than the Mini 5 Pro battery and was always intended to broadcast RID in the M5P, unlike the M5P standard battery in the M5P, which was originally designed to not broadcast RID, until they realized that even the M5P standard battery made the M5P heavier than 250g.
Since your methodology wasn't able to properly detect the RID broadcast of the Mini 4 Pro battery in the Mini 5 Pro, it is unlikely to be able to detect any difference between the M5P standard and Plus batteries, as both will likely fail to be detected as well.
However, please do check anyway. If you can successfully detect the RID broadcast of the Plus battery, but then cannot detect RID broadcast of the M5P standard battery, you may be onto something.
