Of course, after watching a few utube videos on this latest firmware allowing the use of SC on a Mavic Air 2, the Wi-Fi update option is out. So, the next option is the PC based DJI assistant which recognized the SC downloaded but failed at around 66% on the transmit [2nd] stage. Multiple restarts, reset to factory, updated Mac OS, reinstallation of Assistant has not resolved the failures. I understand Customer Support is useless too. So, now what?
Addendum:
As a last resort, looking at settings that could possibly preclude a successful firmware update as it seemed as if the SmartController was powering down after a few minutes, I changed the display begin sleep setting to the max setting of 30 min.
Reattempting the install and was successful though I still got an error message at 98% of the update [3rd] stage. The device wasn’t connected to the internet and had to reestablish the WiFi. Logging onto my account seemed to allow the install to finish. Checking the firmware version now indicates V01.00.0820...
But, all this seems unnecessary tasks and stumbling as others seem to have had similar problems but no clear cut solution to avoid error messages. No particular settings nor process seems to guarantee success. Anything I did is no guarantee that someone else won’t have problems..
