No. Sensible to wait. Both here and elsewhere there are too many reports of issues. Chinese text in menus, Win 10 USB driver and connection issues etc.
SC software version 1.00.0650

Check you Device Manager/Portable Devices and if you see this:
Then try following my info in Accessing Smart Controller's internal or sd-card files via usb?

Okay, I just updated mine over the smart controller itself. I set the M2Z on the floor and turned it on. Then started the SC and went in go 4 app. It checked right away and found an update available, I told it to go ahead and download which took a quite a while even on a fast internet connection. It then came up and asked to install, and I told it to go ahead. While it was installing I was looking through the features it was adding. As I was scrolling down the list near the end was a "note" that the update needs to be done with assistant 2. By that time it was well into the install. At the end of the install it reboots the smart controller (it actually looks like it reboots twice according to the lights on the AC), and goes to the main screen. I started the go 4 app and started the motors with the sticks, and it seems to work fine. Just a note, my smart controller is basically right the way it came out of the box except for normal routine updates. I wonder if third party apps that have been installed could be causing issues. Just a thought? By the way, the whole process probably took about 10 minutes to complete.

Hi, my SC updated ok. No Chinese fonts, the quick start works fine. Also noticed that when the go4 app crashed on me( I was trying to change the map to hybrid but would not because the WiFi had not started up, I was constantly pressing the hybrid icon thinking it was a map issue and go4 crashed)the app restarted itself good, to know.

| SC was perfect before the update. Now, no flight logs showing. Also, can't connect to PC to transfer files. I connect to the PC, there is no 'connection' sound and it does not appear in Windows Explorer. It also does not appear under hardware device manager. A notice DOES come up that it is charging under slow mode. So the SC has a physical connection to the PC. But now the PC does not recognize the PC as a portable device or USB connection or anything. edit: Using the SC file browser to check for flight records. All my previous flight records have been stored under: SanDisk SD card / DJI / dji.go.v4 / FlightRecord After update, new flights are now stored in Internal DJI / dji.go.v4 / FlightRecord And now the new ones that are now being stored in Internal aren't listed in the Flight Data screen on the SC,and can't be synced with DJI servers. Also, the SC will no longer connect to DJI Assistant v 2.0.10. As I wrote, the PC does not 'know' a portable device has been plugged in, so Assistant also can't connect |

Thinking I should downgrade to older version. ?Here’s one vote for that being the “right” approach.
I have just upgraded the smart controller from version 01.00.0530 to the newest 1.00.0650 via my home WiFi internet connection. Download and installation succeeded at the first attempt and without any problems. There was no computer involved.
On my previous attempt some time ago when trying to upgrade to 1.00.0530 it was not possible to perform this via the dji Assistant software. Attempts on several computer didn't get the job done. The smart controller was never recognized on the computers. So when I gave up on this strategy and tries the simple WiFi connection it worked right away.
On this last upgrade to 1.00.0650 I didn't even bother to try the Assistant Software.
Hope this helps to confirm that the WiFi solution is working although the message on the sc screen recommends to use the Assistant.

To finish with my contributions to this neverending topic, I would just repeat my experience with SC firmware updates.
My SC only updates (this version, as well as previous .530) via mobile internet, connected to Hotspot that is my mobile phone.
There is no logic, at least I don't see it, but that's how it works for me.
And no, DJI assistant on my Windows 10 don't want to see my SC, so I uninstalled it and don't have problems with it.

Ditto. Exact same experience.
Others seem to have updated successfully via Wifi and no Assistant. I tried that and got an endless loop of saying there was an update which never actually worked until I used Assistant which worked - seemingly but now the SC is unrecognised by Assistant.
There are other reasons for wanting to use Assistant so not just a matter of it worked by wifi so why bother.
As far as I know the update suggests the firmware cannot be rolled back. That is/was one reason for using Assistant as you could see previous firmware versions and could roll back. We shall see if Assistant ever gets updated rollback is then offered.
I just updated my smart controller. Downloading and installation went smoothly. This was all done via the wifi in my home. No assistant used.

Yea, spent some time looking to see about rolling back the update.
Problem is, the only way I've ever seen how is using the Assistant.
But now that the PC doesn't 'see' the SC connection, Assistant doesn't either, so can't use it.
Very tempted to do a factory reset.
Will wait a few days and try some more things first.
Gotta say, DJI updates are always a nightmare.
People complain about Microsoft.
But if they were anything like DJI, they would have been out of business a long time ago.

Ok - a workaround fix for USB connection:
1) Turn on developer mode:
a) go to Settings / About remote controller / System Version and tap it 7 times
This will give you a Developer Options line in the Settings menu
2) Enter developer options
a) scroll like half way down, looking for 'Select USB Configuration'
b) change the option to MTP
You should get the familiar 'bing-bong' connection noise and the SC is now available as an MTP device.
However, after disconnecting the SC, this process doesn't 'stick' and will need to be done each time you want to connect.
(the changing USB part - the developer options stay)
Gonna try connecting to DJI Assistant now to rollback.
The Android Kernal was also updated with this update.
The earlier/problem (my current) version is dated Jan 6, the newest is dated Jan 11.

No luck connecting to DJI Assistant.
The program window just sits there doing nothing.
Worthless.
FYI: If you want USB Configuration to stay MTP, you can turn on USB debugging:
1) scroll down a little ways to 'USB debugging' and slide the switch to on.
2) double check the MTP connection is still selected as before
Now, it might 'stick'.
Problems, drag down from the top of the home screen.
You should have 2 notification bubbles.
Select the one that says USB for ... and select file transfer.
I previously used USB debugging, but turned off because it is.... ummm - buggy HAHA

It's hard to say exactly what went on here today with the update. I was so excited to see an unexpected update for the SC and the DJI Go4 app, that I did not read all the instructions before downloading the update to the SC via WiFi. Imagine that! So after downloading, I started reading the posts here and saw that the update was supposed to be done with the DJI Assistant 2 app, so I didn't hit install, and tried to hook up with my computer. I first updated Assistant 2 to v2.0.10. I couldn't get that to work either, because the computer never saw the SC. I went back and figured I would try the download as that has always worked for me. This time, all I got was 1%, and it never went further. I tried other USB ports, even a 2.0 port, and that one at least made a sound when I plugged it in. Still no luck. I did all the steps that the SC User Manual said to do under System Update with Assistant 2, but without the USB connection, that was doomed. I restarted the SC several times without success. Then I thought maybe because I had already downloaded the update, that's why it wouldn't hook up with Assistant 2, kind of a dumb idea, and even dumber, I removed the SD card from the SC figuring maybe the download was there. Well, when I restarted the SC and it asked if I wanted to install the downloaded update, I said yes, and it started at 5%, and kept on going. It completed the install, restarted and everything worked! It updated DJI Go4 too. It was definitely the WiFi download that worked, because I never was connected to the computer via USB. Later on I read a very good description of how to fix the USB problem by @PAW in post #22. I tried that and I noticed that I didn't have the MTP device in Portable Devices under Device Manager. I then reread that great post and saw that there was a screen that would pop up on the SC itself asking how you wanted to use the connection. Once I saw that and picked "Transfer Files", I heard the usual sound of a USB device connecting, and MTP appeared in Device Manager, and without an error no less. Then Assistant 2 also worked and I could see the proper updates were installed. Well that was a long story, but I hope it will help someone.
