Unable to upload .dat file

[Ziba]

A couple of weeks ago I had a situation where the Mavic 2 Pro wouldn't launch and was getting "system failure" messages. The motors would not engage. I retrieved the dat file from it, not flight logs, and saved it which was huge - over a gig. I tried again and it produced another file that was about 104 megs. In both cases when I attempt to attach the file there is a line through the name and the file is not really uploaded. Anyone know what my problem is? I'd like someone to review it and see what happened.

Thanks

I'd like someone to review it and see what happened.

Unfortunately the MP2 aircraft .dat is encrypted and can only be read by DJI.

That's what I thought. However, someone told me that if I uploaded it to the forum that someone could read it. Oh well?

Any idea what would cause a "system failure" message and no motor engagement? The next day it ran fine, and it has run fine since, though I get nervous without knowing.

Most of the other aircraft .dat's can be read. The MP2 cannot be. However the device .dat can be read. If you can locate the device .dat from the "System Failure" it is possible something could be found there. Unlikely, but possible.

@Ziba,
To answer your first question, large files need to shared on a dropbox, onedrive etc.
As your .dat file being encrypted,
Here is some detailed information you may want to know in advance..

@Ziba,
I was checking up on you, some of your other posts.

Sar104 gave the best info on this post. .dat file from the mobile device.

System Failure upon start

"This was in the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland."
So where were you?
