Mavic 2 Enterpise Firmware Update includes ATTI Mode

Something to note…

The .0400 firmware update DOES include a battery update. The first one for the Mini range.

When you install the update, the battery in your drone at the time is automatically updated so you can discount that one.

To update the batteries you must switch off the drone, the controller and close the app.

Fit the battery to update, then power everything back on and restart the app.

Click About > Check for Updates

You’ll then see the following:

It’s been a loooooong time since I updated firmware on a stock DJI drone so it caught me out at first, I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t ‘seeing’ the battery update requirement and kept telling me it was up to date (when that battery wasn’t).

Turning off the RC and force-closing the app seemed to be the only way to get it to see that the battery needed updating.

Thanks for posting this @PingSpike. I did the firmware update yesterday but remembered today that the two remaining batteries in the Fly More combo had not yet been subjected to the update. I got a mixed response from the DJI Fly app. In some instances I just connected to the Mini with the non-upgraded battery and the app recognized the need for a firmware update. On another it didn’t do this and it wasn’t until I came all the way out to the App landing screen that it decided to advise me that this particular battery needed a firmware update.

All done now and I am putting the confusion down to a newbie experience, but I will be on the lookout for this next time they post a firmware update. I’d hate to have to sit in a flying area waiting for the batteries to complete firmware updates.

Yeah this is unusual I think:

Again, it’s been a looooong time since I updated and DJI firmware but I don’t recall ever having to go to such lengths for it to see the battery requires an update :thinking:

I think this thread is a great reminder to others that the process can sometimes be a little confusing, I like the fact that we are letting other know “It’s not just you!” :face_with_head_bandage:

lucky i only got one battery for mini I only wanted to have a play I have six batteries for the Air and six for the mavic 2 most of the time I only end up using 1 1/2 and normally have one of the other drones in the car with me so ones enough
there is a port on the bottom of the dock on the air and mavic 2 does anyone know if you can update 4 batteries at a time using this cos its a bloody pain one at a time

No mate, none of the DJI charging hubs are intelligent.

Well, they are intelligent, but they’re not running any internal software/firmware that could in turn install updates - they’re “dumb” in that respect.

The battery has to be in the drone, and the drone powered up, to get the battery firmware updated.

Imagine being a commercial pilot with a couple of drones and ten batteries for each drone?! :see_no_evil:

Enough to make you decide never to upgrade firmware, I’d imagine? :wink:
