AUTEL EVO II FIRMWARE UPDATE: Constantly updated ( new V1 STABLE fw 2.7.35) - 28/02/2022 - (NEW V2 STABLE fw 2.3.8 - 19/04/2022)

Will this firmware update also be required for each battery?

Yes. Each battery, once connected will have to be flashed with the new firmware. You should be good after that. You should only get the OTA firmware update prompt if that particular battery hasn't been updated.

Note, I had to do a full calibration after the update to eliminate some minor accuracy issues. The proper procedure I am told (in this order)
First: Gimbal calibration
Second: Compass calibration
Third: IMU calibration.

Now it returns to home within 1 foot of it's take off spot. It is also is very accurate now with the framing for repeat mission pics.

The firmware and app versions are posted here to roll back if needed. NEVER update until all the bugs are worked out, especially if you have things working for you. Generally, they will compile a list. You have to remember that even their beta testers do not always test EVERY function you/I may use. The programmers don't just jump on each bug, fix it, and update the fw again.. The compiling will take time, at least a few weeks based on history.

according to latest posters you cannot roll back the latest, unless it is some beta so I am stuck and no you cannot roll back.

You know I'm very surprised that there are so many of the guys that buy the Autel that don't know that after every updates that you have to calibrate there Drones I think that most people that have problems don't read the manual

My Autel hits right on the spot it takes off from love it?

My Autel hits right on the spot it takes off from

I burnt off a battery last night, 15mph winds gusting to 25+. the bird was 2ft off the deck auto landing when a gust slammed it 2ft right, it just corrected, and landed within a ft of take off!!!

unfortunately i did all those things and mine points south through every waypoint unless it is RTH where it flies exactly straight...Autel are still scratching their heads over this case. I just wish I never updated...my important lesson - don't update until months after release and not day 1 like I did and then to be told I cant roll back...madness!

Why can't you just go back to 1.1.7.19 that's where I'm staying after reading all the problems a few of you guys are having well good luck .Autel will get the bugs out soon?

Hi, I have read an article how to downgrade to the previous version. Here is the link in case of you want to read.

How to guide: Roll back the firmware on an Autel Evo 2

For some reason, drone manufacturers seem insistent on us running the latest firmware on our drones. None of them are keen on allowing you to choose which firmware version you want to run with. Thankfully, the guys at https://drone-hacks.com worked out what was required in order to roll back...

Betas can be rolled back (or could, somewhat recently) to the latest official version, this according to Autel release notes. Haven't seen Autel mentioning official versions can be rolled back, however.

@Quad808 if a beta firmware can be rolled back, are you guys at DH able to see what the differences are between the beta and the final?

 

[ksphotoj]

Yes. Each battery, once connected will have to be flashed with the new firmware. You should be good after that. You should only get the OTA firmware update prompt if that particular battery hasn't been updated.

Great, thanks for the info!

I just tried and for me it still works.

 

[steve2497]

I just tried and for me it still works.

something to do with me being a new member, anyways I got the files elsewhere and as confirmed now on here on another post it DOES NOT WORK FOR 2.5 onwards, think mine was 2.6.2 (I'm half guessing what the latest firmware is!) but anyway the force update file no longer works on any new firmware so you are stuck.

Thanks anyways

Why was boat mode removed?

 

[dronographer]

I believe because it is redundant, ie. one can launch from a boat in standard mode....there may be other reasons

 

[skrano]

I'm still waiting an important major update that FIX an issue inside the app...

I'd like to have different settings for videos and for photos!
If i'm setting up parameters for videos (i'm playing videos -edited- at 30fps or sometimes at 60fps), obviously i set up 1/60" or 1/120" for shutter speed; apertures depends on conditions of light, iso lowest possible for the scene..
If i want to switch from video to photo those parameters do not have to be the same..

Why was boat mode removed?

Everyone has spent so much on AUTEL drones, no one can afford a boat as well....

 

[Claudio NC]

Why was boat mode removed?

Because quite quickly they realized that their orange drones can only fly in the air, not sail on water, and not even become submersible.
Well, better late than never.
