Fireware Update failed V2.0.19

[Reis]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to update my Evo Lite+ to the latest firmware version V2.0.19. I've read that some users are choosing to skip this update, but on iOS, the app doesn’t allow me to fly without updating.

I've used a new, compatible SD card formatted via the Autel Sky app. However, every time I attempt the update, I receive the following error:

"Upgrade failed. Please restart the vehicle and remote controller to try again."

Both the controller and the aircraft are fully charged during each attempt. I've also tried multiple SD cards—all compatible and formatted through the app—but the issue persists. I wish there were a way to bypass the update since the drone was working perfectly before.

My current app and firmware versions are:

• iOS App Version: V1.7.36 (202501012040)
• Aircraft Firmware: V1.9.9

I’ve read that it might be possible to manually update both the controller and aircraft by downloading the firmware to the SD card. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find the latest firmware file on the Autel website.


I’d really appreciate any help or guidance you can offer.


Thanks, everyone!

Go to the Nano forum, updating firmware.

All battery fully charged.
Are you connected to the internet?
Did you try with another hotspot?

I translated with my phone. It depends on what version of firmware you have to start with. There is a lot of current info under the Nano plus forum. I don't know anything about changing the battery in the controller.

Tôi dịch bằng điện thoại của mình. Tùy thuộc vào phiên bản phần mềm bạn phải bắt đầu. Có rất nhiều thông tin hiện tại trong diễn đàn Nano plus. Tôi không biết gì về việc thay pin trong bộ điều

Của tôi là autel lite plus và pin tay cầm khá yếu. Tối muốn thay thế nó. Phần mềm trên lite plus là mới nhất năm 2025

If it is the latest you cannot roll it back.

Nếu là phiên bản mới nhất thì bạn không thể khôi phục lại được nữa.

Vâng cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều

Get in touch with Autel to get firmware update Link, they ask for serial number of the drone then send the link, then you download link to sd card , if sd is used then you have to format, if sd card is new you don’t have to format, turn on turn on controller then drone then it will update,
It takes 15 to 20min

Autel doesn’t give a s%$t about us consumer drone pilots. It probably won’t update because Autel didn’t update their Sky app in the Apple Store and will never happen because they forgot about us who bought these drones a long time ago.
