SOLVED Autel Lite+ How to force Firmware Update?

[ivolin]

Hi guys,

How to upgrade my drone? I have latest Autel Sky App
And I see that I have outdated versions of firmware even text colored red. But Autel Sky is not asking me to do so.
Any Ideas how to force this process?

UPD:
Finally I did it.

- Reinstalled Autel Sky App prompted me to update firmware.
Ok. that's good, but.. But It stucked at 24% with message "Upgrade failed"
- I tried 20+ times. With Wi-fi on\off, Cell Data on\off, using different cards etc.. Same - It stucked at 24%
- Then I connected my smartphone to PC and went to This PC\**YourDeviceName**\Internal Memory\Android\data\com.autel.autelsky\files\Upgrade
- And what? I see EVO-Lite_FW_V1.4.64.zip!
- I formatted SD card and copied zip there
- I cleaned Upgrade folder on my device
- I put SD cart into drone and rebooted controller and drone.
Sure - I had doubts will it turn my Light+ to brick or not.. But I tried.
- upgrade went a bit strange - it jumped from 0 to "actual" percent than back to 0 than to new "actual". And took about 20 mins and againg stucked at 24% with message "Upgrade failed".
But when I rebooted comtroller and drone Autel Sky said that i have Latest Firmware. Now everywhere under About menu in Firmware version table I have latest numbers.

YOU COULD REPEAT THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK ONLY.

Why can’t Autel allow download to uSD card and then upgrade occurs when you power on the drone? MUCH faster and reliable!!

Autel just sucks….and sucks bad…and they charge a premium for these headaches too!

Yes indeed, they have a good product but when you try and upload the latest firmware, it is pain in the arse, I wish we can updated through SD card, like the Evo2 8k and the pro, now I bought myself a DJ I drone as a backup, and now I use it more than my lite plus, LOL

I can't get the darn thing to update for the life of me. DJI is never this bad! I deleted and reinstalled the Sky App....nothing. Not sure what to do since I don't even see a download link for the firmware? Ugh.

DJI for consumers hands down 900000% superior. Good move!
