Hello, dear pilots!
The other day, I let my brother fly my quadcopter, and for some reason, he updated the firmware to V1.9.10. When he returned it to me, I realized I wanted to roll it back—but I didn’t know that downgrading the firmware wasn’t possible. I took an SD card, formatted it, and loaded firmware 1.8.2 onto it. After that, I turned on the remote controller and the quadcopter and left home for about an hour.
When I came back, I saw that the remote had stopped blinking in update mode, but the drone was still blinking. I tried connecting my phone to the remote—the phone made a charging sound, but the app said the remote wasn’t turned on. Then I turned the remote off and back on, but this time, the phone didn’t react at all.
So, it seems I’ve bricked my remote controller. Does anyone know if it’s possible to reflash it using a programmer or some other method?
(Translation note: "Превратил в кирпич" is a common Russian phrase meaning "bricked," i.e., rendered the device unusable like a brick.)
Would appreciate any advice! Thanks!
