I look forward to trying Rolling Back the Updates and making sure the Controller & Drone Update Sequentially/Together (which is what I suspect Created this issue). i.e. Most people affected report that their 'Drone was in Storage', and likely not Paired at the time the Controller Updated itself (my Theory anyway). Will follow up (hopefully) on my Success Story with getting my Karma Flying Again! Thank You! Thank You!! Thank You!!! (And to GoPro, I offer a similar 3x 'Thank You', only that the first word is a FOUR letter word (Fill in the Blank).

      If you have tried reseating the camera in the stabilizer, and the stabilizer in the drone, then all that I could think to would be trying different software versions on the controller and/or manually updating the firmware on the GoPro camera.

      The latest and last version for the controller is v2.50.01, which i could not find on the internet. I am not able to login to my controller which I think should not interfere with me using the drone. Also, I have read v2.50.01 causes pairing issues.

      Aloha David. I don't appear to be able to message you directly.
      I've gone through the flashing process successfully, tried 1.11, 2.00, 2.50, and 2.50.1. 1.11 just bootloops (makes me think I have a newer, incompatible hardwareconfig), but the remaining 3 boot successfully yet never get past pairing mode.
      I would love to pick your brain on what additional small actions you took to get the drone to be receptive to pairing, or get in a mode beyond the alternating red/green pairing stage.
      @Donovan, thank you SO much for all the work you've done. this tool setup is a major milestone

  • @Meph4ik
    @Meph4ik 2 года назад +1

    Two days ago I discovered that I have essentially zero karma. She probably never took to the air. Because when the controller was turned on, it started looking for the drone, and when it found it, it offered to update, but after about 20 seconds from the start of the update, the drone started flashing red and interrupted the process. So I could only choose a wifi network and try in vain to update it. When I saw your video, there was hope, I installed the android firmware first, and then tested other firmware, but after installing any of them, the controller started to fail. Maybe it's worth waiting before trying to use the controller, so I installed 2.50.1 from under the bosemanx video and I'll probably leave the controller until the morning, because besides the gopro and karma inscriptions, it only gives a black screen. By the way, when I tried to return to the original version I saved, the controller began to catch the Wi-Fi signal very badly, and even if I coped with it, then nothing happened at all. I don't really believe in success, but you still gave me hope)

    • @Meph4ik

      In the morning the controller started to work better, I was able to log into my gopro account and I was offered to update the controller, which I did

    Great job with what you've done. It must have taken quite some time to work this out. However, there are a crap load of people that seem to be having issues with their drone and controllers after they update the firmware. Their is a connectivity issue. The drones wont pair with the controllers. Is it possible to be able to downgrade the controller firmware to a previous version? Or to be able to reflash the controller to the previous firmware? For example after drone owners flashed their drone with version 2.5.01 the drone ceased to pair - but was fine under 2.5.0 - give it some thought. Thanks

    Just bought a used GoPro Karma Drone. I didn't know anything about Karma issue before I bought it. Luckily it seemed (not quite sure) that the controller is pairing fine with the drone. Firmwares seemed to be updated to Hero6 2.10, Stabilizer 2.00, Controller & Drone are both on 2.50.1 (yes 2.50.1, not 2.50.01). This is the firmware info I got off the controller. I haven't calibrate the drone nor test fly it yet. Just want to take my time to learn more without making any mistakes to lose the pairing. The drone was not factory reset yet and still retain previous owner account settings. Does anyone know if factory reseting the drone will lose the pairing?

    • @donovanlawson2848
      @donovanlawson2848  2 года назад

      Resetting the controller will mean you have to repair with the drone, but the pairing issue seems to arise when updating the drone/controller (it might be a bug in the update process), I haven't heard anything about it coming up when you reset the controller. You should be good for a reset, good luck!

      @@matthewdovi8548 Unfortunately no. Flashing it as demonstrated in the video allows you to repurposed the controller as an android device to run standard android apps on it, like RUclips and Moonlight Game Stream. You can also flash previous versions of the stock OS using the same method if you are having drone related issues.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The command .update mread store system normal 0x3f682f00 dumpsystem.img ora .update partition system dumpsystem.img works. When you type the .update partition command, the system final88.img does not go any further. Downloaded files. I do everything as in the movie. Although two of the three commands work, nothing is installed on the controller. After turning it on, I still have the latest software.

      It allows you to run standard android apps on the controller. For instance, RUclips, or Asphalt 9 (a racing game). The stock OS is Android, it just will not allow you to launch normal Android apps.
