FCC HACK 2022 UPDATE - HOW TO FIX BAD RANGE
ruclips.net/video/x2WNHrnUU5A/видео.html
a true mastermind you are
Ok ... So I already covered how to switch for both Mavic Mini and Mavic Air 2 in my previous comment :P
Actually don't make people confused ... You are doing 1.0.8 installation and I already explained the 0 version for Mini is 1.0.6 and for the Air 2 is 1.1.10 ... Simply you forgot to explain to the people that it is better to use another Android device (compatible of course and without DJI Fly App installed previously) to not screw up your DJI logs if you have any DJI care refresh and in case need to use it ... And I learned it on my own following your first video for FCC hack ... Just started trying the same for the Air 2 and I did it with Air 2 as well ;)
yes, about 200-300 meters is correct. Better with range boosters and in non-urban areas. Thx for your content!
Looks like loopholes are fixed. 1.0.8 doesn't start on any of my phones. Neither does any before 1.1.4.
Same 1.0.8 doesn't start
As far as i know you need phone with android 11 or lower
Older app versions of Dji fly can’t be installed. So there is no fcc mode available. In Athens, greece can’t even fly downtown above 25m..
Thanks for your clear tutorials. I still got the FCC hack done with most recent DJI FLY app both with Jailbroken IOS(Cydia app akLocationX) and Android(Fake GPS). I Initially struggled testing after the process because engines didn't start indoors due to lack of light and no gps(It was midnight). Unlocking gps would mean that i should have connected my IOS device losing the 11 channels.
Later i realized VPS system was disabled due to lack of light so just adding some light meant that engines started and i could connect the device. FCC mode was still there with normal CE location. Today i tested outside and followed your sequence successful.
DJI fly 1.1.2 works and I believe it does on 1.1.3 too. I think it got patched on 1.1.4
Does this hack work with the Dji Mavic Air 2?
So the 1.1.3 version, what stuff do we miss from the latest update?
Funy apk mirror dont have anymore 1.1.3, i download 1.1.2
you have so many useful videos, great job mate!
Thank you man, from fist video i learn how to hack is not problem at all.
A Legend this Man is.
app 1.0.8 Force close
Great news haha, im back. Sorry wasn't on many video comments. Amazing video now that im in europe, im gonna use many of these hacks haha. Moved from canada to russia woah.
Glad to see you back
Thanks for the tip. Love your channel.
What futures do we missed if we use the 1.1.3 version that still support FCC?
Works for me. One question: what if i will ever need to calibrate the compass? How will I know and how will I perform it?
You need to do do it normally and redo the instructions
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA Thanks for the quick response! My point is: will the drone take off, with no phone connected, if the compass needs calibration? I'm worried I'll never know if it needs calibration since it will be in the air the I plug the phone
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA does RTH still work if you do this?
In general, I don't fly my mini far enough away to need this but it interesting to know it is possible. I like to see my drone when filming and I don't waste battery going out and back by flying this way. Of course there may come time when for whatever reason this is not possible so thanks for posting this.
i just want to try it, but i still love my CE
Yet again, another interesting informative video. Quick question, will this hack work with the Mavic Air 2, obviously the Air 2 uses occusinc not WIFI..
Great content and great videos. Thank you very much , keep going.
Awesome video. Your a great hacker ha very well explained 👍
Fantastic information Henrik. I have saved this video as it is great to have the 11 channel functionality 😉
This is not working anymore. Old dji fly apps are not starting anymore.... any other options ?
me 2
Thats my problem to
Thank you for your help!!! Happy flying!
dji dont let you to install so older version ...
Actually it works for the Mini even with your version but not working for Mavic Air 2 with newer versions of the app so let me tell you the exact (0) versions with which it really works for both:
Ok because there are many RUclips videos on how to switch Mavic Mini or Mavic Air 2 in FCC mode while you are in Europe (two of them are yours) and because all of the videos are not showing the exact 0 version which you need to have on your phone and I made my own research/homework how to successfully switch to FCC on my own, now the smallest thing that I can tell you guys and girls is the exact versions (0 version upon release of each of the drones) of DJI fly app with which you will really be able to succeed but make sure before you install them you do the following sequence:
In Apps go to your current DJI fly App (DISCLAIMER !!! make this at your own risk and if you clear cache and data you'll lose all logs if you land up to use DJI care refresh and if DJI request them from your phone) and Clear Cache, Clear Data, Force Stop and Uninstall. Then google for those versions of the DJI Fly App and download them:
Mavic Mini:
dji.go.v5_1.0.6-3041603_minAPI23(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
It even start without downloading resources from the Internet. But Fake GPS need to be started with US location in advance and the WiFi need to be switched off or even better to be in Airplane Mode in advance !
Mavic Air 2:
dji.go.v5_1.1.0-2043467_minAPI23(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
This one is downloading resources from Internet and once downloaded I suggest you to switch off your WiFi make sure the app is starting, then Power off phone (with Airplane mode already switched on in advance and Fake GPS already been used and have last fake US position cached) then continue using Airplane mode after phone switched on, then start Fake GPS with the last know fake GPS location and then start the DJI Fly App 1.1.0 with phone connected to the remote in advance(remote switched off and after app started then turn off the remote on) then turn on the drone itself and cover the area from the nose of the drone to where the battery tray starts with solid snartphone (or else solid thing which will not let drone to lock GPS)...
Once you see Drone and app are connected and you see camera view go to the 3 dots menu and on transmission tab see that the ~1KM in the right is above the line (means FCC mode) if on the line then means you are still in CE mode and you didn't done it right ...
For the Mavic Mini is easier because once you start in the same way the 1.0.6 app and connect to remote and switch on remote and then switch on drone and cover with solid smartphone same department, a pop up message with telling you "Aircraft resetting wireless network settings to match local laws and regulations. Wait and connect again later." And you definitely need to press OK at this moment...
Then switch off drone, remote and app on phone
Now both MM and MA2 are in FCC mode now.
In order to keep them in FCC you need to switch drones on, power on remote then sticks to be pressed with thumbs down-inside (or google how to start motors with only remote connected without smartphone connect) and then after motors started connect your iPhone with even the latest DJI Fly App.
Don't forget to not land before you disconnect phone from cable and then land to keep FCC mode ON !
ENJOY !!!
one question, do I connect my phone after motors start spinning or after i lift off the ground?
Very nice, thx a lot.
i saw also your Spark FCC mode video..sir, your videos make me happy, soo smart..*Now, I have Mavic Air 2 .. Help, how can I get FCC on my M. Air 2 ? thank in advance .. Very good work keep up the good work :]
the dji app wont open
it works!
One question, sometimes when the controller is connected to the phone and the drone is turned on on the floor it will ask to you to do a IMU compass calibration, how can you do it if you can't connect the the controller to the phone when the drone is landed?
Hi from Macedonia 🇲🇰
I tried to falow your steps,when I press download app on my phone,my phone shows me,,your download is starting....
But nothing happened,I tried many times
Will this work for Dji Mavic Air 2?
on my IOS Fly app there are no frequenties to check , only a blockdiagram and signal distortions, but it also works on ios only then you can see if you are in FCC when the 1 KM line is on 85% and in CE Mode the 1 km line stands on 95%
Hi .
Yes this hack works not sure how much it gives me as I'm using a ce drone but yes it works
Is there a big ditto you I have a mini in CE mode and imna bit afraid to mess with it tbh
If you do this hack does your drone still have the ability to Return to home??
Yes it’s the GPS in the drone that knows to home position
A review of FPV glasses flying with a Mavic Mini!? Thanks
Thank´s- it work´s! Now, i´m waiting for my holiday in kenia for testing ;-)
Awesome job, keep up the great content. I've learned many things from your videos, thanks.
How can I enable fcc mode on my dji mini SE drone
I've got an FCC version (present from a friend in the US) and only iPhone. What options are there for fake GPS without android? Currently my drone is almost unusable due to range and interference issues... btw, your channel is amazing and learning a lot from you. :-)
You could try the following:
In settings>transmission, select manual, select the wifi channel that has the lowest green bar
Put your phone into aircraft mode (this will reduce interference)
This gave me better range but your milage may vary
You could also invest in a yagi antenna (2.4ghz version) and or a parabolic reflector that slots over your stock antenna. You will need to be pointing your remote directly at the mini to maintain connection
I hope this helps
Hi, I secceeded to install dji fly version 1.0.8 but when launching the app is get an error " retrieving resource file failed....". Also tried version 1.1.2 getting the same result - ANY IDEA?
same here.. anyone else?
Do I need to do this when using Litchi too?
The question we need to ask here is why is range limited in Europe. The answer is largely to do with security rather than flight safety. Certainly in controlled airspace, largely over cities and airports which are the focus of terrorist activity long range drones are not a good mix. The security services can detect high output transmitters. Any mobile high power transmitter in the areas will be classified as a threat.....be very careful!
YOU ARE TALKING OUT OFF YOU ASS!!! BULLSHIT!!! Not one freaking wifi-signal transmitter will be able to create interferance in any airspace! This only has to do with the interferance it will or could have with consumer products on that same band wide! Also you do not use any 3G or 4G mobile signal of your phone to control that drone! IT"S ONLY USING THE WIFI 2.4ghz and 5ghz bandwide. So the only reason that they limit the output, that is against people getting problems with your wifi in ad home! Also rules and regulations here are the same around any airports and controlled airspace! Yes they have equipment to pinpoint you when you are in close range and causing interferance to other systems. Still the limited power of the transmitter is not there to stop you enter into prohibited airspace! FOR THAT THEY HAVE GEOFENCING! TO CONCLUDE: FLYING ANY DRONE OR RC AIRCRAFT INTO SHORTER RANGE OFF AND ABOUT 3KM IS ASKING FOR TROBBLE! LAST BUT NOT LEAST! The facts that CE mode effects the drones communication signal is in NO SENSE a good thing and creates more problems that it solves! So if you want to pull that safety card.....wel its better off just having its full power! Because lesser drones should then venture off in the horizon. Never to be seen again! Think before you respond.
Bruh it's WiFi it's not that strong, it's the same with a wifi bridge AP
Hi!
Do you know if an FCC controller will work with an European mavic mini 1? I broke my controller and got a used FCC controller, however I can’t pair them. Any suggestions to what I can do?
not working anymore , doesen't download the database , error donwloading , check connection , i've tryed over WIFI and over DATA , and same error :(
I’ve downloaded the FCC app and installed it. There’s one thing I do t understand. I’ve watched the drone tweaks vid and I’ve watched others.
I can’t tell if I’m in FCC mode as the line at 90 doesn’t line up with the bar and the 100 line is below the line.
I’m not sure if I’m in that FCC mode how do I tell if i’am. Thank you and thanks for another great video
Congrats for the excellent video ! I made a mistake and I bought a Mini 2 CE version despite the fact that I live in a country that FCC is allowed. Can use this hack in my drone ? Thanks.
It does not have enough power, you will get a little improvement but not as much as the real FCC drone
But it is the same hardware no matter from where you are buying the dji mini 2.
This hack doesn't works any more because hardwares are different in CE and FCC. CE version's signal strength is 18dbm while in FCC that has 30dbm so obviously it has a bigger range than CE and we can't increase the signal strength by just a software because of the hardware has the less capability and the most noticeable thing in this video is when he finished all the hacking process and goes to the transmission tab the channels are changed to 11 but frequency is still 2.4GHZ.... which should be 5.8ghz as FCC is.
So there is no way to change from CE to FCC.
Nihar Ranjan Mahali I noticed that to the signals after his apparent hack looked a lot weaker as well.
This comment is incorrect in so many ways.... frequency does *not* need to change to 5.8 because it’s in FCC mode, it simply allows the transmitters to be turned up a bit (nowhere near “true” fcc model levels but still higher than the default, especially for the 5.8 band where you get from 500m max range to about 1400m). It will still stay in 2.4 unless there is interference as 2.4 provides better range.
@@RaduBogdan2k can you technically explain how does this hack increases signal strength by just using a application??
Brilliant video, I was wondering, does this also work with the DJI Air 2s?
No because because the dji air 2s has occusync and the occusync drones can switch between CE and FCC even while the drone is airborne if you want to force your air 2s to switch to FCC you will need a hack.
THANK YOU LEGEND!
I wonder about mini 3 with or without smart controller and if the slow GPS acquisition by covering the drone is enough to keep it in the fcc mode
How about iPhone ?
One question ... how about the return to home then? Does the drone then fly to the point where the fake GPS point is set?
That is my question too
Yes.... Search for the comment made by @Per Erichsen
i don't install the program. after APK start: "retreiving resource file failed. etc...". Maybe the DJI remove this files. Not correct
the app installs but when you click on it, the app doesn't open😞
awsome video d you think you could try find out if theres some work around to get this to work on the new mini 2 my ranges sucks lucky to get 300m in middle of rural new zealand yet says 6 to 10km on box
Would this hack also work in Thailand where the range seems to be even less than the UK?
Is the CE hobbling of the power in the DJI Fly app, or the Mini controller or the drone itself?
They have separate hardware FCC or CE
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA Thanks so much. I'm thinking of buying a controller from the USA. Will the CE drone work with that? And will the US controller be hobbled by the software knowing it's working in the UK? Sorry to ask such questions but it's a really interesting area.
And by the way, one important use for the Yagi aerials for DJI is that they can be used on the aerials of wifi transmitters and receivers to boost range connecting wifi between buildings . . .
jeg bor i dk og har en full fcc model købt i USA. Jeg har ramt 5,1 km med den. (med hack) det er vildt.
I’ve used my iPhone 6 since launch with great success, I’m now using a Samsung Galaxy and the Android version of Fly is terrible, laggy, loss of connection... can’t believe the difference between platforms
Seem to be with new update firmware, these fcc hack not working anymore :( so sad
hey there and thanks for making this. i havent tried it yet, but im asking about the fake app id, while its on , i cant use the navigation app off course 😉, is there any way to keep it local or the only way ia to pause the fake id app?
Only way is to disable
Thanks for the great video, it is very helpful but may I ask, can I download the fake gps location app in iOS, or is there any solutions to do it in iOS, thank you.
I tried it today, and it really works ! But when i land to change battery i completly forgot to hover and disconnect the phone!
what if use always airplane mode do we need to disconnect the phone before landing?
Hi, just tried on version 1.1.2 and it works! Just when i minimize the fly app, i noticed the icon of fake gps running on the background. do i need to always run fake gps when running the dji fly app to preserve the hack?
yes
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA Noted Thank you
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA but if you switch back to your stock gps, when starting the app it’s not gonna ask you to re switch to CE mod as with DJI go4? And then pressing cancel to keep it in fcc? It will switch back without asking ?
Did you compare the flight time and remote control battery usage between modes? I think FCC mode will drain the remote's battery quicker, but how much?
I get over 25 min flight time on my FCC version. Mine is almost new too.
Does this hack also work with the Litchi app for Android
I have not tried
Hello sir new subscriber here, is this also applicable for dji mini se sir? Thank you...
Is another option to get a signal booster for the antenna?
Hej thanks for all your videos :), im in Denmark and I'm using Mavic air 2 but I couldn't instal the app network error on ur video is 6:06
Thanks again :)
What if I lose contact midflight? Will the drone come back home because of fake GPS?
Yes
Hi is your latest video with patch app working on mini se? On latest firmware
we need this for the dji Avata
Switching to manual transmission and choosing a 2.4ghz works well enough for me
I’m also good without
Try that in my city, Sofia, you'll get 300m at most! With FCC Hack and my homemade parabolic reflectors I get to over 1km distance in heavily wi-fi polluted areas..
Sweet
Keep well and be safe
Bel video completo !
App crash on Android 11 :(
Hello, for some reason any older app i download just keeps crashing on my phone?
Me too
Best hack..self build or get a yuneec..simple. great video though 👍🏽
I live in EU. Once this hack is done, what empty channel should I pick? 2.4 Ghz or 5.8 Ghz?
I'm reading lots of discussions that the hack does not change the frequency and it does not achieve anything as the FCC has different hardware that CE model I would to know the actual answer to who is correct
even this video didnt work, what is the firmware virsion on the mini ?, found the issue the firmware on the mini has to be downgraded to 0400 via the dji assistant app before it works
I did all steps but when i check the transmission after its still in 5.8ghz and still 13 channels?
Hi , great video , is this hack possible with Mavic air 2 ???
I don’t have a Mavic Air 2
ive flown mine 1700 feet high with very little disruption to signal
Is this just for the mini? Can it be for the spark? And perhaps mavic air 2?
In principle yes but range and stability should be an issue with Air 2 because of occusync
There are modded apps available for iPhone that make the fake gps method obsolete and that work for both Air 2 and the Spark.
Hi , i tried this for dji mini 2 , i did everything you do .but when i try to connect , rc mobile can't connect with device, how can we fix this ?
i hav same problem😭
I have to ask, as Can not find any data on this online, and hacks are not my preferred way as the limitation is hardware based. Can one purchase a remote for FCC (US, asia, etc) and use it with the mavic mini CE version, or the mini itlself also sucks signal wise?
Ty in advance
Does this work for mini 2? In india altitude is limited to 15mtr how do I change it.
Still works? Are other drones easier to get in FCC. Really fed up with poor range in UK
please do a video for dji mini se...pleaseeee !
Hi! I'm having problems with my Mavic Mini. The aircraft is always with low connection no matter the location. It started to happen a few days ago and now the aircraft doesn't connect in control anymore. Help me please!!!!

Any FCC hack working for the mini 2 and latest updates together with litchi?
I have not checked lately as I really don’t need it with mini 2

What will happen if the connection is lost? will it come back to me or will it be lost?
Come back to you
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA
I tried it today, the difference was incredible, everything works perfectly
Α big thank you!!!
You can lock the FCC with litchi beta for mavic mini, so you dont need pull out the cable before flying
That's interesting. So, what is the process when using the Litchi app ?
Do you set the FCC hack with the phone unplugged first ?
What's the process ?
First use fake gps, change transmission to FCC use dji fly 1.1.2, when completed, shutdown all, turn on again use litchi without pull out the cable, litchi will lock the FCC although MM use local GPS, is it for android only, not for iOS
Tks
work ?? in this time?? i have a mini se model ce
