I'm new to Solo and am having a hell of a time seeing a video stream out of GP 4 black to Iphone6.
Had a chat with 3DR support and they said that they only updated to 3.0 and have stopped updating for Solo.
Not super pleased but it is what it is. Found a few a posts on YouTube ect with rollback updates 1.02, 2.0 firmware as well as 3.0 in an obscure forum.
I read the GoPro disclaimer saying that if you rollback you'll brick your camera blah blah blah...we won't support it...blah. I think they are using scare tactics which pisses me off even more. They probably want everyone to go out and buy a Karma. No thank you, Solo kicks ass once it's tweaked a bit.
Being super frustrated I decided I'd chance it. Tried every firmware I found and rolled each one back and tested with Solo. They all sucked in terms of the camera being seen by the gimble, connection issues ect. except for
3.0 firmware. The camera turned on when I powered up Solo. I was able to record, ect. Suffice it to say I think I have a bad HDMI port because when I connect to a monitor/TV I don't seen anything except black. *(&^$%$)(^&)(#*&!!!! Oh well.
It was a bear to find the 3.0 firmware which 3DR says is the last supported version so I thought I'd share it with anyone who is having issues with higher versions or can't find it anywhere.
Here is a list of versions I tried:
1.02
2.0
3.0
4.0
5.0
My camera is working fine except for the HDMI port which has nothing to do with (I don't think) with firmware.
Here is the link to GP Hero 4 Black 3.0 firmware
GP 4 black3.0 UPDATE.zip
If anyone needs versions 1.02 or 2.0 let me know and I'll share with you.
Cheers
I also upgraded the GPS -
mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N / 3DR SOLO Upgrade
Wow what a difference!
This may be old news to a lot of you here, I'm sure it is but I thought I'd share.
