I just updated (2) copters and controllers from Open Solo 3.0 to Open Solo 4.0. I followed directions precisely and both installs appeared to go fine...all messages throughout the process were successful, etc. HOWEVER, when complete, controller is stuck on "Waiting for Solo". It also doesn't see the copter when trying to pair. I factory reset the copter successfully. When trying to reset the controller by pressing Power & FLY buttons till update shows on the screen...nothing, the controller just powers up as normal, and goes to "Waiting for Solo" forever. BOTH controllers and copters are doing exact same thing. I figured I'd try to factory reset the controllers, but the Power & FLY button method doesn't work. How do I do a factory reset on the controller running Open Solo 4.0??
 
Just to follow up. Jon B. on the 3DR Solo Facebook page told me this. If you haven't, you should check out his FB page. The Factory Reset procedure for a controller running Open Solo 4.0 is the same as for Open Solo 3.0. Press the Fly & Power button at the same time until the "Updating..." message appears on the screen. This worked on one of my controllers, but not the other...it apparently has some other issue.

You may have a button not working properly, or you may have a corrupted SD card in that controller.

My buttons were working fine with never a glitch up and until I updated from OS 3.0 to OS 4.0...then everything went bad. I'm sure my SD card is corrupted. I have (1) working controller and copter still on OS 3.0, so I'm gonna leave it there and just fly it. Thanks for your help...and your FB page.
