Recently bought a Solo package and tried to get it to fly. After app download got prompt asking to perform software upgrade. Upgrade failed immediately. I thought restarting drone and controller would help, but the only message I got after restart is "Waiting for solo" on the controller screen. Solo Wifi no longer comes up. Restarting controller with two buttons does not work either. Drone boots up with green then changes its lights to blue/red. Emailed support as chat does not seem to be working. Was just posting here to see if anyone might have suggestion.
Google how to factory reset 3dr solo.
Do as it says.
Don't forget to re-pair the controller and solo.
Then start again on the update.
I just had the same problem with my new arrival. (It's a doner but I wanted to try it first to see if worked ok)
On a side note.
Version 1 gps with copper foil.
First boot took 3 minutes and 10 satellites. 0.7 HDOP
Not bad for a doner bird.
It's brand new and was imported from USA.
A friend of mine lives in Florida and managed to get me a bb deal.
If you are still struggling pm me and I'll talk you through it.
Don't forget though, it's 20:00 hrs here in the uk.
So get a wiggle on if you want a guide through it.
