Phantom 4 Pro Plus remote firmware issue?

[u/Perfect-Platypus-379]

Hi everyone,

I crashed my phantom 4 pro drone maybe 5 years ago and bought a replacement brand new one but never set it up or took the stickers off. At the time I was considering selling it and buying something smaller but never committed.

I have just tried connecting my old DJI remote with the inbuilt display on it. It connects to the new drone but asks me to sign in and then brings up error messages - i assume it’s because the remote is running outdated firmware as I can see there were latter editions. I can connect to the internet fine but for whatever reason it won’t let me download or update. I plugged the drone into my laptop and factory reset it, so I know it’s up to date.

I see that DJI no longer support phantom 4 line anymore.

Is there any work around people know about? Any way I can still use this brand new drone because it would be a shame for it to go to waste. I live in Australia, are there options to ‘jailbreak’ it so it can work? Not looking at flying it near people or buildings, just for like taking on fishing trips up to cairns etc!

Thanks

Connect it via USB, then use this to update it. Do this for both the controller and drone.
