Why errors appear after updates and how to fix them. Here are useful and up-to-date recommendations:

Restart the drone, controller, and smartphone

This helps complete the firmware installation correctly.
Sometimes background processes remain active after an update and interfere with operation.

Reinstall the firmware

Try updating again through DJI Fly.
If the issue was caused by a corrupted download, a clean reinstall usually fixes it.

Update not only the drone but also the controller

Version mismatches cause erratic behavior.
Always update both devices to the same version.

Calibrate all modules

Be sure to perform:
– compass calibration;
– IMU calibration;
– gimbal calibration.
Any imbalance after an update can severely affect flight stability.

Check camera and controller settings

Updates sometimes reset them.
Restore your preferred settings manually.

Clear the DJI Fly app cache

Corrupted cache can cause freezes, telemetry errors, and interface issues.

Fully charge and reinsert all batteries

After updates, batteries may also require synchronization.

If the drone behaves unstably in the air

Check the propellers, mounting tightness, and balance.
Perform a test flight in an open area without interference.

If the malfunction continues, make sure to describe the issue on Xolvie — this helps speed up the investigation and, if necessary, obtain warranty repair or component replacement.
