Hay everyone. Just an update. It seems DJI have changed the method shown in this video and from reports it’s no longer showing the option to change to FPV mode when you downgrade. If your seeing this is not the case please let me know but right now it appears DJI have intensionally broke this again. Frankly I’m at a loss with what’s running though their mind with this whole situation for FPV users.

I can confirm, My goggles will not activate. I tried this method, and the option to change FPV mode is gone. I cannot figure out a workaround, I have spent probably 5 hours trying to make it work and it does not seem to work. I got the full combo and connecting it to the APP has not worked either.

@Zachary Gafford are you activating it with an android phone? If so, make sure your phone has usb debugging enabled. You'll have to go to developer settings on your phone - you can look up how to do that online. It took hours before someone at DJI's support to figure out that this was my problem.

My friend, your simple and straight instructions just saved the day! My son and I finally got our FPV flying! Many thanks!!

You really saved my day, just received the new goggles V2 and couldn't activate. And now it is working!! Thanks a million.

Your a top bloke for going more in depth 👊

I can't thank you enough. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. It was not using the OTG cable. I can't thank you enough for this clarification on this.

Solid Like mate, you are very handson and have helped me where i was stuck!

I was having issues for a few ours until I found your video. The version now is 1.5 and I did not have to downgrade, but I was up in running in no time. Thanks Much. Your advice put in the ballpark for a successful update and activation.

Genius explanation! I tried everything. My macbook, DJI forum and videos, other KZread vids, all failed to activate my goggles. You easily explained it. Using my phone's charging cord and the app made all the difference. Thank you! I was so frustrated for hours..

Tanks man! You save my life, really appreciate this video!

Just activated a new DJI FPV - Had problems not connecting to an Android phone. Did use the my own cable as recommended but it didn't work, then I rewatched the video and noticed that Mad had the DJI adapter plugged into the headset, then the cable into the phone. I had the adapter plugged into the phone side. When I switched it around.... It worked. Great video and comments.

This got me on the right track thanks. For those with a note 10, don't try and find a data cable that has usb A at one end and usb c at the other to use the little adapter. Just use the double ended usb c that came with the phone and hook straight from the goggles to the phone

I have the controller 2 but not the drone or the goggles as I'm just using the controller for sims like LiftOff, DRL etc. However the controller was seen by windows 10 and liftoff etc but would NOT calibrate. It needed to be binded/activated with the drone (and possibly the goggles as well) which I don't have. Anyway sent mine to Drone Doctor (UK) and they activated my controller to their DJI FPV drone & goggles at their establishment and problems sorted! They charged me their min repair charge and overnight return delivery was £20 total. Controller 2 now works with the sims :-). Excellent service

Holy crap. I had the OTG cable at the wrong side.... I uninstalled/reinstalled the app about 20 times, clearing cache, making new profiles and all along, it was the cable. FFS. 😅 I'm sure the first time I connected it was at the phone end..... Obviously not. Thanks dude. 👍

Just wanted to mention that it is super important that the DJI OTA dongle goes INTO THE GOOGLEs first, then connect it to the phone via a regular USB-C data cable. If you put the DJI dongle on the phone-end of the connection, it will NOT work. Cost 2 hours of my life...

Thanks, I was almost bald from pulling my hair out this past week, and I started the week with more hair than ELVIS! I tried this several times unsuccessfully and found that I needed a proper USB-C Data (3.1 Gen2?) cable connected with the special adapter to get the activation to work with my Ipad Pro 11" and goggles. Now everything is all activated and happy and now I'm free to get nauseous getting used to the goggles, LOL!

Our first one could be activated easily on day 1 before it crashed. The second one arrived on friday and was a mess to activate somehow but your 3 hours live stream had solved it ... so thanks a lot. Regarding motion stick or how it is called: we did not like it all but it might be false to judge it as RC guy cause the judgement will be quite the opposite and really appreciated in this case: our wifes came along with a cup of coffee and for some reason we thought why not give such stick into the hands of a unbiassed newbie or at least someone who is not that happy about model RC all around the roof . We started that journey without fpv goggles on, so we did the take off and put in the brake then we handed the stick over and explained the usage without goggles on .. and from there it took up cause they asked for goggles to fly more away and to play with the controls basic features till even my wife asked for a flight and so things start to evolve in the second they * felt safe to fly * safe to control * in fully control of the craft based on fpv It is a total different story since then ... for us, the guys, cause we suddenly had been asked again when we will go to the model air strip again to fly the fpv drone . Hard to explain somehow cause they had watched the drone content we had taken in the past and they at least liked it or tried to find out where the drone had been ... over the city , countryside or woods. All those videos got a tiny attention - compared to the 5 or 8 minutes of giving them the control and explaining the basics with such stick cause the feel safe to fly the drone the way they wanted to fly (without need for help). Aftermath: we tried the same but this time my wife got a Mavic 2 with an RC controller. After first 2 or 3 movements on the sticks her interest was blown away with a single comment "overcomplicated" and she asked for the new one that I do not own so we had to ask my buddy. I guess it becomes expensive cause I might need to buy one even though I do not want one (for me). Hard to tell if the motion stick is worth the money but if not you can flip it easily and do not loose much money. Having a stick means being able to hand over the control to someone new and that helps to find a new flyer in the family like a daughter or wife or parent, people from the outside. That might be the target audience but I guess it is tough to find first time drone buyer that will spend 1.500€ for drone and stick. Our 80 year old dads were also happy about the easyness of "progress or success" to move such object in the air without much fear to loose control or hesitation to damage it. I would say I do not like the motion stick - for me, but I can recommand it for first time buyers and flyers due to the intuitiveness and therefore steep learning curve. Might be good to get new people into the RC hobby especially women that used to stay away from rc modells cause they fear to damage or crash our toys ...

Just a note which may help others continuingly getting an 'Update Failure' when downgrading to V00.05.1086. My v2 goggles were split from a kit and when i first tried this activation technique, it just kept repeatedly failing at various percentages of download. In order to make it work, first you need to upgrade to V01.01.0000, only then will V00.05.1086 become a DOWNGRADE button, then you can downgrade and continue on with this guide. Hope this helps others in my situation.

Hello, Don't know if this method is still functional up to date It won't allow me to connect with the DJI_aftersales account My V2 goggles weren't showing voltage anymore in fpv mode so i tried to refresh firmware, now i'm stuck out of the fpv mode (for a 5" with air unit, not DJI fpv drone) If someone can help out that would be much appreciated ;) thank you !

Funny thing DJI never gave me a usb C connection in the box. Wonder what happened there. But thankfully got it all resolved due to a backup android phone. Cheers ❤

I struggle to believe that this is easier than building your own quad. (And yes, I acknowledge that your viewpoint may differ)

In the DJI assistant on the update page there is only two firmware options the latest and the one before that how do I find the old firmware that I need to activate?

For those who are still having troubles and you normally connect your phone to your internet via wi-fi: Try moving the drone and the hand controller further away. say the back porch. then bring the phone and the headset and stand right next to your router. this will allow connection, updates, etc. The theory is that the drone video transmitter is overpowering your home wi-fi, preventing the phone from connecting to the internet. Maybe a future firmware version will put the vtx in "pit mode" during updates?

Hey da. This won’t work period if you don’t have a dji drone. Can you read?

Oops, I had the OTG adapter in the wrong end - I'm used to plugging it into my phone for mice and keyboards and such, but I guess here it's needed to make the goggles act as the master...which is a bit odd to me, because they'd never normally act as a slave device, right? Either way, it paired, now waiting for goggles battery to charge. Thanks for the instructions!

I stupidly threw out my OTG dongle adapter for my replacement FPV drone, am I SOL? Would a replacement work? Or any DJI OTG cable?

thank you kind british man

Thank you so much! The freaking cable that is shipped with a $1,000 plus drone can only charge the device. Spent days thinking my Galaxy Note 10 wasn't compatible with my new drone.

Question, I have the FPV drone combo. When trying to activate, do you have to have drone, controller and goggles on to connect to you DJI Fly app?
