@@JoseRodriguez-mv1ox have you tried the flash? What is happening to your drone?
@@chevid9015are the files safe for my computer?
this is working in 100% 2022 October !! my drone is flying like a bird now !!!!
The main issue for mine drone that it doesn’t recognize the gimbal. Before I can fix that nothing will happens. Is it any way to restore the drone body?
Hello sir, are are you still flying your karma drone /I'm trying to get mine going/2/24/23 my computer says suspicious site not safe
Holy smokes! This and that first video worked. I didnt need to do the flash. Its 2024 now. Hopefully this continues to work for people.
Greatly appreciated to all that worked through these bugs and shared the findings. I was able to update the Karma firmware to 2.5. Now I just have to update the GPS.
How?
Thank you so much
Why my gimbal and camera didn't initiate ? But My drone core is on
Thanks for the detailed explanation!! greetings from France
Greetings to you! Thanks for watching!
@@chevid9015 hi! Can you help me pls? My drone and all components are up to date now.
But! Drone getting only rately GPS signal, and no Accelerator and compas step2 calibration possible.
Do you know how i can calebrate it?
@@now6942 try reflashing and going through several cycles of turning it off and recalibrating outside. Some models do this and I’m thinking it’s the ones that got the last bad file from go pro.
@@chevid9015 Hi, you mean, reflash the controller? if yes to which version? i have the drone with gopro7
@@now6942 2501 is the correct file. When updating your camera make sure to use the appropriate software for your model.
can anyone help me set up from like scratch. I got the karma at an estate sale so i dont even know if it ever flew or if it is updated. second it did not have a camera so i purchased a gopro hero 6 black from offer up. and i factory reset the camera and now im lost. any help would be so appreciated
Thanks for the vid.
Although my drine was flying, an issue i had was unable to sign into my gopro account as I was on the 2.5.0 formware.
I used your method to flash the 2.5.1 firmware. That seems to get me in.
The only issue i now have is that the maps on my controller dont work. 😢
SOLO MODO EXPERTO? SIN GPS FUNCIONA? GRACIAS
Could you please share the final88.img file again? plase
Drone wont power itself off so I cant progress to the next step.
Hi. You said to manually change the finall88 file into tye dumpsystem2501. You mean to manually rename the finall88 to dumpsystem2501 or leave the finall88 as is BUT instead of typing final88 in the command powershell, to typw the dumpsystemv2501?
Hi chevid. I have 2x karma drones with paring issues. Yet no matter how i try to flash the 2 kontrollers and get 2501 update it cant pair the update works. No issues. I vi done donovans method but the best way is bozmanx method.
CheVid, glad I could be a small part of the solution
Couldn’t have done it without that file! 🤘🏻
I was able to upgrade to 2.5, but now my controller freezes on the welcome screen after boot. Any help would be greatly appreciated
You may have missed a sequence in the windows program step. Maybe try rebooting or going through that step again.
Edit: I posted some new extra material in the comment section.
legend, thx for this vid. I followed along the whole vid, including the other vids, the new software on my karma controller has made it very laggy and glitchy, I have to keep turning it on and off bc it continues to freeze. I was thinking of reinstalling the software but am unsure if this will make any difference? any recommendations, thanks
You can try reflashing to the old version and back to 2501. I find these controllers to be pretty finnicky and glitchy out of the box. A couple of the drones we have been able to get flying again only work if the drone is turned on before the controller, etc. Since go pro dropped the program we can probably expect glitchy functioning until someone can get a newer version out there that continues the update process correctly.
Hi, if you are still interested I managed to get my karma flying again and had the same issues with laggy controller. Here's what I did:
- Started from v.1.1 (drone was in the wardrobe for 6 years, never used), couldn't do anything from that point.
- Tried different software from all videos, most of them very laggy or not even starting, except v.1.4 (from Bozmanx video).
- Reflashed with v1.4.
- Restored to factory settings.
- Paired the drone and connected to wifi (open network since I couldn't connect to secured one).
- Reflashed to v2.50.1 - very laggy but I've been trying again and again to click on updates in the corner.
- Updated the controller and still was very laggy. Tried again and again to update drone and stabiliser.
- Once it was done, I reflashed to v1.4, which was stable for me and update of the controller was available in the top right corner.
- Updated the controller and everything works now.
Took me 3 days to go through all that.
Hope it helps anyone who is still struggling.
does anyone have the 2.50.1 firmware update they could send to me so i can try and get ny 2 drones flying again
Excuse me, can you upload the file .img? Final88.img? Please let me know. The original is not working (the link)
Did you ever get your karma back up and flying again if not let me know I’m doing repairs
Did you ever happen to figure out the stabilizer issue where the drone powers on but the stabilizer is not turned on?
I went through the manual updates for each component and was able to get everything back to where it was operable after downloading the “bad” update from GoPro again. I’m beginning to think that some of these drones had different internal components that led some to not be able to operate ever again after the update. As I have one karma that will not connect or pair after doing my method. I still believe go pro should step up and replace those drones that are still having the issue.
May have a fix for this issue. I’ll update if so. Thanks
Same
I’m doing karma repairs if you haven’t already got it figured out
When i turn my drone on the gimbal and camera wont turn on and in pairing mode powerbutton blinking blue suddenly flashes red
I'm having this issue on both of my Karma drones, any updates?
How’s it going I just wanted to reach out and let you guys know that I’m doing karma repairs for people that can’t get there’s up and flying again
@@TheBeast_Blake no changes 🥲
@@TheBeast_Blakereally
Are you really @@TheBeast_Blake
Any ideas for solutions if I can’t get past Gavin’s pairing fix? My drone won’t turn off by itself like it does in Gavin’s pairing fix video. I’m guessing this process won’t work if I can’t get past that part, right?
I have had 1 drone do exactly what you are saying. I continued through my process and did the Gavin pairing at the end. These things are finicky. Sometimes a controller reset or a reset of the drone gets them going through the process. 11/12 drones flying again. The one I couldn’t get to fly again ended up having a bad gps sensor. Good luck!
It still wouldn’t pair after flashing the controller :/ I think it has something to do with the stabilizer too, it’s not being recognized by the drone
@@carterp6876 do you have the karma grip? I haven’t ran into a stabilizer not functioning. Does the camera power on at all when on the drone?
@@chevid9015 I do have the grip and the stabilizer works just fine in the grip. And no the camera doesn’t turn on when the drone turns on
@@carterp6876 and after flashing were you able to update all the components through the controller? Don’t sign into go pro through the controller once you get it updated. Should be able to update without signing in. Has the stabilizer ever worked on your drone? I’m looking into it today as to what your problem could be. I’m sure you have tried, but take the camera out and power on/off and then put it back in and start it.
I wish you weren’t that far from home to be able to send you mine for checking! It was a textbook malfunction. Stored it for too long. Despite charging the batteries monthly it started turning on by itself. Yesterday it wouldn’t even stabilize the camera. It used to fly with the Hero4 and I have the gimbal for the Hero7. Both cameras are up to date. The controller is up to date but not the rest. Cannot get past the pairing mode.
Any luck getting yours to fly?
@@chevid9015 No luck no one seems to care or having the wherewithal to fix it!
Just reposted my contact in my about section. Pm me
I@@chevid9015 I am stuck also. Cannot seem to pair. Controller says updated both it doesn't recognize the other 3.
hi, can you help me i need final88 image file. unfortunately, under the video "How to Reflash GoPro Karma Controller" the link no longer works. can you share this file with me. Thanks
Final88 will not work on the drone reflash. Make sure you are using the 2501 file on bozmanx video. I’m not sure where you can get the link for final88 image as it has never worked for me.
If I understand correct, you addressed 2 issue? Paring first and then GPS lock? Is that correct? TIA
Most just need the flash, but those that are having pairing issues can benefit from doing that first. I’m trying to reproduce the issue with the stabilizer not pairing that someone else was having, but other than that it should get yours flying again.
@@chevid9015 Mine missed the GPS update and now cannot update. So I have the Calibration Error. Controller has version 2.50. So do you think this flash to 2.5.1 will fix that?
@@muyfelices it’s worth trying if you haven’t before. Make sure you factory reset your controller before flashing, like in my video.
@@chevid9015 One last question…is you were to buy a used non working Karma, would you purchase one with GPS Calibration issue, or Non Pairing? 0.0
@@muyfelices gps calibration probably. Once they are flying they lock on to gps and will self correct. You can force them to take off while they are acquiring gps. I would say pairing but I have yet to figure out why some of the stabilizers aren’t pairing or working.
Is there a way to override a no fly zone ?
If you are near an airport, there is not. You will definitely get a visit from someone if you somehow get it flying in a restricted fly zone. Good luck!
Thank you for this. I have 1 question I must be missing a step I was able to update to 250.1 my controller and the stabilizer updated but the drone and camera keep failing, I reconnected to Wi-Fi and was able to sign in to my go pro account any help would be greatly appreciated.
How’s it going today if you haven’t had any luck yet repairing your karma I’m doing repairs for people to help get them back in the air
@@TheBeast_Blake i was able to get it to work but I put it away it is now giving me a gps error and will not take off
@@stevenstratton9767 I didn’t see your message back until this morning I can do the manual update on the karma then everything should work like new if interested let me know so far I have helped get around 12 back in the air
It needs the boot image on the drone reflashed on the pc
Sorry I forgot to let you know I’m doing repairs if you are interested im doing manual updates and reflashing the bootloader image and then everything works like new let me know if interested thanks for your time
Could you help me with the final88.img file, I can't download it
Did you have any luck getting the karma back in the air if not I’m doing repairs for people who are having issues trying to get them fixed
All the info is great. I've tried with no success at trying to reflash my controller. I keep getting error messages. Any way that I could send it to you and have you reflash it?
I posted some updates in the info section. Try one of those. If that’s not the issue respond on this thread and we can go from there. Thanks
How’s it going today if you haven’t already got your karma drone up and running let me know I’m doing repairs for people
It seems that it is the drone itself not the controller as the stabilizer and camera do not initiate when turned on. That does not require the controller to be on for them to initiate. There is loss of communication and power in the usb-c port from the drone to the stabilizer and camera.
Cual es la solucion? Me pasa lo mismo
Working on a drone currently with this issue and may have it resolved. Will post an update if that’s the case. Thanks
@chevid9015 That would be great if you could solve that issue. Fingers crossed
@@chevid9015same issue with me
@@chevid9015 is there any way to solve this
So did they just brick all of our drones?? I have not flown mine in a while, I had a pesky morning dove that sits on my chimney waking my kids up in the morning. I have a 3 level home and wanted to see before climbing on the roof if the bird was still up there. My drone just wont pair anymore... WTH?
I’m doing repairs if you still need it fixed
Dang birds lol
@@TheBeast_Blake it’s still bricked
@@viper306m that’s a bummer their is a fix if you are interested I’m doing repairs for people and I’m in the USA and the guy who figured all this out is in Australia there is a you channel the karma pairing fix some people can do it and some can’t so if you would like me to fix it just let me know thank you for your response
when i power on the drone the stabiliser doesnt initiate and the camera doesnt turn on , most of the time i cant even turn off the drone at this point u till i remove a battery.
mu case was a bit sifferent , first i couldnt i itiate my stabiliser then i unpaired them hoping to fix sth and i never paired it again afterwards
This is the case for me as well. No go
Same here
I’m working on a drone at the moment that has this issue. I may have it resolved and will post a new video if that’s the case. Thank you
Hi have you already resolved the issue. I'm facing exactly the same here. Hoping u could share some light here. Tq
Could you fix it?
@@chevid9015
I’m willing to pay to have mine fixed. I’m in LA. The Quik desktop app sees my camera, but not my karma grip. I have two karma grips. One works fine and doesn’t give me the required update message on my camera and the other does. I downloaded the update file to my SD card and it never showed a check mark showing it finished nor did it say it failed. Seems like none of the fixes are working for me 😢
It's actually the chip that's the problem. The flash memory. It needs to be replaced. That's how they fixed mine. It took about two months. But now it connects and flies again. Look for someone in your city who repairs drones and can re-solder this chip.
@@MAESTRObyBEAR I’ll have to check again. Sounds tough if it took two months! I literally just bought a DJI drone yesterday
@@Jayscuba It took two months mostly to track down and supply parts. In addition, the first ones that came were defective. And another important note. GoPro Karma should be turned on more often. It needs to work. And when the drone is lying idle for a long time and it had this problem. DJI drones are good. But the GoPro Karma has its own twist. It is different from the Mavic in flight and control.
Du kannst sie jetzt auch selber reparieren
@@heikoklein487 No. I don't do repairs myself. I gave it to the master's workshop.
so, if my drone just hitting the end of life on its memory, there is nothing anyone can do to get the drone working again as any operation required an error-free memory space that my unit no longer have available, correct?
like a bad usb stick that is not accessible and keep freezes the computer or something similar right?
great video btw, thanks for sharing :)
Thank you, I recommend clearing out the memory on your camera prior to reflashing. Some take several flashes and reboots to work. Good luck
Could i send you my drone and have you attempt to fix it in exchange for compensation?

@@chevid9015 i do not see any contact info i looked is there any way to send to you and compensate you for your services to get this done
I have a hero 7 white will this work for it?
It should work the same. Just download the appropriate update for that model camera from go pro and follow the rest step by step.
I meant with the drone sadly I have already discovered this cam don't even go to the karma drone . Lol. And I bought it through offer up so no returns. Boooo.
How do I know if the Karma I have is the old or new one? They seem to look exactly the same. I acquired mine through an estate sale so I'm lost with this whole ordeal. But I want to fly it.
@@mlplives4thecalm the karma should be compatible up to the go pro 7. They changed a lot on the 8 and it is not compatible.
There is really no way to tell which ones will fly and which ones won’t. They are great drones when they work and only really lack the follow me and object avoidance tech that are on the new dji models. I’m about to start accepting drones again to rebuild. If you can’t get it flying, keep me posted. Thanks
@@chevid9015 The gimbal has the two plugs in it and the go pro does not have anything to plug into . Unless there is a gumball that fits the seven and the karma .
It didn't ask me for my sn
can you upload the flash tool thanks

Why won't GoPro just come out with a fix? Sounds like they grounded all the Drones on purpose????
Spoke with support today. They said the contract with the developer of the firmware has expired.
@Tim Seddon Thanks Tim. So it sounds like thier going to do nothing about this problem??
Unfuckingbelievable!!
not working at all. not pairing
Remember to always turn the drone on first! Log out of go pro and keep Wi-Fi off when it says to. Try different flash versions and go back to 2501.
Clip at minute 13:03. So when I took the 2.50.1 file in the folder, I have to change the second command from … final88. image to dumpsystemv2501.image? Is it correct?
Correct. Manually change the command on power shell.
