FCC HACK 2022 UPDATE - HOW TO FIX BAD RANGE
czcams.com/video/x2WNHrnUU5A/video.html
you have so many useful videos, great job mate!
a true mastermind you are
Thank you for your help!!! Happy flying!
A Legend this Man is.
Thanks for your clear tutorials. I still got the FCC hack done with most recent DJI FLY app both with Jailbroken IOS(Cydia app akLocationX) and Android(Fake GPS). I Initially struggled testing after the process because engines didn't start indoors due to lack of light and no gps(It was midnight). Unlocking gps would mean that i should have connected my IOS device losing the 11 channels.
Later i realized VPS system was disabled due to lack of light so just adding some light meant that engines started and i could connect the device. FCC mode was still there with normal CE location. Today i tested outside and followed your sequence successful.
Thanks for the tip. Love your channel.
Great content and great videos. Thank you very much , keep going.
Fantastic information Henrik. I have saved this video as it is great to have the 11 channel functionality 😉
Ok ... So I already covered how to switch for both Mavic Mini and Mavic Air 2 in my previous comment :P
Actually don't make people confused ... You are doing 1.0.8 installation and I already explained the 0 version for Mini is 1.0.6 and for the Air 2 is 1.1.10 ... Simply you forgot to explain to the people that it is better to use another Android device (compatible of course and without DJI Fly App installed previously) to not screw up your DJI logs if you have any DJI care refresh and in case need to use it ... And I learned it on my own following your first video for FCC hack ... Just started trying the same for the Air 2 and I did it with Air 2 as well ;)
Thank you man, from fist video i learn how to hack is not problem at all.
yes, about 200-300 meters is correct. Better with range boosters and in non-urban areas. Thx for your content!
Awesome video. Your a great hacker ha very well explained 👍
Very nice, thx a lot.
What futures do we missed if we use the 1.1.3 version that still support FCC?
Great news haha, im back. Sorry wasn't on many video comments. Amazing video now that im in europe, im gonna use many of these hacks haha. Moved from canada to russia woah.
Glad to see you back
Yet again, another interesting informative video. Quick question, will this hack work with the Mavic Air 2, obviously the Air 2 uses occusinc not WIFI..
In general, I don't fly my mini far enough away to need this but it interesting to know it is possible. I like to see my drone when filming and I don't waste battery going out and back by flying this way. Of course there may come time when for whatever reason this is not possible so thanks for posting this.
THANK YOU LEGEND!
Thank´s- it work´s! Now, i´m waiting for my holiday in kenia for testing ;-)
awsome video d you think you could try find out if theres some work around to get this to work on the new mini 2 my ranges sucks lucky to get 300m in middle of rural new zealand yet says 6 to 10km on box
One question, sometimes when the controller is connected to the phone and the drone is turned on on the floor it will ask to you to do a IMU compass calibration, how can you do it if you can't connect the the controller to the phone when the drone is landed?
Will this work for Dji Mavic Air 2?
Do I need to do this when using Litchi too?
i saw also your Spark FCC mode video..sir, your videos make me happy, soo smart..*Now, I have Mavic Air 2 .. Help, how can I get FCC on my M. Air 2 ? thank in advance .. Very good work keep up the good work :]
A review of FPV glasses flying with a Mavic Mini!? Thanks
it works!
Would this hack also work in Thailand where the range seems to be even less than the UK?
Is another option to get a signal booster for the antenna?
Looks like loopholes are fixed. 1.0.8 doesn't start on any of my phones. Neither does any before 1.1.4.
Same 1.0.8 doesn't start
As far as i know you need phone with android 11 or lower
i just want to try it, but i still love my CE
Older app versions of Dji fly can’t be installed. So there is no fcc mode available. In Athens, greece can’t even fly downtown above 25m..
I wonder about mini 3 with or without smart controller and if the slow GPS acquisition by covering the drone is enough to keep it in the fcc mode
is there any hardware difference between fcc n ce version?
Hi!
Do you know if an FCC controller will work with an European mavic mini 1? I broke my controller and got a used FCC controller, however I can’t pair them. Any suggestions to what I can do?
Awesome job, keep up the great content. I've learned many things from your videos, thanks.
Hi is your latest video with patch app working on mini se? On latest firmware
on my IOS Fly app there are no frequenties to check , only a blockdiagram and signal distortions, but it also works on ios only then you can see if you are in FCC when the 1 KM line is on 85% and in CE Mode the 1 km line stands on 95%
I have to ask, as Can not find any data on this online, and hacks are not my preferred way as the limitation is hardware based. Can one purchase a remote for FCC (US, asia, etc) and use it with the mavic mini CE version, or the mini itlself also sucks signal wise?
Ty in advance
Bel video completo !
Hi .
Yes this hack works not sure how much it gives me as I'm using a ce drone but yes it works
Is there a big ditto you I have a mini in CE mode and imna bit afraid to mess with it tbh
Henrik, any way to come passed the download error of the old versions of the app?
Does this work for mini 2? In india altitude is limited to 15mtr how do I change it.
Works for me. One question: what if i will ever need to calibrate the compass? How will I know and how will I perform it?
You need to do do it normally and redo the instructions
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA Thanks for the quick response! My point is: will the drone take off, with no phone connected, if the compass needs calibration? I'm worried I'll never know if it needs calibration since it will be in the air the I plug the phone
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA does RTH still work if you do this?
even this video didnt work, what is the firmware virsion on the mini ?, found the issue the firmware on the mini has to be downgraded to 0400 via the dji assistant app before it works
Brilliant video, I was wondering, does this also work with the DJI Air 2s?
No because because the dji air 2s has occusync and the occusync drones can switch between CE and FCC even while the drone is airborne if you want to force your air 2s to switch to FCC you will need a hack.
I tried it today, and it really works ! But when i land to change battery i completly forgot to hover and disconnect the phone!
what if use always airplane mode do we need to disconnect the phone before landing?
Best hack..self build or get a yuneec..simple. great video though 👍🏽
I’ve downloaded the FCC app and installed it. There’s one thing I do t understand. I’ve watched the drone tweaks vid and I’ve watched others.
I can’t tell if I’m in FCC mode as the line at 90 doesn’t line up with the bar and the 100 line is below the line.
I’m not sure if I’m in that FCC mode how do I tell if i’am. Thank you and thanks for another great video
Did you compare the flight time and remote control battery usage between modes? I think FCC mode will drain the remote's battery quicker, but how much?
I get over 25 min flight time on my FCC version. Mine is almost new too.
How can I enable fcc mode on my dji mini SE drone
Thanks for the great video, it is very helpful but may I ask, can I download the fake gps location app in iOS, or is there any solutions to do it in iOS, thank you.
Still works? Are other drones easier to get in FCC. Really fed up with poor range in UK
The fcc mode can also be set to Iphone?
Is this a possible Mini 2 FCC hack as well, @techdronemedia ?
Hej thanks for all your videos :), im in Denmark and I'm using Mavic air 2 but I couldn't instal the app network error on ur video is 6:06
Thanks again :)
work ?? in this time?? i have a mini se model ce
I've got an FCC version (present from a friend in the US) and only iPhone. What options are there for fake GPS without android? Currently my drone is almost unusable due to range and interference issues... btw, your channel is amazing and learning a lot from you. :-)
You could try the following:
In settings>transmission, select manual, select the wifi channel that has the lowest green bar
Put your phone into aircraft mode (this will reduce interference)
This gave me better range but your milage may vary
You could also invest in a yagi antenna (2.4ghz version) and or a parabolic reflector that slots over your stock antenna. You will need to be pointing your remote directly at the mini to maintain connection
I hope this helps
hey there and thanks for making this. i havent tried it yet, but im asking about the fake app id, while its on , i cant use the navigation app off course 😉, is there any way to keep it local or the only way ia to pause the fake id app?
Only way is to disable
please do a video for dji mini se...pleaseeee !
I’ve used my iPhone 6 since launch with great success, I’m now using a Samsung Galaxy and the Android version of Fly is terrible, laggy, loss of connection... can’t believe the difference between platforms
Is there any fcc hack for dji mini 2 plz???
we need this for the dji Avata
Hi, I secceeded to install dji fly version 1.0.8 but when launching the app is get an error " retrieving resource file failed....". Also tried version 1.1.2 getting the same result - ANY IDEA?
same here.. anyone else?
This is not working anymore. Old dji fly apps are not starting anymore.... any other options ?
me 2
Thats my problem to
I live in EU. Once this hack is done, what empty channel should I pick? 2.4 Ghz or 5.8 Ghz?
Congrats for the excellent video ! I made a mistake and I bought a Mini 2 CE version despite the fact that I live in a country that FCC is allowed. Can use this hack in my drone ? Thanks.
It does not have enough power, you will get a little improvement but not as much as the real FCC drone
But it is the same hardware no matter from where you are buying the dji mini 2.
Is the CE hobbling of the power in the DJI Fly app, or the Mini controller or the drone itself?
They have separate hardware FCC or CE
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA Thanks so much. I'm thinking of buying a controller from the USA. Will the CE drone work with that? And will the US controller be hobbled by the software knowing it's working in the UK? Sorry to ask such questions but it's a really interesting area.
And by the way, one important use for the Yagi aerials for DJI is that they can be used on the aerials of wifi transmitters and receivers to boost range connecting wifi between buildings . . .
Can somebody pls help me with the following: i have a fcc mini, how can i check if i have a fcc or ce mode? My dji app say 12 channels...
Hi from Macedonia 🇲🇰
I tried to falow your steps,when I press download app on my phone,my phone shows me,,your download is starting....
But nothing happened,I tried many times
Hi, just tried on version 1.1.2 and it works! Just when i minimize the fly app, i noticed the icon of fake gps running on the background. do i need to always run fake gps when running the dji fly app to preserve the hack?
yes
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA Noted Thank you
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA but if you switch back to your stock gps, when starting the app it’s not gonna ask you to re switch to CE mod as with DJI go4? And then pressing cancel to keep it in fcc? It will switch back without asking ?
For Xiaomi what i must do to appears developer options???
i don't install the program. after APK start: "retreiving resource file failed. etc...". Maybe the DJI remove this files. Not correct
I have had 900 mtrs no problem uk mode plenty far enough
how to air 2?
Henrik - thanks for sharing ... Mine is an FCC version within a EU zone country. Notice the transmission power is lowered so not able to get full range beyong 2 kms - although recently tested and got approx. 2 kms with parabolic antennas with patchy video. Meantime, wondering if the Fake GPS as shown in the setup procedure under APK 1.08 - if we need to switch off the data connection on the phone as well ?? What's the Drone Firmware you used and do you know if it also needs to be rolled back ?? and if so ... (how ?) Cheers
I used the latest firmware
Wanted to confirm the Hack worked on my FCC Mini in EU country using firmware mentioned and with the latest aircraft firmware. Also RTN was ok even with fake GPS on at a US location. But it Felt strange not being able to do compass cal bcoz drone is in flight when phone is connected. Results were before hack 500 - 700 meters at 70 meters height ... after hack 2000 meters at 70 meters height. Must remember to disconnect controller just before landing. Later tried fresh start up with mobile connected to see if it preserved setting but NO it didn’t and software automatically downloaded an update from Mobile Data to make setting conform back to the EU setting meaning reduce radio transmission strength and range. BTW for those worried about RTN location.... In the app you can update this during the flight to the current location which should ensure your drone flys back to where you are. Hope this helps !
@@pererichsen6528 Thanks a lot lot the details. you answered all my questions.
Hvad med en hack til mini 3 pro den med skærm
DJI fly 1.1.2 works and I believe it does on 1.1.3 too. I think it got patched on 1.1.4
Does this hack work with the Dji Mavic Air 2?
So the 1.1.3 version, what stuff do we miss from the latest update?
Funy apk mirror dont have anymore 1.1.3, i download 1.1.2
I did all steps but when i check the transmission after its still in 5.8ghz and still 13 channels?
One question ... how about the return to home then? Does the drone then fly to the point where the fake GPS point is set?
That is my question too
Yes.... Search for the comment made by @Per Erichsen
not working anymore , doesen't download the database , error donwloading , check connection , i've tryed over WIFI and over DATA , and same error :(
So if I already have a FCC drone, it will be better in CE area or do I still have to do this ?
the drone throttles the power in CE area
app 1.0.8 Force close
Thanks a lot sir u did a really great help.
Does the FCC hack compromise the functionality of the RC controller and Mini 3 Pro?
No but I’m not sure it will work on mini 3 pro
jeg bor i dk og har en full fcc model købt i USA. Jeg har ramt 5,1 km med den. (med hack) det er vildt.
Hi Henrik, if after doing the hack my transmission shows 11 channels and not 13 does this mean it is working. I am in Europe on CE version thanks
Watch the video again...
dji dont let you to install so older version ...
My mini is a CE version in Southern Africa. It doesn't show 5.8ghz channels, only 11 channels, not 13 just 11. Does this mean it's permanently in fcc mode?
No there is a bug in 1.1.9
ive flown mine 1700 feet high with very little disruption to signal
Hello, for some reason any older app i download just keeps crashing on my phone?
Me too
does not work for me :-( maybe I have boost mode from drone-hacks.com preinstalled ?
Can someone please tell me which fake gps app i can download from the Apple store?
I'm reading lots of discussions that the hack does not change the frequency and it does not achieve anything as the FCC has different hardware that CE model I would to know the actual answer to who is correct
Hello sir new subscriber here, is this also applicable for dji mini se sir? Thank you...
Hi , great video , is this hack possible with Mavic air 2 ???
I don’t have a Mavic Air 2
Klappt leider nicht mehr mit der Version 1.0.8
Der Support dafür wurde bestimmt abgestellt oder geblockt
If you do this hack does your drone still have the ability to Return to home??
Yes it’s the GPS in the drone that knows to home position
You can lock the FCC with litchi beta for mavic mini, so you dont need pull out the cable before flying
That's interesting. So, what is the process when using the Litchi app ?
Do you set the FCC hack with the phone unplugged first ?
What's the process ?
First use fake gps, change transmission to FCC use dji fly 1.1.2, when completed, shutdown all, turn on again use litchi without pull out the cable, litchi will lock the FCC although MM use local GPS, is it for android only, not for iOS
Tks
Is this just for the mini? Can it be for the spark? And perhaps mavic air 2?
In principle yes but range and stability should be an issue with Air 2 because of occusync
There are modded apps available for iPhone that make the fake gps method obsolete and that work for both Air 2 and the Spark.
