Is it necessary to remove the camera module before flashing ?

Hi,
If you want to flash using Wifi, you need to disconnect the camera and flashing using the onboard ESP. If not you wont be able to flash. You could still flash using the USB port, but that is slightly complex.

Thank you, can you tell me how to flash using USB port. I tried but it always shows this – “Please restart and reconnect the drone.” I tried doing this but still doesn’t work.

Hi,
In order to flash your drone, you need to first take it to flashing mode. This is done as follows for USB:
1. Switch off the drone.
2. Connect the USB port of PC.
3. Connect the USB port to the Drone
4. Switch on the drone.
5. If the drone has entered flashing mode, then you will not see the LED booting sequence that you generally due during normal boot.

Thank you! When the drone has entered the flashing mode, then do I see any different LED sequence ?
