DJI Super-Patcher 1.7.5

*For unlocking height limits, NFZ limits, Galileo Satellites, fixed fcc and boost + more for DJI Aircraft.

1.7.5 UPDATES

Added Inspire 2 support for the V01.02.0200 firmware that has been verified working
All online versions of 1.7 will update automatically at runtime
Minor fixes

Other recent updates

Fixed an issue with the P4P flight controller that did not have all NFZ zones disabled. Whoops...
Minor fixes
- Downgraded version of adb hoping for better universal support
- Fixed visual issue where cmd window would not size large enough to view entire line
- Fixed issue where Super Tools folder would not delete at runtime

-Added error logging for adb commands. If user indicates super-Patcher wasnt sucessfull the errorlog file will be generated and deposited in the main Super-Patcher folder

Super-Patcher now supports the following aircraft and firmwares:

Mavic Pro V01.04.0300
Spark V01.00.0900
Phantom 4 Pro V01.05.0600
Phantom 4 standard V2.00.0700
Phantom 4 advanced V1.00.0128
Phantom 4 ProV2 V01.00.1500
Inspire 2 V01.02.0200

OBJECTIVE SUMMARY

This package is for installing a custom flight controller for:

Mavic Pro or Mavic Pro Platinum running a 100% stock version of the v01.04.0300 firmware.
Spark running a 100% stock version of the v01.00.0900 firmware.
Phantom 4 Professional running a 100% stock version of the v1.05.0600 firmware.
Phantom 4 advanced running a 100% sotock version of the v1.00.0128 firmware.
Phantom 4 Standard running a 100% stock version of the v2.00.0700 firmware.
Phantom 4 ProV2 running a 100% stock version of the V01.00.1500 firmware.
Inspire 2 running a 100% stock version of the V01.02.0200

The purpose of this project is to enable even the most technically challenged among us the ability to be liberated from the limitations imposed by DJI and reap the benefits of the other features enabled by the FC_Patcher project https://github.com/o-gs/DJI_FC_Patcher by Matioupi.

Super-Patcher works differently than other methods for unlocking firmware. It is not a mixed firmware mod. Super-Patcher works by modifying the stock flight controller module already installed on your aircraft. This means you retain a cohesive single firmware version on your bird without the complications that occur with mixed firmware mods. This ability to change the actual firmware itself means that new capabilities are unlocked. Super-Patcher has been tested and verified you can trust that it has been proven but you still use at your own risk.

BENEFITS SUMMARY

*(PLEASE READ THE DETAILED LIST THAT FOLLOWS AS WELL)

Remove height limitations
Remove NFZ and GeoZone limits
Enable Galileo satellite reception
No motors errors on Mavic Pro Platinum
Does NOT require an internal SD card be installed
Precision RTH and Precision Landing will work normally
Optionally enable slower more cinematic panning (yaw) speed
Optionally enable full time FCC or boost mode with jkson_fcc_mod by jkson5 built in (Mavic and P4PV2 Only)

Please carefully read through the through explanation of the benefits below. Directions to get started will follow

Features of Super-Patcher

Remove height limitations by default

There is nothing additional the user needs to do to enable this feature and it is always enabled.
As soon as the Super-Patcher process is complete the drone will ignore ALL height limitations even if set by the user in DJI Go 4.

-Even though the user is able to enter a value in for height limit in DJI Go 4, the drone WILL NOT obey this hight limit command.
- Please fly with caution!
This is not optional and is hard-coded into the firmware. There will be no height limit parameters visable in Assistant 2
To enable height limits again would require uninstalling Super-Patcher which can be done simply by flashing to a stock firmware version
Please note that the height limit parameters in Assistant 2 1.1.2 in debug mode will NOT be visable beacuse they are hard-coded to the firmware. These parameters have been modified to disable height limit altogether even though they are not visable.

**It is always the responsibility of the pilot to fly safely and to know local regulations. **

Remove NFZ and GeoZone limits by default

There is nothing additional the user needs to do to enable this feature and it is always enabled.

As soon as the Super-Patcher process is complete the drone will ignore all forced GeoZone and NFZ limitations
- This is not an optional and is hard coded into the firmware.
Please note:
- GeoZones will still be marked in the app and the app will still warn you when the drone is close to or in an NFZ,
however…
- Your drone will not be prevented from flying
- Your drone will not be forced to auto-land.
- You drone will not be preventing from taking off
  - Please fly with caution!
The airport limit parameters are hard-coded and will not be visable in Assistant 2. Airport limits have already been disabled. These parameters have been modified to disable airport limits altogether even though they are not visable.

It is always the responsibility of the pilot to fly safely and to know local regulations.

Enable Galileo satellite reception by default

The drone will now connect to Galileo GPS satellites in addition to the satellites already available.This means you can expect to see a greater satellite count in the app and a stronger, more reliable, and more accurate GPS signal.
There is nothing additional the user needs to do to enable it and it is always enabled.
Typically you can expect to see your sat count at between 20-30 sats once they have all connected

Motors will restart when aircraft is inverted

By default the aircraft will allow the motors to be restarted even if the aircraft is inverted. This parameter is hardcoded and will not be visable in Assistant 2. One can remove the props and hold the aircraft upside down and then arm the motors with a CSC to verify this parameter is working.
Note: This also means the motors cannot be turned off by turning it upside down. When hand catching use the free hand to push down on the throttle stick (left stick in RC type 2) to turn off the motors when hand catching.

Does NOT require an internal SD card be installed

With older methods for unlocking, namely mixed firmware mods, the Mavic Pro Platinum and some more recently manufactured Mavic Pros required that the Mavic be opened and an internal SD card installed for other mods to work.
- NOT with Super-Patcher. Super-Patcher does NOT require an internal SD card because it is NOT a mixed firmware mod.

No motors errors on Mavic Pro Platinum

With older modification techniques, namely mixed firmware mods, the Mavic Pro Platinum will give motor errors due to not having the correct ESC modules for the upgraded MPP ESCs
Because Super-Patcher modifies the flight controller on v01.04.0300 firmware which has the correct ESC modules for Mavic Pro AND Mavic Pro Platinum there will be no motor errors and ESCs will work as designed

Precision RTH and Precision Landing are not affected and will work normally

With older methods for removing height limits and NFZ limits, namely mixed firmware mods, the precision RTH and precision landing features did not function as expected.
Because Super-Patcher is not a mixed firmware mod it does NOT affect these functions and so they will work as expected.

OPTIONAL FEATURES

Optionally customize parameters with Assistant 2 1.1.2 in debug mode

Just like any other firmware you can use Assistant 2 1.1.2 in debug modeto turn up the max speed parameters, enable ATTI mode, or virtually endless parameter modifications
For more information on some of the available parameter mods see howto:parameterhacks These are optional

Optionally enable slower more cinematic panning motions for more cinematic video.

Enables setting yaw speed to as low as 1 degree per second in any mode using Assistant 2 1.1.2 in debug modeor directly in DJI Go 4 for P-GPS mode to get much smoother and slower cinematic pans.
- By default yaw speeds are factory default
Each flight mode has its own yaw speed parameter that can be changed in Assistant 2 1.1.2 in debug mode. The value these parameters is in degrees per second

The parameters for yaw speed for each mode are:
- P-GPS mode with front OA sensors ON
```
g_config_avoid_cfg_avoid_tors_rate_range
```
- P-GPS mode with front sensors OFF
```
g_config_mode_normal_cfg_tors_gyro_range
```
- Sport Mode
```
g_config_mode_sport_cfg_tors_gyro_range
```
- Tripod mode
```
g_config_mode_tripod_cfg_tors_gyro_range
```
- Cinematic Mode
```
 CM_tors_range
```
These are optional

Optionally enable full time FCC or FCC boost mode with jkson_fcc_mod by jkson5

You will be asked if you'd like to enable jkson_fcc_mod if your aircraft supports it. Jkson_fcc_mod is only availible for Mavic Pro, Mavic Pro Platinum, Mavic Pro Artic White, and P4Pv2
Jkson mod also allows you to choose between "Auto frequency" (2.4 GHz), fixed 2.3 GHz, and fixed 2.5 GHz.
- I highly recommend choosing "Auto-frequency"
  - 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz might be better in 1% of cases but it is very rare and even if they do work better they are more likly to cut video feed without warning because they are fixed to a single channel.
You can learn more about jkson fcc mod by jkson5 at https://github.com/jkson5/jkson_fcc_mod
I am not the developer of this mod so questions about it are better directed to jkson5
It is included in Super-Patcher because it is a widely used mod and it shares dependancies with Super-Patcher so it made sense to include it for convenience

This is optional

PREREQUSITES

Mavic Pro; Mavic Pro Platinum; or Mavic Pro Alpine White has to be running STOCK V01.04.0300 fw for all modules

Spark has to be running STOCK V01.00.0900 fw for all modules

Phantom 4 Professional has to be running on STOCK V1.05.0600 fw for all modules

Phantom 4 Standard has to be running on V02.00.0700 fw for all modules

Phantom 4 Advanced has to be running on V01.00.0128 fw for all modules

Phantom 4 ProV2 running a 100% stock version of the V01.00.1500 firmware for all modules

Inspire 2 running a 100% stock version of the V01.02.0200 firmware for all modules
- This means if your firmware is mixed with the flight controller of another firmware, even though it says you are on the correct firmware, you will need to flash a stock version of the correct firmware for you aircraft listed above TWICE to ensure all modules get flashed.
  - When in doubt flash the correct stock firmware TWICE with DUMLdore
Get correct stock firmware versions with DankDroneDownloader Tool :
Get DUMLdore from here:

https://github.com/jezzab/DUMLdore/releases/tag/v3.20
Super-Patcher only runs on Windows

DIRECTIONS

Ensure the prerequisites above are met
Download or clone the entire repository

Be sure to keep all files in original folders

Double click the file called “auto_install.bat”
The auto_install.bat will guide you through the process step by step.

Please do what it says when it says to do it
- Follow all the steps even if you think you don't need to do them... YOU DO!
- Don't try to outsmart the process or do anything extra "for good measure"
  - these are the main reasons for Super-Patcher not being sucessful

You will be prompted to verify flight controller version at the end to confirm Super-Patcher is sucessful
You may optionally use the simulator in Assistant 2 or DJI Go 4 to verify working order before testing outside.

If there are issues with flight in the simulator there will be issues with flight in real life.
- Reflash stock firmware and then redo ENTIRE Super-Patcher process in case of an issue.
  - Please Note: To date there has never been an issue with flight after instaling Super-Patcher. This reccomendation is only a matter of good practice whenever modifying or flashing firmware

Done!

Process takes maybe 5 minutes

FAQ

Q. Do I need a specific version of the DJI Go 4 app to get the benefits of this mod?

A. No, Super-Patcher is not dependent on an app so you can use any one you’d like.

Q. Do I need to do anything with the controller? Like upgrade/downgrade the controller?

A. No, Super-Patcher doesn’t do anything with the controller and it makes no difference which controller firmware you are using.

*Q. There is a parameter called g_config_fw_cfg_max_speed=10 that increased the max flight speed and I was told to increase this to 20 so I can fly faster but when I try to adjust this parameter in Assistant 2 it reverts back to 10 when I reboot the aircraft. How to I change this parameter so I can increase flight speed?

A. The parameter g_config_fw_cfg_max_speed=10 does not affect flight speed. The parameters that control max flight speed end with "_cfg_tilt_atti_range" and "_cfg_rc_scale"each mode has a parameter like this that will adjust the max speed in each mode. g_config_fw_cfg_max_speed=10 was misidentified and somepoint in the past as a max flight speed parameter but it is not. I do not know what it does but I know it does not affect max flight speed. On the newer firmwares this parameter is hardcoded but still visable in Assistant 2 1.1.2 so it will seemingly change in Assistant 2 1.1.2 but in reality it will not let you change it. As far as I am concerned nobody knows what this parameters does.

*Q. Is it worth trying this in my Mavic 2? Any idea when Mavic 2 will be available?

A. Super-Patcher has zero chance of working on the Mavic 2 at this time. We need a decryption key for Mavic 2’s firmware and a way to gain adb access. Both of those things are above my pay grade

Custom work or 1 on 1 help.

I have put a lot of work into making Super-Patcher as easy as possible and have built many features into Super-Patcher but I understand even so there are people that would rather have it done by a professional. I have been getting an increasing number of requests to do Super-Patcher for clients as a service or to build custom flight controllers with specific features not already in Super-Patcher. I am happy to do 1 on 1 sessions and can do the Super-Patcher process remotely via Team View. My rate for setting up Super-Patcher on one of the drones supported is $30 USD. I would ask that you have a Windows 10 PC and reliable internet access to make the process.

I can be reached at brett8883.dev@gmail.com to discuss paid 1 on 1 installations or other custom work.

A special thanks to jezzab and the jezzab/DUMLdore application a full copy of which is included in Super-Patcher and without it Super-Patcher would not be possible.

Thanks to Mefistotelis for his dji-firmware-tools and tutoring me on how to use them.

Thanks to cs2000 and his DankDroneDownloader without which this project would have been much more difficult or impossible. Also thanks to cs2000 for hosting the custom flight controller files and providing continued mentoring.

Thanks to DigDat0 for helping with the 1.3 upgrades which were influenced by his fcchooser project and for teaching me various programming techniques.

Thanks to jkson5 who is the author of the jkson fcc mod which I have barrowed and intregrated into Super-Patcher 1.3 and above

Thanks to the other OGs who have contributed to the dependencies required for Super-Patche and who have, by making their work open, helped me liberate my drone from the limits imposed on it by DJI and inspired me to help others liberate theirs.

Thanks to the NoLimitDronez team for letting me embed their free desktop app into Super-Patcher

There are many whos names I do not know that contributed to the dependencies required for this project. I apologise for not having all of their names acknowleged but I will update this list as I discover them.
