Thanks for your help. No, I don't have it anymore. Where can I find this? The version I installed is freeflight 6, downloaded from Google Play, on November 18th of this year.
Obrigado pela ajuda. Não, não tenho mais. Onde posso encontrar isso? A versão que instalei é o freeflight 6, baixado do Google Play, em 18 de novembro deste ano.
Okay, it's resolved. It seems like the problem is old. I found this information (attached photo) and solved it. The problem was that the file explorer I used did not 'see', inside the folder OBB.
Sorry, the photo came out in Portuguese, what he says is that the fact is due to the prohibitions in the latest versions of Android, which do not allow you to see the OBB folder. Using the explorer 'Cx File Explorer' the contents of the folder appear.

Hi everyone, and many thanks to @AnafiPilot1 and @ds2atc for their work on these modded FF6. I just got a second hand Anafi because I found it to be the best fit for my use for this price. What I did not expect is that most software maintenance from Parrot would be over by now... So, I managed to install a FF6 normal version, then @AnafiPilot1's modded version, but what I really needed was the Flight Plan mode... And I even tried to buy it in the Android store... But after many search I understood that there was no hope to get it officially, and I did not found any unofficial way either. I tried Pix4D Capture, and went around the rectilinear 16MP limitation. Then I have been looking at Parrot's APIs, which looks great, but I do not have enough time and motivation to code something from scratch to use flight plans, and I also think it's much more convenient to load flight plans from the "regular" piloting app. Well, I finally got into this post:
So thank to @ds2atc effort to summarize how he modded FF6, I found a simple way to unlock the Flight plan and Follow me modes. They are both natively included in the app, but just locked until you buy them. Since buying is not anymore possible in Android, I think that it is ok to share an unlocked version. There are a bunch of Anafis in good condition on the second-hand market, it would be a shame to throw them away because of a software problem. They can still be useful to anyone who cannot afford a brand new high-end professional drone. Sorry I'm digressing a bit
So, I made a modded version of @AnafiPilot1's modded version of FF6. For now, I only produced the FF6_6_7_6_SE_BATTERY mod, which I called FF6_6_7_6_SE_BATTERY_ADDONS. I'll make the FF6_6_7_6_FFC_BATTERY_ADDONS as quickly as possible. The apk is available on this drive:
drive.google.com
And I also added the necessary obb to install the app, because anyone getting an Anafi right now could be unable to install even the official version... (That was my case, luckily I found an xapk including the obb).
Hope this will help !
In case I don't have time to modify or I sell or lose my Anafi, I will write down what I have done for modification here.
1. get apk
The best way to get an apk file is getting it from your device. There are many methods to do this. I use LG backup to get it.
or use apkmirror.com if you trust that site.
get the latest version(which you will modify) and the same version of original file of the latest modded version you can get.
also get the latest version of modded one here.
2. get apktool
From FF6 6.5.0 update, only apktool 2.4.0...

You're welcome ! However, I think I already gave many hints on how I did this, based on a detailed procedure already described by another member of the forum. If you have some coding skills and are curious enough I have no doubts that you will quickly find how to do this. If you don't, I am sorry but I will not make any tutorial for you because I do not have time for this, and although it does no prejudice to Parrot to unlock an addon that is no longer sold, it is borderline enough to avoid giving all the details.
Hi!
There'ss a surefire way to restore the functionality of the FreeFlight 6 app for Anafi/Anafi Thermal. I used this method and it works. It probably works on most new devices. I wasted a lot of time on it, but with the help of information from this forum and a bit of ingenuity I managed problem to achieve that goal. Right now the app works without a problem on my Samsung S23 with Android 14 on board.
Below is the solution to the problem that worked in my case:
1. Install the original FreeFlight 6 application from the Google store on a smartphone that supports this application (in my case Huawei P10).
2. In the android/obb/com.parrot.freeflight6 folder, the file main.xxxxxxxx.com.parrot.freeflight6.obb will be created, where xxxxxxxx is an 8-character number - I don't know what it depends on and I don't know if it works as a result of transferring between devices in different locations around the world... This file (obb) should be copied - sent it to an external drive or download to a computer via USB connection.
3. On the new device, create the same folder - android/obb/com.parrot.freeflight6.
4. On the new device, install the FreeFlight 6 application or one of the mods available on this forum.
5. In the event of a data synchronization error (message - no internet/network connection, despite the fact that there is a connection), exit the application and copy the previously downloaded content from a compatible device to the created directory on the new device (file main.xxxxxxxx.com.parrot.freeflight6.obb into folder android/obb/com.parrot.freeflight6).
6. After starting the application, you must register at Parrot community and from that moment on the application will work, communicate with the drone and enable full functionality of using the drone. In case of a problem with registration (error creating an account), after undoing and returning to the application, the application works normally.
If you cannot see the obb files and the system folder in Android, it may be helpful to use additional applications "Files from Marc apps&software" or "Solid Explorer File Manager". It may also be helpful to enable "developer options" on the Android phone -> remove the OEM lock.
I hope the above will be helpful for resolving problems and getting back full functionality to your device

Hi, and pardon my ignorance. I purchased an ANAFI Thermal from ebay and turns out it's one of the stolen. Regardless, with the help of the seller, I was able to side load FF6 "no blacklist" and an "obb"file. I was able to use the drone but was not able to load maps, thus not being able to use the Return Home feature. So I tried using your version 6.7.6 fcc and I get "We encountered a problem with your drone, Please contact Parrot customer service" I tried it with the obb file I got from the seller and without. same results. The Tablet I am using is NVIDIA Shield K1 Android 7. I would appreciate any insight / help. Thank you. - Jesse
