And what are they doing with a Drone? ????As we are generally English speaking on this forum.... Yes I agree ..... But also need to consider, that some user are not very tech savvy
Already Parrot is French, plus the most used language for tech is English. Is better he uses G-trasnlator after we can decode the encryption?. There is nothing negative in this.
As I know ... there are some people installed FF6 that could upgrade a beta firmware, after that, they revert to original...
the FF6 was.."FreeFlight6-world-inhouse.apk" 270mb... may be included the older firmware...
I am thinking... if someone has beta app ... we could see the revert firmware part... but I have no experience of de-compiling apk could "ds2atc" let me know what tools you are using. I would try...

I am just decompiling that FreeFlight6-world-inhouse.apk as we speak to see if I can see anything that can help, but my skills in this area are very low level, probably better suited to ds2atc
After decompiling I can see three (3) firmware files in this APK:
The difficulty now is finding a way of rolling back to either the above or a slighter later version of the firmware...... anything but 1.64
I will have a word with some of the guys who were involved in rooting the Mavic Pro, they have the ultimate skill set for reverse engineering, after all they do it for a living.
Just had a thought.... dont know how viable it is. What if the above were renamed to something like
Sure there must be some checks somewhere, again DS2ATC may be able to advise.

You are really fast~~ I've also decompiled the apk
I am thinking that it's difficult to flash the firmware directly, we must do this though faking the app checking, let it run the download process even the firmware is newer...

1.56 anafi firmware is too old i have only 1.61 final and deleted last 1.63. But i have last controller 1.62.
The key is this files:
/data/data/com.parrot.freeflight6/files/firmwares/anafi_4k/1.63
Controller:
/data/data/com.parrot.freeflight6/files/firmwares/sky_controller_3/1.6.2
If delete this file and stay offline the app not show any firmware update:
/data/data/com.parrot.freeflight6/shared_prefs/firmwares.xml.
Once we have the relevant firmware, then the next issue is using it to rollback. Of the searching I have done, everyone who has tried with the Anafi and Mambo have failed,
You can access the Anafi GUI via http, and in the menu there is an option download/upload firmware, but when trying to upload a replacement firmware file, it fails. :-(

Maybe I can help a little ....
I have see in :
/data/data/com.parrot.freeflight6/shared_prefs/firmwares.xml
In this file I found this Link : Firmware 1.6.4 (https://firmware.parrot.com/Drones/0914/1.6.4/ALL/anafi_update.tar.gz)
This start a download in my laptop with the 1.6.4 Firmware
Changed Link to : Firmware 1.6.3
(https://firmware.parrot.com/Drones/0914/1.6.3/ALL/anafi_update.tar.gz)
And this link started a download of the 1.6.3 firmware
Unzipped anafi_update.tar.gz with 7zip and unzip the resulting anafi_update.tar ... checked file in \anafi_update\etc\build.prop and the result is
That confirm me that it's the correct FW1.6.3
Hope can help
Happy to give it a go on one of my devices, BUT for me I dont see how it will help for me to ROLLBACK to 1.63 :-(
Following steps on my rooted phone ...
(My Anafi is on FW 1.6.3 in Switzerland)
I did not found informations about my current installed FW 1.6.3 in /data/data/com.parrot.freeflight6/.....

Other FW in firmwares.xml
https://firmware.parrot.com/Drones/0918/1.6.2/ALL/mpp3_update.tar.gz (maybe Skycontroller3 FW?)
https://firmware.parrot.com/Drones/0914/0.9.9/ALL/anafi_update.tar.gz (???)

interesting changing the download path with 1.6.3 instead of 0.9.9 I downloaded the latest stable version 1.63. now I keep it
If you have anafi 1.63 and controller 1.62 stay with this firmware and not upgrade to toggle notify of 1.64 delete this file:
/data/data/com.parrot.freeflight6/shared_prefs/firmwares.xml
And stay offline. If you go online for download maps repeat and delete again firmwares.xml.
That file doesn't exit for me - even a search fails to get it...
I just delete the obb file, and stay off line.

Interesting !
How can I do this ?
Connect Drone via wifi from pc, then type http://192.168.42.1/ in any browser. vola~
