And what are they doing with a Drone? ????
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.

The few who said yes and no, methinks.
What I mean: you wrote, some say yes, some no.
Go to the source (post) of that quotes and ask 'em directly!

And if they say yes, ask for proof! :eek:
 
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:
  • anafi_thermal_update_1.5.6
  • anafi_update_0.9.9
  • anafi_update_1.5.6
  • mpp3_update_1.5.1

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
  • anafi_update_1.6.5
The APK file them compiled and installed to the device.... wondering if it would see that it has a new version than what is installed.

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...

Could you share those firmwares? maybe the 1.6.1 is good enough...
 
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
ro.build.date=Mon Dec 9 16:51:37 UTC 2019
ro.build.date.utc=1575910297
ro.build.alchemy.product=anafi
ro.build.alchemy.variant=4k
ro.build.hostname=jenkins
ro.parrot.build.group=drones
ro.parrot.build.project=anafi
ro.parrot.build.product=anafi
ro.parrot.build.variant=4k
ro.parrot.build.region=
ro.parrot.build.uid=anafi-4k-1.6.3
ro.parrot.build.version=1.6.3
Click to expand...

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)

  • Started FF6 (Modded App) and it say to me to update on 1.6.4
  • Pushed on Button Update and FF6 started a download
  • After download I have replaced the original downloaded FW 1.6.4 (anafi_update.tar.gz) located in /data/data/com.parrot.freeflight6/files/firmwares/ with the laptop downloaded 1.6.3 link -> anafi_update.tar.gz 1.6.3
  • Restarted FF6 and now in Drone Status i see Installed software 1.6.3 -> Upgrade 1.6.4
  • Pushed Update 1.6.4 and upgrade procedure starts
I do not continue because my FW is already in 1.6.3 and don't want risk my drone

I did not found informations about my current installed FW 1.6.3 in /data/data/com.parrot.freeflight6/.....
Searching ......

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.
