You will be installing an .apk file and copying a folder named com.parrot.freeflight3 to the /Android/obb folder on your phone.
There are two ways to accomplish this.
Option #1 (easiest) is to copy the files from a Windows PC to your phone.
Option #2 is to use a 3rd party app to copy/move the files on your phone without a Windows PC
OPTION #1:
Download the .apk and obb folder to your computer from the site linked below.

I followed that thread and have the s/w working on my Samsung S25.
I have asked on another post about my problem getting the Bebop 2 working with the Skycontroller 2. Using 5.2.7 I can only connect to the drone (via wifi) or the controller(via cable) independently. Once I connect the cable to controller, I get disconnected from the drone.

When you connect with the SC2, the light on it turns green before you connect the cable to the controller correct? after you connect the cable, does it stay green?
Hi, thanks for the reply. No, when I power on the SC2 the light flashes red. When I connect the cable to the phone FFP starts and I can see the SC2 information. Eg firmware is 1.0.9. Light on SC2 continues to flash red.
If I then power on the Bebop2, my phone connects to its wifi and if I hit "connect" in FFP it says "no drones". Disconnect the cable from SC2 and boom, the phone connects to the drone. Connect the cable again to SC2 and drone connectons drops. Drone is 4.7.1 firmware.

I asked for help on thread "Multiple connection issues with FFP 5.2.7 and Bebop2" and my post is awaiting forum manager review.
Oh sounds like your SC2 never actually connected to the bebop, when the SC2 establishes a link it should stay green.
Thanks, I've had the two talking to each other only one time. Never checked the LED status at the point. I flew it around a bit, the battery died. Since then never got the two to work together again.
Reset both drone and SC2, removed all s/w from phone. Started from scratch and still nothing.

That's weird, I don't remember the procedure but I am somewhat sure the SC2 should connect to the bebop automatically, try resetting the bb2 and SC2 and leaving them alone for a bit with no app with the SC2 as close to the front part of the bb2 as possible to minimise the distance between the antennas if you don't see a green light within 5 min post back with your findings!
Nothing has worked. The SC2 continues to have a flashing red light.
My understanding after reading many posts is that the SC2 connects to the drone through the mobile phone and its wifi. The SC2 doesn't connect directly to the drone.
I even went through a process to change the drone IP to 192.168.41.1 (drone is unix) as that thread said the SC2 only knows 41 ip and not the 42 ip that the drone uses. That did nothing to make things work.
I'm at a loss

If I have some spare tokens after development today I will take a look into why you can't connect, OH I just realised, you said the SC2 self assigned IP 192.168.41.x, that's odd and could point to the SC2 needing a firmware update, my bebop and all bebops I have had self assign the IP of 192.168.42.1, in summary we might need to figure out how to update your SkyController, I will provide you with the firmware image of mine if you need it!
Hi Gianni, I'm not sure what IP the SC2 is getting. I was basing that on another post where one person said they changed the drone IP network from 42 to 41 and then their SC2 would connect.
I plan on changing my drone back to 42 since it didn't help.
Possibly a good idea to reflash the SC2 even if it's the same version. I have 1.0.9 now. I'd like to get a copy of what you have and procedure to install from a Windows PC.
Thanks

I have sent a dump of my SC2 filesystem but the mods haven't allowed the link

Hi Giannis, I have accessed the zip file you proivded. How do I get the files on to my SC2 to overwrite the ones on there already? Is there a tool? Connect via USB from my laptop or phone?
Appreciate the info.

I was thinking about how you would do that, a way to normally do this would be connecting the sc2 to your drone and then telnetting to it but that is out of the question for now sadly, I think you should be able to connect via USB to the controller via ADB so you can try that but the issue again is that normally the sc2 doesn't advertise its own wifi, the only hardware solution I know of is a USB to ethernet adapter on your SC2 and then an ethernet cable from the sc2 to your laptop that should allow you to update the firmware no worries as well as install any other thing you may want onto it
Thanks for all the help so far but I've not made any progress and likely give up with the SC2. I have a tablet that I will use instead to fly the drone. Not as convenient for the controls as the joysticks on the SC2.
Alternative is off to the dump and look at a new drone.

I wouldn't give up on it yet! If you manage to get my USB networking driver onto the SC2 you will have very very easy access to it via telnet, for now if you buy a USB to ethernet adapter is it guaranteed to work!
Well well....I found a USB ethernet adapter that's been sitting around for years.
Now, do I just connect it to the SC2, use a ethernet cable and connect directly to my laptop. Then just "connect" some how???

That is amazing! Yes you do connect to the SC2 to your laptop, you will have to find its IP (mine was 192.168.53.1) but then you will have direct telnet and ftp access to it!
