Hello, I had already given up on this drone, I followed your tutorial and managed to pair it again, congratulations and thank you very much for your help.
Great video and a big thanks to all involved that figured this out. I may have missed it in the video but where does the new boat loader image on the SDCard come from? Can’t wait to try this as we have three Karma drones with this issue. 😊
@@bozmanx i mean is primordial to change the nand or with the original one can be apply this process? i'm don't have nand programmer, for that is my question, thanks so much for u answer.
@@bozmanx Thanks for answer me, i'm from Argentina and i have a karma to repair, im computer technician with more tha 20 years working in electronics, count with me for anything u need.
Boa noite amigão, sou do brasil, tenho noção de solda em eletrônicos, to acompanhando os seus videos para tentar recuperar o meu karma, fiquei com duvida, qual adaptador vc usou para ligar o karma com o computador ?
My Karma died the same way , funny thing is my Yuneec Typhoon H died with the exact same symptoms as the karma shortly afterwards like it had lost its memory , even down to having to pull the battery to shutdown , I wonder if they both use a similar operating system ?
There is a dedicated forum for the Typhoon, it would be worth posting a question there on it to see if others have had the issue and what the fix might be. yuneecpilots.com/
Hi, I have the pairing issue. I see there are many videos of fixes and am confused as to what all is necessary. Is there a recent comprehensive video or written description of what is required? Thank you!
If you watched the full video it should be fairly clear. You can also watch this which is the same thing but without the theory. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_gRCGIWP8Ys.html There are several other videos on my channel which talk about other parts of the process. This video is specific to fixing the pairing issue when you have the broken boot loader. The following are the symptoms for the pairing issue, Drones power light is white, gimble doesn't move, can't power off with the drones power button.
We dont use a JTAG adapter its a USB to serial device (cp2102 from memory), you can see more about it in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-05uqpPYnMg8.html
Hello thanks for the educational videos you've been putting out. I've watched this video several times and I'm not understanding the adding of the SD card port. I don't see you ever put a card in there. do you put a card in there? My drone has that Port I noticed that years ago and thought that was a possible software update sd port.
Yes , you need to download this image and the tool, burn it to a micro SD card and insert it into the slot before triggering the SD card boot. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1l0vRHL0187gdtYLM0ficCJhaDlT93Fur
@@bozmanx thanks for the tip I have watched all of your videos I'm pretty much got to understanding of what's going on. Managed to get one of my karma's up and going without doing any of this the other night. My other one though I am pretty confident it's issue is a software issue. Mine all have SD card slots on them already which is a plus. I just got my resistors yesterday in the mail that's the last of what I needed so I'll be attempting this in the next. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this information a lot of us are very frustrated..

Could you please specify the 1K resistor that was used in this video? I'm not familiar with electronic components. When I was looking for the 1K resistor, it appeared with wattage. Which one should I pick? the 1K with 1/4W, 1W, or 2W? Thank you for sharing btw. I got this issue and can't fly it for almost 3 years.
My KARMA does have the built in Micro SD Card slot. Is there a difference in the process you use in this video. If so do you have a video that goes through the steps in my variation? Big thanks in advance!
There is a new section on the discord server for putty and USB serial question. There is already some info there but your welcome to ask questions if you have a specific one.
The small resistor that makes contact with the probe is coated with something to make it waterproof, but how do I remove it? (I scraped too much off. Is there a way to melt it?) Also, can all LINUX commands and text be changed using the provided SD image file?

j got an error web trying to boot from sd cart: (don't read boot.scr----wrong image format for fatload---error can t get kernel image)while the card works on another drone....Do you have a good idea of the probleme? thank you very much
yes, I have not seen one it doesnt work on. If it doesnt its normally a driver issue or one of the other well known issues. You can get more on these and or ask questions specific to any problems you have on the discord channel
I booted it from the SD card and got to the point where I was reading the uImage file, but a reading error occurred with the fatload command and it stopped at the u-boot command prompt. Also, I'm concerned that file format information such as FAT is not displayed using the mmcinfo command. It's quite difficult.
I own two aircraft that have stopped flying after updating the firmware on the aircraft (the stabilizer does not work, the power switch LED sometimes blinks and does not stop). I tried booting from the SD card on these two machines, but there was no change at all on one machine. Both machines are in the same condition, but why doesn't one of them even boot into SD? It's quite difficult.
There is a little bit of an art to it, sometimes it takes me a couple of goes as well. Come over to the Discord server so we can provide more information, we also have other videos there and its all free.
Sorry , I dont have a MAC, you would need to look for the equitant products in MAC land. I believe a couple of people have tried to do it. You should go to the Discord server and ask the question there. discord.com/invite/wGVdWPpkua
Because the OS on the drone has not booted you cant type any commands into putty that is connected to the UART. Once you boot off the SD card there is then a OS loaded and you can run commands.
have a look at this list and find someone close to you, Im happy to do it if your in Australia. facebook.com/groups/1412898679632354/permalink/1413795696209319

Hello, I tried the procedure, I have a problem that I don't understand, I can't boot on the SD card, it keeps booting on the nand flash. I took pictures of the assembly just in case to show you. I can also make a video if you want. Thank you and hello from Switzerland. sorry for my English.
If it continually tries to boot from nand then your not triggering the SD card boot. make sure you have 3.3 volts on your probe and that you are connecting to the TP1 test point, it might be worth watching this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-05uqpPYnMg8.html
@@bozmanx Hello to you, thank you very much for your response 👍 I was able to boot from the SD card, it's super great. Thank you again for everything, have a nice day 🙏
You should write a step by step procedure for all who have not any idea where to solder e what kind of hardware to buy. I’ll see you post a link where to download the alternative bootloader. After you reboot from alternative booloadr the pairing issur has fixed for evere? Many Thx best greetings
Is any one able to explain the process of what needs to be done with the physical SD card? I see the files in the Google drive, but I'm not sure what to do with them. Thanks!
you need to download this image and tool. you then use the tool to burn the image to a miro SD card drive.google.com/drive/folders/1l0vRHL0187gdtYLM0ficCJhaDlT93Fur?usp=sharing

Some already have it, if you dont you can look to solder one on. There is someone working on a board you can build from avalaible parts but its not done yet.
Come over to the GoPro (broken) Karma Pilots facebook page. There is a list of people there who can help you resolve this issue if you dont have the skills.
There is someone on the North coast and I am in Sydney. Come over to our facebook page, we have a list there of the people who can help out. facebook.com/groups/1412898679632354
Are you able to complete the process in the video? If not is there an electronics repair workshop close by that might be able to carry out the process for you?
Hi , the list is here No one currently in those places but there are people close. facebook.com/groups/1412898679632354/permalink/1413795696209319 If you come to the discord server (invite in the description) there might be a guy there from Sydney who can help you
Where are you located? We now have over 20 people around the world who can fix them for you. There is also a kit available that requires no soldering ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KdHSphOYSqw.html
With due respect, great job but do you really think 99.9% are all going to do this shit, when as customer you bought a Gp pro product and it's their issue?, they better get me a new one or I'm suing them. With so many people having this issue that's easy when they make millions and ignore the problem, yet on top asking customer to subscribe and on top get a subscription for $55, OMG, let's get into flying to court mode😂
GoPro isnt going to do anything for you to fix this issue, there has already been an attempt at a class action but they were not able to find a lawyer to take it on. We are providing the next best thing, fixing the root cause of the issue. We now have a kit that you can buy that requires no soldering to fix the pairing issue. Its that or throw it in the trash.

Hey I love the video! I just don’t have the time to do this. I am experiencing the same issue and have exhausted every single option between software and contacting go pro and every other video on RU-vid in attempts to remedy the issue. Could I send it to you for repairs? I do not care about cost. I desperately just want this thing to fly again.
