T30 Remote Stuck in Chinese Region

After performing a factory reset the remote is stuck in the Chinese region and will not let the pilot select a new region with an error saying the RC needs to be connected to the internet.

Solution:

  1. From a windows computer look up in a search browser “DJI Assistant for MG”
  2. Download the app and go through the installation process to get Assistant on your computer.
  3. Take your T30 remote and open the bottom compartment where the dongle is and remove the dongle and the 4 screws that hold it to the bottom of the remote.
  4. The expansion board will then pull off of the remote, the back with the external battery is held on with double sided tape.
    1. Be careful not to damage the USB-C plug where the expansion board plugs into the remote.
  5. With the remote turned on, plug a USB-C to USB cable into the bottom of the remote and into the computer with DJI Assistant open.
  6. Click on the remote and go to updates.
  7. Update the RC to any firmware.
  8. It will first download, then transmit, then update.
    1. Usually when it is actually updating the firmware the remote will prompt you to select your region.
    2. If it does not prompt you while updating, it will after finishing.
