Lost the adapter cable for doing updates. Why cant I find them anywhere?!

That small little female USB to male MICRO. It MAGICALLY fell out of my kit and Ive torn everythign apart looking for it.

One problem, there are NONE that I can find on the website, and I learned that OTG cables do NOT work for the update. My bird is currently bricked because I had a cable that I forgot was OTG only, so the update got to 99% then died out when I think It needed to send a confirmation back to the phone.

Long story short. Bricked bird. Cant find the cables. Any help?!?!?

I haven't used that cables since the first day I opened my phantom. I actually forgot what it was for. thought all updates were done through Wi-Fi???

All you need is any normal USB cable as long as it's a data cable (some are charging only).
They are common and cheap at ebay etc.

I dont have one either but you can plug your controller into a laptop or whatever and then go from the controller to the phantom. When you daisy chain it like that you update everything all with the same configuration.

That cable is called an 'on the go' adapter yes a funny name. Can find it on ebay its main use is to read a usb drive on an android tablet.

The USB adapter is for when going from DJI Go 4 app via tablet/phone to the drone, and is used on the drone side, not the phone side. From a PC using Assistant and standard USB A to Micro cable is needed.

I had to use it last night, the GO 4 app wanted me to connect the phone to the aircraft, and it updated the NFZ database
Before I did that, I hooked it up to Assistant 2, and that said all was up to date. <Shrug>

Technical name is USB - A female to Micro USB male. Just incase someone wants to do a search.

I have thought about getting a USB - A male to Micro USB male to not need to connect two cables together but have not tried it yet. Seems plausiblee though.
