How to Use DUMLdore to Fix Error 40011:

Step 1: Download Tools

   •   DUMLdore v3 (for older drones): DUMLdore v3 GitHub

   •   DUMLdore v4 (newer, includes built-in downloader): DUMLdore v4 GitHub

   •   DJI Assistant 2 (your model): DJI Assistant 2 Downloads

   •   Find firmware .bin for your model: use https://dji-firmware-updater.com/ or extract it from DJI Assistant’s cache.

Step 2: Put Drone in Loader Mode

1. Connect drone via USB to PC.

2. Open DJI Assistant 2 (debug mode).

3. Hold specific button combo (depends on drone) while powering on to enter firmware update mode.

      •   Example: Hold power + gimbal pitch wheel (Mavic series).

4. The drone should appear as “USB Serial Device”.

Step 3: Use DUMLdore

1. Open DUMLdore.

2. Load the .bin firmware file.

3. Select correct COM port (find in Device Manager).

4. Click “Flash” to force firmware onto the drone.

– [ ] 40011 on DJI Air 2S

Tools You’ll Need:

1. DUMLdore v4 (latest version)

GitHub: https://github.com/Jezzab/DUMLdore4

2. Air 2S Firmware .bin File

You can get these from:

      •   https://dji-firmware-updater.com/firmwares/air-2s/

      •   OR extract it from the DJI Assistant 2 install folder after downloading firmware.

3. DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series)

Download: https://www.dji.com/downloads/softwares/dji-assistant-2-consumer-drones-series

4. Windows PC (no mac support for DUMLdore)

Step-by-Step Process

1. Install DJI Assistant 2 + USB Drivers

   •   Install DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series).

   •   Plug in your Air 2S via USB-C.

   •   Let it install any necessary drivers.

   •   Make sure Windows recognizes it under Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT).

2. Download the Firmware .bin File

Example firmware for Air 2S:

   •   v02.04.21.50 (commonly used stable version)

   •   Download .bin from:

https://dji-firmware-updater.com/firmwares/air-2s

Save the .bin file somewhere accessible.

3. Put the Drone into Firmware Loader Mode

Air 2S does not use button combos like older drones. Instead:

   •   Open DJI Assistant 2, connect the drone, and downgrade/refresh firmware (optional)

   •   Disconnect DJI Assistant 2

   •   Open DUMLdore

If the drone is detected as a COM device, you’re good. If not:

   •   Use Zadig driver tool to replace the USB driver with WinUSB (libusb)

4. Flash the Firmware with DUMLdore

   •   Open DUMLdore v4

   •   Select the .bin file for the Air 2S

   •   It should auto-detect the COM port; if not, enter it manually

   •   Click “Flash” and let it run until complete

After Flashing:

   •   Power cycle the drone

   •   Reconnect with the DJI Fly App

Third-party GitHub 

DJI drones, including links where you can access tools, calibration, firmware updates, and other drone management tasks. All relevant DJI Models

All can use 

DJI Firmware Tools GitHub

   •   Litchi (For advanced flight control): Litchi Website

   •   DroneHacks (For older DJI models): DroneHacks Website

Third-Party Tools for DJI Drones:

1. DJI Firmware Tools (GitHub)

      •   Purpose: This open-source tool is one of the most popular third-party solutions for managing firmware and performing certain updates and calibrations across many DJI drone models, including Mavic, Phantom, Air, and Mini series.

      •   Link: DJI Firmware Tools GitHub

2. PyDJI (Python-based SDK)

      •   Purpose: This Python library is used for controlling DJI drones and performing firmware management. It allows users to interact with DJI drone hardware using Python scripts for various tasks, including updates and some calibrations.

      •   Link: PyDJI on GitHub

3. Litchi (Third-party flight app)

      •   Purpose: Litchi is a popular third-party app used for flight planning and advanced drone control. It provides additional features beyond the DJI Go apps and can be used for missions, waypoint navigation, and automated tasks. It’s widely used for Mavic and Phantom drones.

      •   Link: Litchi for DJI Drones

4. DroneHacks (For older DJI models)

      •   Purpose: This third-party tool is specifically used for modifying firmware on older DJI models like the Phantom 3 and Inspire 1, allowing you to bypass restrictions and perform custom firmware updates.

      •   Link: DroneHacks

5. Open Drone ID

      •   Purpose: A system to modify or monitor certain aspects of your DJI drone via third-party software using open protocols for identification and tracking. It’s generally used for regulatory compliance and performance monitoring.

      •   Link: Open Drone ID

6. GimbalCal (For Gimbal Calibration)

      •   Purpose: GimbalCal is a third-party tool specifically for calibrating the gimbals on various DJI drones. It offers more detailed control over gimbal settings than the DJI apps.

      •   Link: GimbalCal

– [ ] DJI Drones That May Require Other Tools:

      •   The Matrice 200 Series and Matrice 300 RTK may require DJI Skyport and DJI Pilot App for advanced calibration and configuration, particularly for industrial applications or if using specialized payloads. These drones are designed for enterprise use, and specific software tools are used for configuration beyond what the DJI Firmware Tools cover.

2. DJI Inspire Series:

      •   The Inspire 1 and Inspire 2 use DJI Assistant 2 for Inspire for firmware updates, gimbal calibration, and other advanced settings. While DJI Firmware Tools can handle basic tasks, the Inspire series has unique requirements for setup and calibration.

DJI FPV Series:

      •   DJI FPV and DJI Avata use specific tools like DJI FPV Assistant 2 for configuration, tuning, and firmware updates. These are primarily used for racing drones, and their setup might require more customization than the typical DJI drones.

 DJI Spark:

      •   Although DJI Spark can be calibrated using DJI Assistant 2, earlier versions might require additional tools or app updates to fully calibrate gimbals and cameras. The DJI GO 4 app is commonly used, but some firmware and calibration features might not be available directly in the DJI Firmware Tools.

5. DJI Phantom 3 Standard & older:

   •   DJI Pilot App and DJI Skyport are used for enterprise drones like the Matrice series.
