Firmware Flashing FrSky Receivers - R-XSR and Others...

This tutorial video will teach you how to safely flash new firmware to FrSky receivers. This will allow you to unlock new features and troubleshoot problems as well as expand compatibility with new FPV flight controller features.

I first tried flashing to a FrSky R-XSR receiver in order to have KISS LUA Scripts work. However, the procedure is the same for many other receivers including the X4R-SB, XM+, XSR and others. Some need to be flashed via the SBUS port instead of the Smart Port, but for the most part it's all the same.

Serious props for this. Since I had the Taranix x7. I had to make a special cable for that controller, everything else was the same.

I could not for the life of me to get the receiver to update using the pins in module bay. But in bottom of radio ( I'm using QX7S) there's a port that servo cable fits in. Tried that one and it worked great. Thought I'd pass that on.

Note the update on the EdgeTX system. I couldn't upload new software to RXSR, only reverting the radio back to OpenTX helped

Thanks for this vid! I bought 3 brand new ones and before binding one I updated the FW and it didn't bind. I tried the other 2 and they both bound properly. I reflashed it now with the same FCC file you selected and it now works. FRSKY has a newer file uploaded you want to use the one uploaded 2017-10-09 at the writing of this msg 04/29/18

FYI, if you have a Frsky Q X7, and the RXSR receiver, the RXSR comes with the proper cable to flash the receiver without modifying the servo connector (its actually keyed so you cant plug it in upside down in the S.Port on the bottom of the radio)

so what if I don't have a Taranis transmitter, I have a few other transmitters Frsky i6 and FPVBETA plus a irangeX, Thanks for the video but it should say "how to flash with a TARANIS"!

where do I get that damn cable to connect r xsr to the TX? Can't update as I dont have the cable ...

[stephenclute]

This video was hugely helpful getting my RXSR updated. However, im running KISS and a RDQ Mach2 vtx, and though i can adjust everything related to the FC, i cant adjust the vtx settings. Any ideas about how to get Mach2 working in this situation?

Why would you not plug the power into the 6v pin, so that it wouldn't matter if you're running 2s or 3s?

And.. I have a unique problem..
I download the firmware to my X9D+ SE, flash external module to an (3 now to be exact) R-XSR receiver (wires swapped), "writing firmware", green light only, no blue light, and no bind. Try the "hold the button for 4 seconds to change to SBUS, nothing. Bricked receiver.
Download the exact same firmware to my QX7, get an "S-Port Flash" option, "write firmware" (to the same X9D+ bricked receivers), blue (SBUS) light, binds with the X9D+ SE, full telemetry, LUA script, no problems.
I've asked "why doesn't it work with the X9D+" on every forum and FB page I know of, no clues.. My grand FPV mystery..

[MGL]

Ok, but is there a way to flash it without a Taranis? I have Turnigy 9X and it doesn't have any SD capabilities. Can I flash it through an FC connected to PC?

[johnnydepp]

"today we are going to do something we dont do often enough, flashing the firmware"

Do you what to flash your firmware all the time ????

[siowyijoe]

What about the lbt?what is that for? Or which country only uses that?

[MundoRc]

hello, i have the same receiver and i have a question, i only use this receiver in my quad, and i want to know which cable do you use, , sbus_in(white) or sbus_out/cppm? i don't know why, but mine is binded correctly with my taranis but when the drone doesn't controller board doesn't receive anything

[a.i.thinker]

Would I still need telemetry wire from esc to FC for this to work? (Kiss 24a Kiss FC)

[Soundboy]

Do you think the “phantom file” is there cause you didn’t empty the trash?

[kkkkkkkkkk]

quick question ... i have flashed my fc with beta flight .. what lua scripts should i use ?
