- Click on the "INSTALL" button to upload the firmware files to the Solo.
- Reboot the Solo. It will take a couple minutes for the Solo to reboot. It will have LED lights on the props change colors. Continue to wait until your remote says it has connected to the Solo again. The final colors will be Red and Green in the front and Blue in the back. If after 10 minutes the Solo is stuck with no connection to your remote and the LEDs changing colors, turn off power to both your Solo and remote. Then turn them both back on again and see if the update process will complete. Mine took 2 reboots to get it to boot up again.
- When you Solo turns back on, it should complain about a compass error. Wait until you have completed the next step before performing a compass calibration.

- On my phone, i had the application "My Files" to navigate the folders.

If you do not have Solex, you can still update your Solo. You can use FileZilla, an ftp application to load the files to the Solo. Follow the instructions here to upload the files manually. You will still need to download the new zip file from the link above.
