Don't use 4.1.8 for update ! Downgrade and use the version 4.1.5 to do updates.
This work for me.

RC Update beeps and stuck on 5%
- Thread starter coconuts
- Start date
No need to root, just allow other source in the phone settings, uninstall and install from the apk.
I had exactly the same problem with my Samsung 8+. I retried the update with my Iphone 6+ and it worked. This is just ridiculous that the firmware update that is REQUIRED won't work on an Android.

Downgrading the Android app to 4.1.5 works. It only gave me issues upgrading the RC firmware. Upgrading the drone and batteries worked fine.

Yep, similar problem with my RC last week.
Tried for the best part of a full day trying with my Samsung galaxy S8....same problem, beeping and stuck on 5%.
Got home and tried it on my ipad air 2 and it worked first time!
I feel for all the people out there who only have android and no apple products to try it on.
Yep, ridiculous indeed!
Thanks

A simple google can find android users a link to 4.1.5 and an explanation for the failure. I'm a brand new Spark owner, Android only, and I had the problem solved w/in 5 minutes of googling about it. I think people just panic before even looking for a solution to problems.
Brand new Spark owner also.
I was under the impression that because the latest firmware update was mandatory, i wouldn't have been able to downgrade to 4.1.5.
Maybe i should've googled it also ha ha!

4.1.5 is in reference to the android app version. The current version on the android market is 4.1.8 and it won't upgrade firmware properly. You'll get the latest firmware installed onto your drone using 4.1.5 (or probably any previous app version).
The really flabbergasting thing about this though is that DJI hasn't released a new version of the app on the Android market yet. There's no waiting period or anything like the apple app store has, so I can't fathom why they didn't instantly release a fix when the problem started. It boggles the mind.
Yeah totally agree.
It is a major pain for the less tech savvy among us...people like me ha ha!
Just received my first DJI unit today.
A DJI Spark.
The first thing when i start it up, it wants to update the firmware - It goes okay until it comes to the Controller...
It beeps, and on the APP it is not progressing above 5%
After downloading the DJI Go 4.1.5 APK - It all worked
Link to the APK: Download DJI GO 4 4.1.5 apk - APK.CO

Uninstall DJI Go4 app ( I assume you have the current version) Install DJI Go4 v4.1.5 app, make sure your phone and RC are on Wifi (don't use OTG cable) and it should update, after it's done reinstall the current version of the app v4.1.9, if your still stuck search on YouTube for how to update Spark RC
