Resolving FDU Device Detection or "Writing Data Error"

If the FDU utility does not detect your device or displays a "Writing Data Error," follow these steps in sequence:

  • Install Required Drivers:

Navigate within Companion → Tools → Install DJI Drivers.

  • Launch the FDU firmware update program and allow it to load fully.
  • Press Win + R, type the following command, and press Enter:

%PROGRAMDATA%\FDU\backend.exe

  • Confirm the User Account Control (UAC) prompt if it appears.
  • Close FDU.
  • Reopen FDU.

Additionaly, ensure your USB cable and the USB port on your computer or device are functioning correctly, as a faulty connection is a common cause of such errors.
