Removing the softmod

SoftIce edited this page Jun 4, 2019 · 8 revisions

In case you want to entirely remove the BebopTwo4G softmod from your Bebop 2 and Skycontroller 2, follow the instructions below.

You need a PC for the removal. These instructions should work on the latest OS versions of Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux.

  • Download .zip archive of the latest softmod scripts and binaries
  • Unzip contents (the extraction process automatically creates a new folder "beboptwo4g-master" or "beboptwo4g-x.y", where by x.y is the release version number)
  • Turn on your Bebop 2.
  • Ensure no device is plugged into Skycontroller 2 via USB cable.
  • Turn on Skycontroller 2 and wait until it's connected to the Bebop 2 via Wi-Fi (green LED).
  • Connect your PC's Wi-Fi to the Bebop 2 (e.g. Bebop2-123456)
  • Use an FTP tool (e.g. FileZilla) to upload the softmod to your Bebop 2.
    • Connect via FTP to 192.168.42.1 (no username/password required)
    • You have to set the transfer type to Binary (not ASCII). In FileZilla under Edit → Settings... → Transfers → FTP: File Types → Default transfer type → change from Auto to Binary.
    • Transfer the "beboptwo4g-master" or "beboptwo4g-x.y" folder to the "/internal_000" folder on the Bebop 2.
  • Open a Command Prompt (Windows)/Terminal (macOS/Linux) and Copy/Paste the following commands manually (line by line) to remove the softmod.
    • telnet 192.168.42.1 (If you are getting "command not found" or "... is not recognized as an internal or external command", please check this FAQ article first)
    • mv /data/ftp/internal_000/beboptwo4g-* /tmp/beboptwo4g
    • chmod +x /tmp/beboptwo4g/*/*_uninstall.sh
    • /tmp/beboptwo4g/bebop2/bebop2_uninstall.sh
    • /tmp/beboptwo4g/skycontroller2/skycontroller2_uninstall.sh
    • reboot
  • Restart your Bebop 2 and Skycontroller 2 manually now.
