DJI Matrice 350 RTK v17.02.01.01 Update Fixes RTH Signal Loss

DJI released a new firmware update for the Matrice 350 RTK on 28 May 2026, bringing aircraft firmware v17.02.01.01. The update is a focused safety fix that resolves a return to home failure after signal loss for aircraft controlled through the Mobile SDK Virtual Stick. Here is a clear look at what changed, the matching component versions, and how to install it.

What The 28 May 2026 Matrice 350 RTK Firmware Update Includes

The DJI Matrice 350 RTK is DJI's flagship commercial drone platform, built for demanding inspection, mapping, and public safety missions. This release is a targeted fix rather than a feature update, and it addresses one specific behaviour that matters for developers and operators running automated or custom flight applications.

The single change in this version fixes the issue where the aircraft failed to trigger return to home after signal loss when being controlled via MSDK Virtual Stick. For teams building bespoke flight control on top of the DJI Mobile SDK, this is an important reliability correction.

Why The RTH Signal Loss Fix Matters

Return to home is one of the core safety features on any professional drone. When the control link drops, the aircraft should automatically fly back to its recorded home point rather than drifting or holding position until the battery runs low. The Mobile SDK Virtual Stick function lets developers send manual control inputs programmatically, which is common in automated inspection routines and third party flight apps.

Before this update, an aircraft flown through Virtual Stick could fail to start return to home if the signal was lost mid flight. That gap created a real risk on longer or more complex missions. The v17.02.01.01 firmware closes it, so the failsafe now behaves as expected across both manual and SDK controlled flights. Any operator running custom applications on the M350 RTK should treat this as a priority install.

Matching Firmware And App Versions In This Release

A clean update means bringing every connected component to the version DJI has validated together. The 28 May 2026 package lists the following alongside aircraft firmware v17.02.01.01:

• Remote Controller firmware v06.02.13.12
• DJI Pilot 2 App for Android v17.0.0.26
• D-RTK 2 Mobile Station for Matrice v03.01.0000
• BS65 Intelligent Battery Station v07.00.01.08
• BS60 Intelligent Battery Station v07.00.00.09
• TB65 Intelligent Flight Battery v09.03.00.50
• TB60 Intelligent Flight Battery v01.02.05.44

DJI also lists current payload firmware in this release, including the Zenmuse H30 and H30T at v10.06.01.06, the Zenmuse P1 at v10.01.02.01, the Zenmuse L1 at v07.00.01.10, the Zenmuse L2 at v06.00.01.04, and the H20 series at v07.00.01.05. DJI Assistant 2 for the Enterprise Series sits at v2.1.20.

How To Update Your Matrice 350 RTK

Update the aircraft and remote controller through DJI Assistant 2 (Enterprise Series) or the DJI Pilot 2 app. The built in DJI Pilot 2 app updates together with the remote controller firmware, and the D-RTK 2 mobile station is updated through DJI Assistant 2. Intelligent Battery Stations update from the app by connecting the station to the remote controller and running the update on the HMS page in DJI Pilot 2.

Before you fly, make sure the aircraft, remote controller, battery, D-RTK 2 mobile station if used, and payload if used are all on the latest firmware. For the Zenmuse L1, L2, P1, or H20N, download the latest firmware from the official DJI website to a microSD card to complete the update. Confirm every component reports the correct version before starting a mission, since running mismatched firmware can affect performance.

FAQs

What is the latest Matrice 350 RTK firmware version?

The latest Matrice 350 RTK aircraft firmware is v17.02.01.01, released on 28 May 2026. It pairs with remote controller firmware v06.02.13.12 and DJI Pilot 2 app for Android v17.0.0.26.

What does the Matrice 350 RTK v17.02.01.01 update fix?

It fixes the issue where the aircraft failed to trigger return to home after signal loss when being controlled via MSDK Virtual Stick. This restores the expected failsafe behaviour for SDK based and automated flights.

What is MSDK Virtual Stick?

MSDK Virtual Stick is a function in the DJI Mobile SDK that lets developers send manual flight control inputs programmatically. It is widely used in automated inspection apps and custom flight control software built for DJI enterprise drones.

How do I update DJI Matrice 350 RTK firmware?

Update the aircraft and remote controller using DJI Assistant 2 (Enterprise Series) or the DJI Pilot 2 app, then update batteries through the battery station on the HMS page. Always confirm the aircraft, controller, batteries, and any payloads are on the latest versions before flying.

Final Thoughts

The 28 May 2026 Matrice 350 RTK firmware is a small but meaningful update. A single fix to the return to home failsafe after signal loss may not look dramatic, but it protects against exactly the kind of failure that can end a mission badly. For any team flying the M350 RTK through the Mobile SDK or automated apps, this is a sensible update to apply promptly.
