3. **Install:** From the firmware updates menu in Solex, tap the _Open Solo 2.5-RC1 Clean Install_ package that you previously downloaded. Again, be patient while numerous large files are extracted and scripts execute. Do not push buttons, exit the app, mess with the Solo, etc. Let it do its thing. Do this for both the controller package and the copter package. The process the same. You must do both.
4. **Reboot:** Power cycle the Solo and controller once the Solex installation packages have both completed successfully. When they power back on, they will automatically begin a factory reset procedure. Since we just installed Open Solo on the recovery partitions, they are factory resetting to Open Solo! They will then automatically execute a second update procedure, cleanly installing Open Solo on the system partition.
- You will likely hear the Pixhawk reboot tones twice. You may hear the firmware success happy tones from the pixhawk as well. All normal.
- You will likely hear the Pixhawk reboot 4 to 5 times. You may hear the firmware success happy tones from the pixhawk as well. All normal.
- You will likely see the controller reboot and say update success twice. This is also normal.
- It is difficult to know exactly what stage it is at since it can't speak and isn't telepathic. The process takes about 8-10 minutes on both the solo and the controller. So just wait about 10 minutes.
- If you have a green cube, the lights will not accurately indicate what is going on! They will be "stuck" blinking whatever they were last doing, probably the disco lights. This is normal, because the driver is not enabled until after loading parameters later. It's ok.

- If you have a green cube, the lights should switch to "aviation mode" after the 4th or 5th reboot, which is good indication it is done. Thre is no such indication for the stock cube, so just go by the 4 or 5 reboots.
5. **Pair:** Hit the pair button under the Solo with a small pointy poking apparatus like a paper clip for 2 seconds to get the controller and solo re-paired. When the controller tells you it has detected the solo, hold the A and B button for 3 seconds... which is the second set of vibrations... until the the screen says pairing in progress.

6. **Reconnect mobile device:** You will need to reconnect your mobile device to Solo's WiFi now. Since it did a factory reset, the Solo and controller are using their default WiFi SSID and password (the default password is `sololink`).

- If you have the HERE gps/compass, load the _HERE Parameters_ package.
- If you have the landing gear mod, load the _Landing Gear Parameters__ package.
- Reboot the solo after loading all the applicable packages.
8. In the Solex vehicle settings menu, you can verify everything installed by scrolling to the bottom and looking at the listed version information. Controller and Vehicle should say 2.4.9 for now since I can't put "-RCx") in it. Controller FW should say Open Solo 2.5-RCx. And autopilot FW should say 1.5.3 for a stock cube, and 3.5.x for a green cube.
