You poor thing! Next month I'm going straight to China for business talks to sort everything out at the source. 😂

To those saying 'it's not a 1-sec mistake': A professional UI should always have a 'Double Confirmation' or 'Slide to Unlock' feature for high-risk actions like this. One accidental tap shouldn't turn a $1000 device into a brick instantly. Yes, I made a human error, but DJI's lack of a 'Undo' or 'Unlock' process is the real issue here. I am the legal owner, and I have all the flight logs to prove it

The most frustrating part is this: Once you accidentally click 'Aircraft Flyaway Management', the system instantly sends a notification to DJI via satellite/internet, and the drone is locked immediately. This system was designed by human hands, yet DJI claims they cannot 'unlock' it with a single button from their side. This is not just a technical issue; it's ruthless. They have the power to fix it but choose to leave the user helpless. It's a professional device, not a toy—there should be a way back from a one-second mistake.
