I’m probably text illiterate, but I’m trying to download these old app versions to my iPhone. When I do I get a blank white file in my downloads that, when I open it, just displays v1.1.1 or v1.4.0 on my screen but I can’t turn that into an app. Please help anyone!YEAHHHHH, thanks for the suggestion, works also for me and finally fixed this mess!!!
Just to summarize:
- delete the original Tello App from your phone
- download the 1.1.1 version (link here Download Tello 1.1.1 Android APK) straight on your mobile device
- install the App just by opening the downloaded APK file and then open the App
- download through the App the latest firmware
- with a full charged battery, turn on the Tello drone in "reset mode" (keep pressed the power-on button until green led stays on, then when the light turns off release the power button: now the led keeps blinking red and you can connect to the drone's wifi)
- connect the drone to the App and install the new firmware on it (now you will not receive the "less than 50% battery" error!!!!!!!)
- the drone is now correctly working again, so you can also delete the V1.1.1 App and install the latest one from the App store
ENJOY

Same issue on iPhone. I talked with Ryze. They again first wanted me to send in the Tello for "repair." I insisted it was a firmware glitch, and told them the problem was all over the internet and could be fixed by using the earlier Tello app 1.1.1 . They obviously know of issue but are not willing to admit it, at least at first. However, when I persisted, I was finally told they would send me a the fix for an Android phone! Then I said I had iPhone. She said there was no patch for iPhone and reverted to the script saying I needed to send in the phone for "repair." (This makes no sense since they admit they can fix the issue with firmware for an Android, but there it is.) Hopefully they will fix with the next update IF everyone who has this problem calls Ryze tech support to make it known .
GOD BLESS YOU Its 2022, I had mind busting problem. I was searching for like few months for a solution. DJI just ignored me like they didn't care at all.
Awesome if I can get this to work. However my phone is too new to install such old app. Gotta aquire a suitably aged android phone to install app. Not too old and not too new.
EDIT: IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6 months of searching solutiton and NOW IT WORKS! Deep bow to you Sir. (And your English is just fine)
P.S. For those who cannot make this work you need an older phone. This old Samsung Galaxy A03s has Android version 13.
