FrSky R-XSR Binding Issue Fix EU LBT Firmware (English)

The preinstalled and current (171009 as of 2017-11-07) firmware version from the FrSky homepage does not work with the Taranis Q X7 (EU, LBT firmware versions). The binding is unsuccessful. The red, green and blue LED have a solid light. Here is a short video how to diagnose and fix that issue. The firmware files can be downloaded at FrSky Homepage: https://www.frsky-rc.com/r-xsr/

During binding, the RX shows a solid green, red and blue light. The blinking red light indicates that the bind process was unsuccessful.
At this time, the most recent version is 171009. This version does not work, at least the EU / LBT Version. You will find a link in the description for an alternative sources of the file, which contains an unreleased version FW-RXSRLBT171103. Please use at own risk.
After downloading the file, just unpack it and copy it into the “FIRMWARE” Folder at the SD Card of the Q X7. The file only contains the EU Version, not the international Version. Just eject the SD Card and put it into your Q X7 Transmitter.
We now have our SD card with the firmware, the RX and the cable ready for flashing. The cable was part of the delivery and normally does not require repining. Right is the singnal, middle plus 5V and left GND. We put in the SD Card, connect the Cable to the TX. It can’t really put in the wrong direction because auf the notch. Finally plug in the RX and we can continue by switching on the TX.
Long press the menu button, press page once. Go to the firmware folder. We see the 171103 Version. Go into that folder and long-press on the firmware file and flash external device.
There is no “successfully flashed” screen. When you this screen again it went fine. Unplug cable and receiver. Exit out of the menu, go into you model and start the bind process. When you can see the red LED blinking, it’s a good sign. Plug the RX off and on again to see a flickering green light which indicated an active communication between TX and RX. And you can already see the telemetry data.
