Gopro Hero 4 Session doesn't work with sd card anymore
[ New ]Hello Gopro,
I got a Gopro Hero 4 Session and i used it quite alot in Londen 3 weeks ago and all of a sudden the Gopro doesn't want to respond to any inputs when the SD card is in. When the SD card is out it works just fine... hope you guys can help me ^^'

Re: Gopro Hero 4 Session doesn't work with sd card anymore
[ New ]Thank you for the quick response, @digitalwolffpv. Did you format the SD card prior to saving the UPDATE folder in it? Before putting the SD card back into the camera, it must only contain the UPDATE folder (the extracted one not the .zip downloaded one, named as is, all capitalized letters, no other characters). If you have DCIM, MISC, and other items in the SD card, the update will not work. So make sure that those other items are deleted. Also, the camera must be turned off and be charged to at least 50% before the update process. Is this how you did it?
Thanks!

Hi @digitalwolffpv,
Looks like you need to change your SD card.
You can try to reformat it first though.
Please make sure as well that you're using a recommended SD card.

Hi @digitalwolffpv,
You will only change your SD card if reformatting it won't work.
You can also try to install a new firmware to your camera and see if that will solve the issue.
If issue persist you really have to change your SD card.
Here's how to install a new firmware: https://gopro.com/help/articles/How_To/Software-Update-Instructions-for-HERO4-Session
Follow the manual Update procedure on that website.
If you need step by step assistance call or chat with a GoPro Customer Support Representative: https://gopro.com/help/ContactUs
Regards,

Re: Gopro Hero 4 Session doesn't work with sd card anymore
[ New ]Hello @digitalwolffpv,
Thank you for trying out the suggested steps. We would like to see if the issue you are experiencing is associated to possible errors with the current installation so even if your camera is already with the latest firmware, we recommend still doing the manual update. If after the manual update, and using a recommended SD card the camera will still not work, it would be time to reach out to our Support team for further assistance.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
Marius
