Oppkey Commentary
Prior to this firmware, there was no error message for the THETA X compass calibration. When the THETA X compass needed calibration, you could need get the error even in state. The compass is needed to get the camera heading for orientation.
if you need to reset the compass, refer to this video. Although the video is for the THETA Z1, the same process works for the X.
Refer to this article for information on how to extract the GPSImgDirection from the THETA X image metadata.
