I had this problem a while ago with my grandsons hubsan x4, I sent him loads of spare blades and he put the blades on wrong. 2 were pitching up but the other 2 were pitching down causing it to flip over....just a thought

Are you absolutely sure you have the board orientation correct and motor numbers right.
Have you updated the firmware on the board or changed any settings?
What does it do if you hold it (carefully) and bring the throttle up enough to spin all of the motors up then dip each motor.
The one you dip should speed up.
Post a video if you can, someone may see something you have missed.

What did you end up doing with that quad. Maybe it's Naze32 time.

I am beginning to wonder whether the crash has damaged the FC board.
Can you run the motors from the PC software?
If so I suggest removing the props and run the motors one at a time and make sure the correct motor actually runs.
Maybe the servo wires from the ESCs are hooked up wrong to the board.
Is this the board you have, if so check it, then check it again just to be sure.

Yup that is it... I will double check it again

I cannot be 100% sure but I would not think it matters.
I think it would rely on the gyros/accelerometers for level.
Why not just disconnect it until you know it flys.
I think you need to CAREFULLY do the hold test.
Or maybe do it with the props off initially to see if the motors respond properly.

Rudder is working right but elevator n aileron were working opposite each other when I move elevator the aileron would move and vise versa . I switched the signal wires around between the two on the rx and everything is moving the directions it is supposed to now... only issue iam having now is the cg now

Does it still feel like it wants to tip with the hold test?
CG on a quad is generally just a matter of moving the battery around, what makes you think it is wrong?

Would pay to recalibrate them.
