5 Steps to Update Your Ledger Wallet to the LATEST Firmware
You have a Ledger Nano X/S hardware wallet device and are looking to store more cryptocurrencies; however, you realised that you need to update the wallet to the latest firmware version before actually using it.
Updating firmware is a MUST for cryptocurrency wallets.
There should be no compromise on this. This is a security matter and must be addressed immediately if you are a hardware wallet user. A hardware wallet with outdated firmware is exposing itself to security flaws.
How to update the Ledger Nano X/S to the latest Firmware version
This article will show you the five (5) quick and simple steps to update the firmware of your Ledger wallet device.
Step 1. Connect your Ledger device to Ledger Live
Download the Ledger Live desktop app if you haven’t. Open the app.
Connect your Ledger device to your computer via a USB connection. When you purchase your Ledger Nano X or S hardware wallet, it comes with a micro-USB to USB cable. Use this provided cable that is included in the box.
If the firmware version of your Ledger wallet is outdated, within the Ledger Live interface, it will show you the following message; <Update Firmware to x.x.x is available>
Click <Update firmware> to continue the process.
Ledger Live shows that a new firmware update is available.
Step 2. Confirm Firmware Update
You will see this message (below image) that reminds you that you should have your 24-word recovery phrase with you securely; in case the firmware update encounters any technical problem, there is a possibility that it might corrupt your hardware wallet.
Although the risk is minimal, it is always good to check if you still have your 24-word recovery phrase from Ledger. This is provided to you by the Ledger device when you first set up your Ledger wallet for the first time.

How to update Ledger Nano S & Nano X firmware – Upgrade Ledger Nano device
Is your Ledger Nano device out of date? Here in this beginners guide you’ll learn how to upgrade your Ledger wallet’s firmware.
Just like how you keep your softwares up to date you also need to keep your hardware device up to date. Upgrading the device firmware enhances security, improves performance, add fixes and improves the overall user experience. So it is essential that you update your Ledger crypto wallet firmware.
Previously we’ve explained how to update Trezor wallet firmware. Similar to that guide here let’s see how to upgrade Ledger Nano S and Ledger Nano X devices to the latest firmware update.
This is a general firmware upgrade guide for Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S.
Updating the device firmware is quite simple. All you have to do is install Ledger Live, open up the Ledger Live application, connect your Nano device, go to the manager section, start the firmware update and follow the on screen instructions on Ledger Live to complete the upgrade.
But before you perform the update you need to take some precautions. We’ll explain that and we’ll also share some tips on keeping everything up to date.
So why to upgrade, when to update and how to update the firmware?
Ledger firmware updates
Just like how a good piece of software regularly receives updates; Ledger also releases new firmware from time to time for your hardware device. Whenever Ledger rolls out a new firmware you need to update your Ledger device.
Here are some of the benefits of keeping your hardware wallet up to date.
Every firmware update brings in additional advantages like:
New features, bug fixes, enhanced security settings, improved privacy features, improvement in user interface, support for latest coins, tokens and network upgrades. Also support for new cryptographic algorithms and bringing in several user experience improvements. For Nano X it can offer better battery performance and feature a faster Bluetooth transfer rate.
Ledger releases new firmware updates separately for both Ledger Nano X and Nano S. Read the release notes to find out more about the particular firmware update and the changes that it brings in.
Now Ledger firmware releases aren’t on the GitHub. You won’t find link to the GitHub for each release like its available for Trezor and other open source wallets. Release notes are only posted on the official website.
Also basically to update Ledger Nano firmware to the latest version you need the Ledger live desktop app. Once you connect your device to Ledger live you’ll see a notification banner telling you to update your device to the latest firmware version. It will display the release notes with all the features and fixes the latest firmware update brings in to your device.
Additionally you can also follow Ledger on social sites to get the latest updates.
Note: Beware of phishing sites and fake social media profiles. Always make sure you are downloading softwares from the official website.
Also if you are planning to buy a new Ledger device then buy it from the official website here:
Never buy hardware wallets from unauthorized dealers and never buy it from Amazon, E-Bay or Alibaba.
When to update Ledger device firmware?
No matter whether the device is new or old you need to check and ensure that the device is running the latest software and all the installed apps are up to date. At least do it for the sake of security of your hardware device.
We are seeing a lot of people keep running the same old version without updating. There are few reasons for this.
1. Coins gone from Ledger Nano after firmware upgrade
Previously when performing a firmware upgrade Ledger wipes out everything from your wallet. This was a security measure designed to prevent hackers from stealing coins by updating Ledger Nano to a tampered firmware that could reveal the secret keys.
After the upgrade is done you’ll have to manually restore the device using your 24 word recovery seed phrase. Here is a guide to restore Ledger device from secret recovery phrase. After restoring; all your coins and tokens will be available again.
But this is not the case anymore. With latest firmware updates Ledger live automatically restores all your assets and accounts once the firmware upgrade is complete.
Note: People who have lost their coins after firmware upgrade are the ones those who haven’t backed up their device. Always remember no matter what happens to your device you will never lose your coins if you have your secret recovery backup phrase safe.
2. Device glitches, resets during update
This is another main reason why users get stressed out when doing the firmware upgrade. There have been times where upgrading firmware have caused issues with the device. Some might experience glitches and some may face trouble accessing their device and the coins. These are very rare and it mainly occurs when there is a power failure during the firmware update process.
In worst case your device could glitch and you’ll temporarily lose access to your accounts. You can easily resolve this by resetting device and restoring the wallet using recovery phrase.
Again remember that as long as you have the 24 word back up mnemonic recovery phrase, you are not going to lose your crypto. You can always restore your device whenever necessary.
3. Concerned about dodgy phishing attempt
Ledger keeps rolling out new firmware for your device from time to time. Most of the time when you open Ledger live you’ll find a notification at the top saying that there is a new firmware version for download.
There are users who assume that it could be a phishing attack. Because previously users of electrum have suffered through this where they’ve downloaded malicious app and lost their coins. You can read more about it here.
This is why you always need to verify the app before using. Here is how to check hash and verify PGP signature of Ledger Live.
Also is Ledger Nano safe and can we trust their firmware release as everything is kept closed source? Because you’ll never know what kind of malicious codes are running on the device. This is another common doubt amount Ledger users and this is why we recommend Trezor – A secure open source wallet.
Anyways Ledger firmware is proprietary. Every new release is rigorously tested and is also certified by several third parties. Also there is bug bounty program from Ledger so many white hat hackers are regularly testing the software for vulnerabilities.
To know more check out the following links:
Anyways just be on the safer side don’t rush in and update your ledger for a week or so after you see the “new firmware update” reminder. Wait few days for the community feedback. If there is no reports or complaints on the latest firmware then you can proceed to update your device.
How to update the firmware on your Ledger Nano S & Nano X
Updating Ledger Nano firmware can be quite a nerve racking process but don’t be afraid to update. It’s always a best practice to keep your device and software up to date. Failing to update may not be bad in the short term. But running the same old version for years might cause issues.
So what happens if I don’t touch the device for more than a year? Is it going to cause problems when updating the firmware? If you haven’t used your device in years then probably you might be using older firmware (earlier version of the firmware like ex: 1.1.5).
In such case it won’t let you update the firmware directly through ledger live. You’ll have to reset the device and update the firmware to new version. This is why it is advised to take the device out every now and then atleast to run firmware updates.
If your old device is not updating or causing troubles then you’ll have to buy a new Ledger and restore your current wallet using the 24 words recovery phrase. Having a backup ledger wallet is a good strategy. Just in case if you mess up the original wallet you can have a peace of mind knowing that you have a backup device to access your coins.
Anyways here are some precautions to note before your upgrade your Ledger Nano firmware to the latest version.
Before you start firmware upgrade
As we said updating Ledger firmware does not reset your recovery phrase anymore. But just to stay safe never ever update your ledger firmware if you don’t have your recovery seed phrase with you. If you are using passphrase then you need that information as well.
We recommend testing your backup recovery phrase to ensure if you got the right backup before you proceed with the upgrade. Here is how to check mnemonic seed backup on Ledger. If the test is successful then proceed with the upgrade. If not then setup a new Ledger device, backup your new wallet and transfer all your funds to the new device.
Now to update Ledger device to the latest firmware version you need Ledger Live. You can download it from the official website here: https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live/download
Note: Beware of phishing links. After you download verify the Ledger live app to ensure if the software is genuine.
Ledger live software is available for both desktop and mobile. But to perform the firmware upgrade you need the desktop version.
If you are a Nano X user then you might be using Ledger Live Bluetooth option with your phone. You can also use your iPad and iPhone with your Nano X using Bluetooth. However you cannot update the Nano X device with your iPad/iPhone via Bluetooth. Unfortunately the mobile Ledger live application does not support firmware updates. So you cannot update the firmware using your phone. You either need a desktop or a laptop to perform the firmware upgrade.
What if I don’t own a laptop or desktop?
It doesn’t have to be your computer. You can use any computer to do this. You can also use your friend’s computer to perform the upgrade. Its completely safe. Just install Ledger live on their PC or laptop, connect your device and run the firmware update. Once the upgrade is successful you can uninstall the Ledger live from their machine.
Once the device is done with the firmware update you can safely disconnect your Ledger. Just connecting the device to Ledger Live won’t let your friend to access your crypto and there is no way for you to access your friend’s crypto. This operation is completely safe. However it can cause some personal issues. As they say “friendship and money don’t mix”. By doing this operation if something goes wrong with your friends device they are going to blame you and you’ll blame your friend if something wrong happens to your device.
So if you are holding thousands of dollars worth of crypto then its advisable to buy a cheap laptop for a few hundred dollars at least to mange your crypto related stuff.
Alright let’s now update the firmware on your Ledger Nano S and Ledger Nano X. The procedure is same but anyways let’s first start with Ledger Nano S.
