After a Ledger firmware update, connection checks should stay ordered: app state, cable or Bluetooth path, permission, and device screen. This keeps the review practical and avoids changing every condition at once.

Confirm the app state
Open Ledger Wallet from a stable entry and confirm that the app is ready for the next device task. If app entry or version context is unclear, use Ledger Wallet Download and Installation Guide.
Review the connection path again
A firmware update can be followed by a reconnect step. Check cable, port, or Bluetooth path separately. The PC order is described in Why Ledger Will Not Connect to a PC.
Match prompts with the device screen
Read the Ledger device screen after the reconnect attempt. If the app and screen are not aligned, return to the app entry and repeat only one condition.
Record what changed after the update
Write down the app state, device model, connection path, permission state, and device-screen wording. This gives the next review a clear starting point without private setup material.
After a firmware update, a useful record shows the app state before reconnecting, the path tested, and the device screen after each attempt. The next review can then start from a known state.
