Firmware & Announcement Updates
How to Run a Ledger Firmware Update — Ledger Live Step-by-Step
Ledger firmware updates run from Ledger Live, with confirmations on the device itself.
Steps
- Back up the recovery phrase — verify you can read all 24 words.
- Update Ledger Live to the latest version.
- Connect the device via known-good cable or Bluetooth.
- Open My Ledger; Ledger Live detects the pending update.
- Click update; confirm each prompt on the device.
- Wait — do not unplug or close the app.
- When the device reboots and Ledger Live confirms 'up to date', run the Genuine Check.
If it fails mid-update
Don't panic. The device will boot into Recovery Mode. Reopen Ledger Live and follow the prompts to reinstall firmware. Then restore accounts.
Safety reminder: Use only the official Ledger site and Ledger Live. Never type your recovery phrase or PIN into a webpage and never share them with anyone. Pause and verify the moment anything looks unusual.
