Device Disconnects Mid-Update — What to Do
Overview: Device Disconnects Mid-Update — What to Do — here are the key points in plain English.
Key takeaway: Updates should be driven from inside the official app — back up first, run the checks in order and restart the device when prompted.
Action steps:
- Keep USB/Bluetooth stable — don't unplug mid-update.
- If the device disconnects, leave it in recovery mode and re-open Ledger Live.
- Resume the update through the My Ledger entry.
- If the update cannot resume, reinstall firmware via Ledger Live.
- Restore accounts with the recovery phrase once firmware is stable.
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.
