Topic: Ledger Firmware 1.6.0 - Known Bugs and Issues - page 3. (Read 714 times)
I updated my Ledger Nano S to firmware version 1.6 last night. I had no issues during the update process. Since I had version 1.5.5 before there was no need to uninstall my installed apps, Ledger took care of all that. The wallet was fully operational after the update and didn't reset.
So how do you ever update anything? You'd need to wait until the update to the update was tested...
I have never seen a new firmware from ledger comes with a beta program. This was clearly a different update, a big one.
I decided to wait and I didn't regret
Sometimes the same firmware version stays for months without any update and no beta program. This is not the case and soon they will release a new update , probably
It was a major update and you can see it with the version numbers
V.a.b.c
Usually only C digit increases, but B indicates an update more important, and A a totally new version.
Not sure if I'm totally correct but it works like this in the dev. environment. There are always a beta phase before any update, but this beta phase was public
By the way, I have been able to update a device to 1.6.0 without a problem.
except for me not realising that Ledger Live doesn't support BCH "CashAddr" address format and thinking something was broken! 
Thanks for your feedback! I wonder why Ledger is taking so long to accept the new BCH addresses, haven't they been around for like 2 years already?
They did take a lot of time to offer support for native segwit as well.
I do partly agree with bitmover. I don't like to be among the first group to apply a new update. I'd rather hang back and see what happens just in case they discover a serious flaw. Last time I connected my Ledger there still was no update to firmware 1.6 and I am OK with that. I am not in a hurry. Ill try again in a week or two.

Honestly, I haven't had any issues with the 1.6.0 firmware... except for me not realising that Ledger Live doesn't support BCH "CashAddr" address format and thinking something was broken!
The update went super smooth, the device wasn't reset and it's been running just fine ever since.
The 1.6.0 firmware has been out for quite a while now... and there haven't been any super critical issues... a few connections issues with a couple of Altcoin wallets is hardly cause for concern.

Just avoid updating any firmware until some time passed and they fixed the bugs. With every software or hardware..
So how do you ever update anything? You'd need to wait until the update to the update was tested... but wait, that new update might have bugs... so you'd better wait for the update to the update to the update... oh... but what if that update also has bugs? Better wait for the update to the update to the update to the update... ad infinitum!

Seems that several different users are reporting connection issues to the newly installed apps in the 1.6 firmware. Here is another one that just popped up.
He probably wanted to say Nov 22 but messed up the month.

Don't update your Ledger firmware to version 1.6.0, i was about to update mine
This is so obvious. I told that a few times ago. There was even a beta program
Why the hell would someone risk your own coins to participate in a beta?
Ok, maybe you are not risking them.. but they may become unavailable for you to spend for some time if some woerd bug happens.
Just avoid updating any firmware until some time passed and they fixed the bugs. With every software or hardware..
Feel free to offer your advice how to best go about doing this.

IMO people should make sure they've made backup of their mnemonic/recovery phrase before risking update to version 1.6.0, even if i doubt the storage will be corrupted or wiped out.
Ledger has recently updated their firmware to version 1.6 and it is slowly becoming available to users over the Ledger Live App.
Since there will probably be some bugs and issues I thought we could have one place where these problems can be discussed and solutions offered on how to fix them.

i have the same problem as you; everything worked well until i installed firmware 1.6; installation went well but not possible anymore to access the btc app on the wallet; of course it has to be related with the firmware and NOT with the cable as everything worked well before; i opened a ticket at Ledger and awaiting answer

So i updated Ledger Live, updated the firmware on my Ledger Nano S, synced up, everything is fine...
I have Stratis on my Ledger Nano S and wanted to take some of it out after a very long time and during the reinstallation of the Stratis app i got into a problem... I installed the app and i get to adding accounts. When i press "add Stratis" it asks me to connect and unlock my Ledger device, the next step is "Open the Stratis app" but when i do it gets me straight back to "Connect and unlock your ledger device" and nothing is happening...
Any ideas?
/EDIT: I actually can't access my Bitcoin wallet either now, when i open the app it goes back to "connect your ledger wallet".

Please check if activating "Experimental USB" in the experimental features of Ledger Live fixes the issue
