Guten Tag!

Entschuldigung, wenn diese Frage schon einmal gestellt wurde.

​

Das letzte Mal, dass mein Nano S an einen Computer angeschlossen war, war im Jahr 2018.

Ich habe noch die 24 Seed-Phrasen und die PIN.

Ich möchte ihn jetzt wieder mit meinem (inzwischen) neuen Computer verbinden.

-Hat jemand Erfahrung mit einer so langen „Kaltlagerzeit“? Werde ich da Probleme bekommen?…

-Hat jemand einen Rat für die richtige Reihenfolge, um sicher vorzugehen?

Vielen Dank

as long as you’re certain you have the right 24 words, you’re fine. just plug it in and use it. you might have to update firmwares and software. if the device itself is broken then you still have your 24 words which is the real key.

You would probably not run into problems.
As long as you have your seed available no worries.

First download ledger live
Connect your ledger. It will most definitely ask you to upgrade the firmware.
Sometimes it will reset itself after firmware upgrade so have your seed available.

Looks like you have a ledger with an old firmware. Ledger with old firmware do not work well with Ledger Live and several other apps that connect to the ledger.

If you still have your seed (24 words), then you have three options:

A – Safest option: Keep your old ledger untouched and don’t try to update its firmware yet. Get a new ledger device, enter your seed (24 words), and check that you can recover access to all your accounts using ledger Live or other wallets that can connect to the ledger (there are many!).

– If yes, then you can proceed to update the firmware on your old ledger, and you could use it as a backup by keeping the same seed in both ledgers.

– If no, then your old ledger could be used to recover access to your cryptos (provided that you have its PIN), using various methods that depend on the type of cryptos.

B – More risky option: update the firmware of your old ledger. This could cause it to reset, brick, and wipe its seed (it „should not“ according to Ledger cie, but it sometimes does). If this happens, re-enter your seed phrase in the ledger after the update, and you should be able to access all your old accounts. However, if for some reason your seed is incorrect, or does not match the seed that was in your ledger before the update, this would cause you to permanently lose access to all your crypto. If you have large amounts of cryptos, maybe consider option A, which is safer.

C – Recover all your assets using the device as-is, using various techniques and tools that depend on the type of cryptos (e.g. for BTC, you can use Electrum, etc). The process can be convoluted and time consuming. Sometimes, low-level tools must be used. Then, once all your cryptos have been moved to accounts unrelated to your ledger (e.g. moved to exchanges), update your firmware, see option B.

If your Ledger is too old to have its firmware updated, your only options are A or C.

If you lost your seed (24 words), your only option is option C.

Ledger has a guide on their site for exactly this scenario:

It will work fine. I have done this. Just prepare for a LOT of updates and waiting around.

As long as you have your seedphrase, even if you screw up and brick the device (note, this has never happened to me) you will be OK.

Hi,

I can happily report that I connected my 3 years old Ledger S and it updated without any problems. I had version 1.4 on it so this might be the reason it went very well.

​

Thanks for your support and advice!
