Nano Ledger S (contract data enabled)

This Issue has been resolved.
Currently the solution is to downgrade the EOS app on the nano ledger from 1.4.2 to 1.4.1

As found here

STEPS:
Uninstall your EOS app, and then switch Ledger Live to provider 4 (Settings/Experimental Features/Manager Provider/4)
Go back to Manager, EOS 1.4.1 should be available. Install it

Thanks for the follow up and asking the Ledger team!

Multiple people have approached me with this same issue. For the time being, I’ll refer them to this as the solution.

@Raccoon I tried this - did not work. I followed these steps -
Uninstall your EOS app, and then switch Ledger Live to provider 4 (Settings/Experimental Features/Manager Provider/4)
I don’t see EOS 1.4.1 - 1.4.2 is the only option to install.

Strange. I uninstalled the EOS app on the ledger itself and not on Ledger Live perhaps that might make a difference. Also try closing Ledger Live after switching to provider 4, then after restarting the app download the EOS app (no matter the version number) and then try use your Nano Ledger to sign permissions/change key transactions to see if it works.

Just tried the method described in your post and can confirm that it works.
Thanks.

@mgbtcfv I just tried the method that @Raccoon posted and it worked for me.
If it’s still not working for you, this is exactly what I did:

  1. Deleted all apps from the Ledger Nano S
  2. Switched Ledger Live app to Provider 4 as described above.
  3. Restarted Ledger Live
  4. Connected the Ledger Nano S to Ledger Live
  5. Searched for EOS App in Ledger Live and installed version 1.4.1. It was the only option available
  6. Enabled Contract Data on the Ledger Nano S
  7. Closed Ledger Live.
  8. Connected the Nano S to Anchor and proceeded to update permissions on my account without any problems.

I was using Ledger Live version 2.32.2 on Ubuntu.

Hope that helps.

Can you then reinstall all the apps that were deleted or do you have to change the Provider back to the original state?

thanks

You can reinstall the apps again.

EOS doesn’t show up as an available app after going to “Provider 4” in the settings.

Only thing I see when searching “EOS” is “REOSC(REOSC) version 1.9.12-xdc” which is not EOS.

Does this fix still work?

Weird, I think it still works. I just did a fresh install of Ledger Live on a new machine, went into Experimental Settings, enabled the manage provider section and changed it to 4, and do still see the old app:

1.3.1 as far as I know is the version that still works.

Not saying it’s not happening for you, but I think it might still be possible.

I also don’t see Eos app on Nano X manager provider 4 i only see REOSC

ahh, yes im using Nano X as well. Maybe that is the issue

I’m using Nano S and when changing the manager provider to 4, no EOS app is showing up, there’s only four apps.

Any clues on what might be happening?

BTW shouldn’t this have been fixed already on a newer version, it’s been 6 months since the problem was found? Does anyone know if this app is still supported?

I wish it was - the individual who built that app isn’t actively maintaining it, and the Ledger team hasn’t resolved the bug yet either.

We have some working groups doing research on some of the major outstanding issues in EOSIO to find individuals/teams to resolve them, and this is one of the issues on the list.

I’m also not sure why it’s disappeared. It still shows in my list with I use manager provider 4… :thinking:

Not sure what to tell you - the Ledger team that manages that directory of apps would probably be the only ones who know if there was some change that removed it in some situations. I’d ask them but I don’t have a line of communication open with them at this point.

That’s great to hear.

If I had to guess I’d say it has something to do with the Ledger firmware version. I upgraded to the newest version available before trying anything.

I also sent a message to the Ledge support team explaining everything and asking if there is someway to downgrade the EOSIO APP on ledger. I guess I’ll have to wait for them to answer then.

But thanks for the response! I’ll update here when they give any update on the matter.

That might actually part of it. I wonder if older firmwares for whatever reason can see the app :thinking:

Thanks, please do! I’ve talked with others who have run into this issue as well.

Well, after some back and forth with the Ledger support, their final answer is that it is not supported to downgrade the EOS APP version and since it is maintained by the EOS community I should ask for help here.

So probably I’ll just have to wait for this to get addressed by you guys, thanks!

damn… I’m still stuck on this error and it’s really starting to impact my ability to do what I’d like to on chain! ugh

From what I can tell I have to find an old nano that has not had its firmware upgraded in order to work around this issue? :thinking: :disappointed:
