How to Check Firmware from Trezor.io/Start

After setting up your Trezor device at Trezor.io/Start, one of the most important steps is making sure your firmware is up to date. Firmware is the built-in software that powers your Trezor wallet, and keeping it updated ensures security, compatibility, and access to the latest features.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to check your firmware version and update it if needed using the Trezor.io/Start process:

Step 1: Go to Trezor.io/Start

• Open a trusted browser (like Chrome or Firefox).
• Manually type and visit: trezor.io/start
• Select your device model (Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T).
• You’ll be guided to either use the web interface or download Trezor Suite.

Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device

• Plug in your Trezor wallet via USB.
• Unlock it by entering your PIN.
• Wait for the device to be recognized by the Trezor site or Suite.

Step 3: Launch Trezor Suite

• If you haven’t already installed it, download Trezor Suite from the instructions shown on the site.
• Open Trezor Suite once it’s installed.
• The app will automatically detect your device and show its status.

Step 4: View Firmware Status

Once inside Trezor Suite:

• On the home screen, look for a message at the top or in the dashboard.
  • If your firmware is up to date, you’ll see “Firmware is up to date.”
  • If not, you’ll be prompted to update immediately.
• You can also go to Settings > Device to view the current firmware version number.

Step 5: Update Firmware (If Needed)

If an update is available:

1. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin.
2. Confirm the update on your Trezor device.
3. The device will reboot into bootloader mode and install the new firmware.
4. Once completed, the device will restart and be ready for use.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Device not recognized? Make sure Trezor Bridge or Suite is installed and running.
• Stuck on bootloader? Let the update finish or reconnect the device if necessary.
• Antivirus conflict? Temporarily disable third-party antivirus or firewalls that may block communication.

Conclusion

Checking your firmware from Trezor.io/Start is simple when using Trezor Suite. The platform alerts you automatically if your device is out of date and guides you through a secure update process.
