Whenever new coin support is added or bug fix has been made, a new firmware will be available for installation. Your mobile app will show an indication when a newer version of the firmware is released.
24 words were provided during the Initial Setup of your Biometric Wallet and you have written them down on the recovery card. Make sure you still have the recovery card. Unlike other products, your wallet will still remain safely intact inside the secure chip even after updating the firmware. This means that you don't need to recover your wallet every time you update the firmware as other products requires you to do. (Keep your recovery card secured and ready just in case your Biometric Wallet is no longer accessible, possibly due to "brick"ed device or something that went wrong during the update process.)
Firmware update will take approximately 5 ~ 10 minutes to complete.
✅ Firmware can ONLY be updated from using a personal computer running a 64bit OS (Windows or Mac).
✅ Must use Google Chrome browser.
✅ Must use a USB cable that is capable of data transfer. (If your Biometric Wallet's charging port is Micro USB 5 PIN Type, we recommend using the USB cable included in the package box)
✅ The latest version of D'CENT bridge program is installed and running on your computer.
If there is no D'CENT bridge program installed on your computer, download and install the latest version of the bridge program respective to the OS running on your computer.
