How to upgrade your Ledger Nano/HW.1

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

I am trying to follow this, but I don't have a qr code to scan on my recovery sheet. The recovery sheet only has my 24 words on it - that's all. How do I get a private key from my 24 word phrase?

The 24 words is an encrypted hash of your private key. At the top of your recovery sheet there should be a 32 character hexadecimal code that is your private key for that device. This is the code you will be prompted for.
