Step 1: Make sure you have the latest firmware downloaded. Most of the time, this error occurs because you are running a previous version, and the connection between your device is weak.

Step 2: If the problem is still not fixed after you download the latest firmware, you may need to uninstall your apps because you likely have an outdated version.

When you uninstall an app, you will not lose any of your coins.

Step 5: A popup will appear that will give you the specific details of the upgrade. After you have read the features, you can click the blue button located on the bottom right that says, “Continue.”

Step 6: After you have clicked “Continue,” your device will start processing, which might take a few minutes to complete.

Step 8: Your device will now say “Update” as it is updating the software. Once the screen goes black you can disconnect the USB cable and then replug it back in while pushing and holding the left button down.

Step 9: Once you see the below image, you can release the button.
