A SafePal firmware update should always be performed carefully because your wallet's recovery phrase is essential if something goes wrong during the upgrade process.

Keeping your hardware wallet updated can help you access new features, supported cryptocurrencies, and other improvements. SafePal regularly releases firmware updates for its hardware wallet products, including the S1, S1 Pro, and X1. To know more Contact Us: +1 (866) 381-0305, +1 (888) 682-9407

Why Update SafePal Firmware?

Firmware updates can introduce new features, improve the user experience, and add support for additional assets.

For example, SafePal's August 2026 firmware releases for the S1, S1 Pro, and X1 added support for XRP tokens and included user-experience improvements. 

Back Up Your Recovery Phrase First

Before beginning a firmware update, make sure your wallet's mnemonic or recovery phrase is safely backed up.

SafePal specifically advises users to ensure that their mnemonic phrase is securely backed up before an upgrade to avoid potential loss caused by an unsuccessful update.

Never enter your recovery phrase into a website or give it to another person claiming to provide technical support.

How to Perform a SafePal Firmware Update

The exact procedure depends on your SafePal hardware model. For the SafePal S1, SafePal's official instructions involve downloading the appropriate firmware to a computer, entering upgrade mode, and transferring the firmware file to the device.
