DO NOT UPDATE YOUR COLDCARD
Many verified reports from community members that the software updates are permanently bricking devices. Move funds FIRST and do not use these devices again.

Can you substantiate these reports?
Yes I have personally as a community leader talked to 4 of our members who had either a MK4 or MK3 brick on updating
Specifically on the previous update - no reports of this new update because everybody already updated/bricked their device or migrated already
I haven’t been able to get a straight answer from them on the mechanism by which they are intermittently and spontaneously bricking after firmware update and old seed destruction. Just an offer of a discount for an MK5. MK4 no longer on the store page.
1 out of 5 units after 5.6.0
Oh geez
Any new reports of bricking on 5.6.1?
Not yet since it was just released - but I would say anywhere from 1/4 and 1/5 were bricking from updates - could be more as we advised everyone to NOT update after we got the first initial reports
They are not helping users by shipping shit software updates - they should have simply advised client to move funds - the shitshow continues
Huh. Both updates worked fine for me.
ColdCard shooting crazy from the field this season. 🤙

I’ll wait for the next minor firmware revision. I’m already updated for the RNG thing
Happy to hear - you were one of the lucky ones
Ditto
I saw the replies to CoinKite's announcement of their new firmware update on Twitter. Comments quite spicy. Many reporting their last firmware bricked their device. CoinKite says to reach out to their official support channels.
I mean "bricked" is "bricked", but I'm wondering if any of the people who did brick their device on the new fw have contacted CoinKite. I'm curious what CoinKite tells them.
