🔄 How to Update SafePal S1 Hardware Wallet (Step-by-Step)
⚠️ Important Note:
Before starting the update, back up your recovery phrase (12/18/24 words). You will not lose your assets, but always keep a secure backup of your seed phrase in case of unexpected issues.
✅ Requirements Before You Begin
- A SafePal S1 hardware wallet
- A microSD card (≤32GB, FAT32 format)
- A computer or laptop with internet access
- Latest firmware files from the official SafePal website
📥 Step 1: Download Firmware Update File
- Go to the official SafePal website:
https://www.safepal.com/download
- Download the latest firmware version (.zip file) for the SafePal S1 wallet.
- Unzip the downloaded file on your computer. You’ll see a folder with the update files.
💾 Step 2: Prepare Your microSD Card
- Insert a FAT32-formatted microSD card (32GB or less) into your computer.
- Copy the unzipped firmware folder (not the .zip itself) directly to the root directory of the microSD card (do not place it inside another folder).
- Safely eject the microSD card from your computer.
🔌 Step 3: Insert the microSD Card Into SafePal S1
- Power off the SafePal S1 device.
- Insert the microSD card into the slot on the left side of the device.
- Turn on the SafePal S1 wallet.
⚙️ Step 4: Start the Firmware Update
- After turning on the device, the screen will automatically detect the update files.
- You’ll be prompted to confirm the firmware update. Select "Confirm".
- The update process will begin. It usually takes 2–5 minutes.
- Once completed, the wallet will reboot automatically and load the updated system.
📱 Step 5: Reconnect to the SafePal App
- Open the SafePal mobile app on your smartphone.
- Reconnect the S1 wallet by scanning the pairing QR code again.
- If needed, re-add your asset accounts and settings. Your coins will still be linked to your private key (as long as your recovery phrase is secure).
🛡️ Tips for Safe Updating
- Only download firmware from safepal.com
- Do not power off or remove the SD card during the update
- Never share your recovery phrase during or after the update
