**Step-By-Step Guide For Troubleshooting Ambire**

Going through all these steps won't be necessary for most Ambire issues as most should be fixed by reconnecting - the guide tells you explicitly when to try connecting to Ambire again.

### A. The Basics <a href="#a.-the-basics" id="a.-the-basics"></a>

#### **1. Internet Connection**

If you can't get transaction requests to pop up on your Lattice screen despite approving them in Ambire or you cannot connect your Lattice to the app at all, the first thing to check is whether both your computer and your Lattice are connected to the internet. This can also be the cause of getting stuck on the **"Loading - Connecting..." page** on the Lattice Connector.

{% hint style="info" %}
You don't have to be connected to the same network, but both devices do have to be **online**. You can check your Lattice's connection status directly on the screen in the upper right corner (see the [**firmware reference article**](https://docs.gridplus.io/lattice1/lattice1-firmware-reference) to know what icons to look for).
{% endhint %}

If you're sure you're online, move on to step 2.

#### **2. Check Your Ambire and Lattice Firmware Versions**

The latest Lattice firmware version can always be found in [**this article**](https://docs.gridplus.io/lattice1/lattice1-firmware-reference). If you're not on the latest, just go to **System Preferences → Software Update**. If you cannot see an update available here, make sure your Lattice is [**online**](https://docs.gridplus.io/support/lattice1-wifi-troubleshooting).

To update your Ambire extension, right-click on the **Ambire** icon and select **Manage Extension**. Then enable **Developer mode** in the top right corner and after that, just click on **Update.**

#### **3. Unlock Your SafeCard**

If you're trying to connect a SafeCard wallet to Ambire, the inserted SafeCard has to be **unlocked** prior to initiating the connection - Ambire cannot view or import addresses from a locked card.

Trying to connect with the locked card will result in the **"Failed to get accounts" error**. Unlock your card and try again. If you're not connecting with a card or your card is unlocked, move on to step 4.

#### **4. Incorrect Device ID And/Or Password**

Make sure that you're typing in the **correct device ID** if you see the spinning wheel on the Lattice Connector page (this might also be caused by your Lattice being offline, but this part was written with the assumption that you made sure your Lattice indeed is online as per step 1.

{% hint style="success" %}
You get a new device ID every time you reset the Lattice network module, but you can always **find your active device ID** in the last menu item on the Lattice homescreen.
{% endhint %}

### B. Resetting the Connection <a href="#b.-resetting-the-connection" id="b.-resetting-the-connection"></a>

{% hint style="success" %}
**Make sure you go through steps 5, 6 and 7 in order before you try connecting again!**
{% endhint %}

#### **5. Re-Connect With Ambire**

If your Lattice is online, your inserted SafeCard is unlocked (if you're using one) and you're sure you're typing in the correct device ID and password combination but you're still having issues, it's time to try removing the old connection and all cached data and re-connecting to get a fresh one.

5.1 **Remove the Ambire Permission**

Go to **Permissions** on your Lattice and if you see a Ambire permission there, delete it.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you cannot access **Permissions** on your Lattice (the button will only visually react to being tapped on, but will not show you the Permissions menu), please [**reach out to us** ](https://gridplus.io/contact)before attempting anything else! This is extremely rare and you shouldn't ever see it, but if you do, get in touch.
{% endhint %}

5.2 **Remove Previously Linked Lattice Accounts from Ambire**

On Ambire, go to **Settings**, click on Accounts, then select the **three dots** you see for each account with the GridPlus logo icon next to it and select **Remove account**.

5.3 **Delete Ambire Cache**

On Chrome, copy this to your URL bar: `chrome://settings/clearBrowserData`

And select **Advanced**, **All time** in the Time range and only select **Hosted App Data**.

#### **6. Reset App State on the Lattice Manager**

Here's how:

1. Go to the [**Lattice Manager**](https://lattice.gridplus.io/) URL and scroll down
2. Click to **Settings** and scroll down
3. Click on **Reset App State** and then **Update and Reload**

<figure><img src="https://docs.gridplus.io/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F268056579-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F-MZJQypB4fk8YIsDKCl_%252Fuploads%252FFcYayMVKvInrBCVrFG0g%252Flmdebug.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Dfbefbced-4074-4223-afd0-a6ed5782e810&#x26;width=768&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=c2165e1d&#x26;sv=2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### **7. Delete Local Storage on the Lattice Manager**

{% hint style="info" %}
It's possible local storage will be empty after resetting the app state, so skip this if that's the case. But make sure to double-check this before you try reconnecting with Ambire.
{% endhint %}

Go to the Lattice Manager URL ([**https://lattice.gridplus.io/**](https://lattice.gridplus.io/)) and when there, do this:

**Chrome**: Press F12 on Windows/Linux or Fn + F12 on Mac (opens Developer tools) → Application tab → Local Storage under the storage tab → lattice.gridplus.io → Clear all <img src="https://docs.gridplus.io/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F268056579-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F-MZJQypB4fk8YIsDKCl_%252Fuploads%252Fmr8l1ahRwm9FewuIFYrq%252Fno_entry-removebg-preview.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Dfcfc3e03-86e1-4a8e-bc25-e08921dcd809&#x26;width=40&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=567a3ea4&#x26;sv=2" alt="" data-size="line">

<figure><img src="/files/ml1y5Yp5tR7oPEPEa3VZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You should then be able to go through the [**pairing process**](https://docs.gridplus.io/apps-and-integrations/ambire-wallet/connecting-to-ambire) without any issues.

### C. Nuclear Option <a href="#c.-nuclear-option" id="c.-nuclear-option"></a>

#### **8. Reset Device ID**

If you still cannot connect after going through all the steps above, it's time for the "nuclear option" - connecting with a **new device ID**.

To get a new device ID, you will need to manually **reset your device's router** - which can be done in **System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Reset Router**. This can take a couple of minutes. After this reset is done, you will then need to **re-connect to your WiFi** **network** to have internet access (if you're using WiFi).

{% hint style="info" %}
It was possible to encounter a rare situation in which the **device ID wouldn't change** after you reset the router. If this happens to you, powercycle your Lattice (unplug, plug back in), and try again. Confirm that your GCE version is 0.49.0. If you still can't get a new ID after updating the router and powercycling the device, [**please reach out to us**](https://gridplus.io/contact/).
{% endhint %}

After the device ID is reset, **DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-CONNECT** right away! First, you need to reset the app state and delete local storage on the Lattice Manager as described in steps 6 and 7. Then try connecting again.

#### **9. Reinstall Ambire**

If everything else fails and you still somehow get stuck on a particular error, there's also the possibility of getting a completely fresh Ambire instance installed before attempting to connect again. You will first need to remove the old Ambire extension from your browser/computer completely.

{% hint style="danger" %}
You will **LOSE** all hot accounts/addresses on this Ambire instance that are not backed on hardware! Only do this if you have backups for them.
{% endhint %}

Removing Ambire is fairly simple - just right-click the extension and select **"Remove from Chrome"**. Before installing Ambire again, make sure you removed the Ambire permission from your Lattice and you can also reset app state on the Lattice Manager again - just to be sure.

After you're ready to connect, [**install Ambire again**](https://www.ambire.com/) and connect to it and everything should be fine.
