Trezor Suite Not Detecting Your Device — Step-by-Step Fix
Trezor Suite can't find your device? Use the desktop app, swap to a data cable and direct port, and unlock the device.
Introduction
TL;DR
- Use the Trezor Suite desktop app — it's the most reliable connection method.
- Connect with a data cable directly to the computer, not a hub.
- Unlock the device and confirm prompts on its screen.
- Update Suite and firmware; try another port or computer if it still fails.
Use the desktop app
The Trezor Suite desktop application avoids browser quirks and is the most dependable way to connect. If you're using the web version and it fails, switch to desktop.
Data cable and direct port
Use a cable that carries data (not charge-only) and plug directly into the computer. Hubs, docks, and monitor ports frequently fail to establish a data connection.
Unlock and confirm on the device
Unlock the device and respond to any on-device prompts. Suite waits for you to confirm actions physically on the Trezor.
Browser and connection components
If you must use a browser, use a supported one and allow the WebUSB permission. Ensure any required connection component for your setup is installed and up to date.
Update and isolate the fault
Install the latest Suite and follow any firmware prompt. If detection still fails, try a different cable, port, or computer to isolate whether it's the device or the environment.
