Anyone have any ideas how I can get past this screen? Pressed all the buttons, nothing happens.
Been at least a year since I’ve switched it on, the firmware is super old, but I can’t update as I can’t get off this screen.

Have you tried to connect with Bluetooth turned on or air gapped?
I wanted to use air-gapped but rn I can’t do anything.
This device worked in the past. All I’ve used it for is to calculate a 24th word checksum, and that is what I want to do now as I am working on a seed-rolling tutorial.
Try the green desktop app? Unfortunately that means you are going to need a usb connection.
Either connect to a laptop with the original USB cable or connect to an iPhone over Bluetooth.
Then upgrade the firmware over and over again until one of the attempts succeeds.
The stock firmware on those old devices are so badly broken. I've been there. This is the only thing that worked.
Once you've gotten the firmware upgraded it should work much more smoothly.
To upgrade the firmware you might have to initialize a wallet first. Just do it quickly with 12 words and no passphrase.
Afterwords you can factory reset.
Problem is, I can’t initialize as I can’t get off that screen
Thanks for the response. I was hoping to keep it air-gapped, but sounds like that may not be an option.
I can’t activate the blue tooth (which is currently disabled) since I can’t get off that screen.
I guess losing the airgap just to update might be fine, since my
purpose for the device is to calculate a 24th word checksum for a seed-rolling tutorial
Only the Jade Plus can maintain a true airgap. The original needs a hard connection (USB/BT) to upgrade firmware, and since the stock firmware is defective, you have little choice.
It's easy, I just "fixed" a blockstream jade with version 0.21 firmware (very ancient)
1. Clone this repo on your computer
https://github.com/Blockstream/Jade
2. Plug your jade into it via USB
3. Run this command: `update_jade_fw.py`
4. Profit
Thanks!
