  When your Ledger Nano X gets stuck in bootloader mode, it usually indicates a firmware issue. This can happen due to a failed firmware update or a corrupted firmware file. To prevent this from happening, make sure to always download firmware updates from the official Ledger website and follow the instructions carefully. Additionally, avoid interrupting the firmware update process and ensure that your device has sufficient battery power before starting the update. If your device is already stuck in bootloader mode, you can try resetting it by holding down the left button for 10 seconds until the device restarts. If the issue persists, you may need to contact Ledger support for further assistance.

  The bootloader mode issue with Ledger Nano X can be frustrating, but there are a few things you can try to resolve it. First, make sure you're using the latest version of the Ledger Live software and that your device is connected properly. If that doesn't work, try using a different USB cable or port. Sometimes, a faulty cable or port can cause the device to get stuck in bootloader mode. You can also try restarting your computer and reconnecting the device. If none of these solutions work, it's possible that there's a hardware issue with your Ledger Nano X. In that case, you should reach out to Ledger support for further assistance.
