Move the Connection Without Moving Wallet Secrets
If Nano X is paired to an old phone, connect the new phone through the supported Ledger Live mobile flow and repair stale associations only if they block it. The application is now Ledger Wallet. A phone change does not by itself require resetting Nano X, changing its recovery phrase, or transferring assets between blockchain addresses.
First determine whether the old phone is simply nearby and still using the Ledger, unavailable, or no longer trustworthy. Those situations have different privacy implications, even though the next phone needs a working connection in each case.
End an Available Old Session
If you still control the old phone, close its wallet session and stop active hardware communication before pairing from the new one. Do not keep both phones making connection requests and then guess which prompt belongs to which attempt.
Privately note the intended account networks and public identifiers if the old interface remains your best reference. Local labels can help organization but do not establish account ownership. Keep the backup phrase out of migration notes and phone-to-phone messages.
Let any progressing Ledger OS installation finish on its current supported host before changing sessions. Moving hosts or clearing app data in the middle of firmware work creates a separate access problem.
Prepare the New Phone Independently
Install through Ledger’s official mobile distribution and check the live requirements. Use existing-device onboarding for the already initialized Nano X. Grant the phone app’s relevant Bluetooth permission and keep the hardware unlocked, charged, and nearby.
The new phone’s local password or biometric preference is separate from Nano X’s hardware PIN. Do not copy credentials or secrets from the old app into a recovery form to authorize the new interface.
Start discovery in the app. If a valid connection forms, compare the intended accounts through supported discovery or synchronization. If a code exchange is shown, verify both screens and cancel any mismatch.
Clear a Stale Relationship Only If Necessary
If the old association prevents useful communication, use Ledger’s Nano X pairing recovery. Coordinate hardware Reset pairings with stale app and phone association removal as the guide directs. It does not require possession of the old phone to reveal or export wallet keys.
On Nano X, the pairing command is reached through the Control Center, Settings, Security. Read the specific Reset pairings option and distinguish it from Reset device. A factory reset is not the price of moving Bluetooth to another phone.
After cleanup, make one new app-led attempt and complete the matching code confirmation. Test actual device communication rather than relying solely on a remembered system Bluetooth label.
Consider the Old Phone’s Data Separately
Pairing removal is not remote deletion of all information on the old phone. That installation may retain public account history or local records. Follow the phone vendor’s supported security and disposal controls for a phone you own; do not assume rebuilding Nano X pairing erases those records.
Ledger’s multi-device guidance separates account access across installations from hardware communication. Review the exact accounts and local settings after the new connection works.
If recovery words were exposed on the old phone, that is a different wallet-security incident. Clearing Bluetooth cannot make a copied secret private again. Seek official incident guidance while preserving a usable access path.
Old-Phone Questions
Will Forgetting Bluetooth Delete My Coins?
It removes a communication relationship, not blockchain assets. Reconnect the correct configured hardware and verify the supported account view afterward.
Should I Restore Nano X on the New Phone?
Do not enter the phrase into phone software. Connecting existing hardware and intentional hardware restoration are different workflows.
Why Are Account Names Different After Pairing?
Names and local organization may not transfer identically. Match network and public account before rebuilding labels or assuming funds are missing.
