Coldcard: Current Firmware Will Not Permanently Brick Devices

Odaily Planet Daily News: Coldcard posted on platform X, stating that the claim that "current firmware will cause Coldcard devices to permanently brick" is inaccurate. If a device experiences a TRNG failure, users only need to perform a power cycle—completely removing all power and then restarting the device. This fault state is volatile and is not written to the device's flash memory; the system handles it in a "fail-safe" manner and will not cause permanent damage to the device. Coldcard reminds users to continue managing related risks in accordance with previously provided security recommendations and stated that a fix is currently in progress.
