* Out of date firmware: If the Ledger Nano S app doesn't work at all, make sure you are running firmware
version 1.5.5.

### Error "Unexpected sequence number (expected 0, got 191)" on macOS

If `tezos-client` on macOS intermittently fails with an error that looks like

```
client.signer.ledger: APDU level error: Unexpected sequence number (expected 0, got 191)
```

then your installation of `tezos-client` was built with an older version of HIDAPI that doesn't work well with macOS (see [#30](https://github.com/obsidiansystems/ledger-app-tezos/issues/30)).

To fix this you need to get the yet-unreleased fixes from the [HIDAPI library](https://github.com/signal11/hidapi) and rebuild `tezos-client`.

If you got HIDAPI from Homebrew, you can update to the `master` branch of HIDAPI like this:

```shell
$ brew install hidapi --HEAD
```

Then start a full rebuild of `tezos-client` with HIDAPI's `master` branch:

```shell
$ brew unlink hidapi # remove the current one
$ brew install autoconf autmake libtool # Just keep installing stuff until the following command succeeds:

*automake

$ brew install hidapi --HEAD
```

Finally, rebuild `ocaml-hidapi` with Tezos. In the `tezos` repository:

```shell
$ opam reinstall hidapi
$ make all build-test
$ ./tezos-client list connected ledgers # should now work consistently
```

Note that you may still see warnings similar to `Unexpected sequence number (expected 0, got 191)` even after this update. The reason is that there is a separate, more cosmetic, issue in `tezos-client` itself which has already been fixed but may not be in your branch yet (see the [merge request](https://gitlab.com/tezos/tezos/merge_requests/600)).
