Description

Hi, I am following the jade firmware upgrade instructions as per [here](https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408030503577-Update-Jade-firmware
) to update to 1.0.39
(but 1.0.39 isnt tagged as a release on the Github??)

I have tried Option 3 (Jadelink) but that again stalls permanently at 2% with no error information. I have re-tried it after several reboots and usb unplugging. Still unsuccessful. And I did find not find the authentic firmware hases listed anywhere. (So I checked it to the hash on the download file, before realising how dumb that was. )

The same issue failed upgrade at 2% progress happened with ver 1.0.38 a few months ago on the same just-unboxed (1.0.32?) jade plus firmware update.

After option 3 multiple failures, i tried option 1. It worked fairly smoothly, however how is an even-somewhat-technical person supposed to determine that its a different firmware hash is expected from the one for option 3! My jade device is showing a hash that matches to a "cmphash" , not the (firmware) fwhash??!! what is a cmphash ??

As much as I want to support Jade for less-technical friends and family, I once again am reminded why i cant: the QA / user experience is just too frustrating. This still feels like a pre-release software (with language like initialized QR login separated for login etc etc. ) .
The accompanying website documentation for the Jade is sadly not written for even somewhat-technical-people to easily follow.

2hrs for a firmware update so far. aaaargggghhhh!

Lastly, since 1.0.39 the USB icon is displaying when its plugged into the wall charger!! ( I think that is a new bug in 1.0.39)

I am willing to assist to make the improvements, but this really isn't a consumer-ready HWW.

Thanks,
M
