Just installed latest update for specter and my instance seems to be in a stalled in a startup loop. Do you know if it is possible to go back to an older version of the software without doing a complete uninstall? Would like to keep my data if possible
Seems the package might not have fully installed. During Specter configuration I get an error “No module named ‘cryptoadvance.specter.devices.hwi.jadepy.jade_ble’”.
Including full log errors below. I dont recall the last version I was running but it would have been the last update before 2.1.1~2 came out.

Hey before releasing this package I tried downgrading the versions and it worked!
So please try to go to the service tab on start9 → marketplace listing and then → other versions.
You should be able to downgrade without loosing data.
If you do so successful, please use the specter backup functionality to back up your wallet and devices data. Also you did you do a start9 backup at any time? You should be able to restore just specter from it separatly.
Strange that your upgrade did not work , it worked fine when testing. Could you also try specter 2.1.1 ( the version before 2.1.1~2)? Please do a start9 backup also before trying to upgrade again.
Also the “No module named ‘cryptoadvance.specter.devices.hwi.jadepy.jade_ble’”. Is normal, it just means that no bluetooth connection for jade is available. Maybe you could also attempt a Start9 system rebuild to solve the loop.
Did you try to restart the service and also StartOS restart?
I did try and restart the service with no success. I have not re-installed. My main concern is loosing meta-data for transactions, which I hope would be preserved through an install from backup. Would love some clarity if you can provide.
I also can confirm that restoring your old StartOS backup will restore all user data including metadata.
Just tested this again.
I did a complete uninstall.
And all my wallets with transaction labels got restored from Start9 backup funktionality.
So best method would be to restore your old specter version from backup.
Just don’t make a backup of your new version because it will overwrite your old backup!
After restore then make a backup within specter app… settings-> backup
Then attempt an upgrade to version 2.1.1 not 2.1.1-2
This should work.
