Ledger Crypto Wallet Error Code 0x6804: How to Fix It

Q: Why does Ledger error 0x6804 keep appearing?

This error appears because your Ledger device requires the specific cryptocurrency app to be open before it can process transactions. Each cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) has its own dedicated app that must be running on the device.

Q: What does 'app not opened' mean on Ledger?

It means the cryptocurrency application needed for your transaction isn't currently running on your Ledger device. You need to navigate to and open the correct app using the device buttons before proceeding with your transaction.

Q: How do I know which app to open on my Ledger?

The app you need depends on the cryptocurrency you're trying to use. For Bitcoin transactions, open the Bitcoin app. For Ethereum or ERC-20 tokens, open the Ethereum app. The wallet software you're using will typically indicate which app is required.

Q: Can I have multiple apps open on Ledger at once?

No, Ledger devices can only run one cryptocurrency app at a time. You must close the current app and open a different one if you want to switch between cryptocurrencies.

Q: What if the required app isn't installed on my Ledger?

Use Ledger Live Manager to install missing cryptocurrency apps. Connect your Ledger device, open Ledger Live, go to Manager, and install the app you need. Installation is free and takes about 30 seconds per app.

Abstract
