Additional Information:
how to upgrade sync? my code is previous version and it works from last time before format device. I have a lot important information on there, but now all cannot sync anymore.
I just discovered the fix. It appears my sync chain code had an additional word added to the end. It must have changed at some point. After using the new updated longer code, it worked. I had to go to another active device that I had Brave sync enabled on to view the updated sync code.
Does it mean that I need to add a new sync chain and after that, I need to combine it with the old sync? Because I don’t have any old device connected to my old sync chain.
Ok, I got it why you said got addition word added to the end. For my situation is a little bit different. I would like to provide for those kinds of issues.
Step 2 download a zip file because it can prevent auto-updated latest version. For me, I need to download the file name which is brave-v1.40.113-win32-x64.
Step 3 opened it paste down your old sync chain and use your smartphone to scan a sync chain to make sure you’re connected. Make sure your smartphone has been connected and check the sync chain you may see it added a new word in the end. For example, your previous version’s word count is 24. After your smartphone connected it would show our word count became 25.
*Note, you can check your current situation version in about brave. It shows you an error problem because the system cannot update its latest version.
Step 4 you can reinstall it again to your brave browser to the latest version. And use your latest sync chain code
Step 5 enjoy it~ Please forgive me grammer mistake.
I must say, just created an account due to this issue, the full concept of this kind of sync is annihilated by this kind of error/mistake by the Brave team.
