Google app works but the electrum is giving me a “read error” right after choosing hardware wallet—>select a device—>an unnamed ledger [ledger, initialized]
It can be a bit fussy with the order your do things... I've run into similar issues with "read errors". It generally happens if I've had the ledger plugged in and been using it with other apps.
Firstly, make sure that NO other Ledger apps (like Ledger Manger or Ledger Wallet Bitcoin chrome apps etc) are running and shut down Electrum, then unplug the Ledger device.
Then start Electrum... File -> New\Restore -> Standard Wallet -> Use a Hardware Device... at this point, Electrum should tell you take it can't find a device...
Now, connect the Ledger Device... enter your PIN... then select the Bitcoin "app" on the device.
Now, in Electrum, click "Next" to force the re-scan... it should then show you "an unnamed ledger [ledger, initialized]", click "next" and it should hopefully finish creating your wallet.
