Nano ledger with metamask: Transaction signature is not valid

[furusiyya]

Our Blockchain network is the fork of Go-Ethereum with Istanbul consensus algorithm. We are using metamask by providing node RPC address and chain ID and it is working fine but we attach nano ledger S/X with Metamask to make transactions, it gives following error:

error: Object { code: -32603, message: "Error: Ledger: The transaction signature is not valid", stack: "Error: Error: Ledger: The transaction signature is not valid" }
Please help us to understand why it is working with other ethereum wallets including Trezor but not with Ledger. How can we fix it?

same problem. Trying to execution a transaction with Ledger Nano by proving an node RPC address. Got the error "The transaction signature is not valid".

I'm encountering the same issue with a Ledger Nano S on firmware 1.6.0. What additional logs does the Ledger team need to troubleshoot this?

Tested on MetaMask 7.7.4 and 7.7.5 on a private geth PoA test network and it failed with Error: Ledger: The transaction signature is not valid. Tested on Rinkeby on MetaMask 7.7.5 and it worked.

I notice that it gives the same error when connecting to Ganache. Essentially, anything that is an RPC connection will fail.

I had the same problem with MetaMask. I got around this by using MyCrypto which was suggested in the Energy Web documentation. When you visit the MyCrypto website, select the EWC network in the drop down in the top right corner. When adding your Ledger wallet, there will be an "addresses" drop down menu with Default (EWC) selected. Change that to either Ledger (ETH) or Default (ETH). Your EWT should show up in the first address. After doing this I was finally able to send my EWT.

[jamessssssssssssssssss]

i still cant send my ewt anywhere i keep getting the transaction signature is not valid

[dthoeni]

How can this still be open???
Fix it please...

It seems that connecting your ledger nano with metamask in a side chain is a nightmare. They haven't fixed this issue and many of us and others will want to use the side chains to avoid high fees, but Ledger doesn't care about us. I cannot believe that this thread started more than 1 year ago and they haven't solved it yet...

I am able to use Metamask and Ledger on Polygon.

same problem trying to do transactions on fantom side chain

[numa-nalo]

I still can't send MATIC tokens from Ledger Nano S to Metamask on the Matic network. 🐲

[stanislavkozlovski]

ditto...

I'm also having trouble with this. It seems that ledger hardware wallet signs transactions completely different to web3.eth.personal.sign(nonce, coinbase)...

There does not seem to be any documentation to explain this weird difference. Also the official docs has been deleted?

If there's any solution please answer my stack exchange question.
