Hi all,
I am trying to update the pool certificate but the witness command for the ledger just won’t work.
I checked the content of the pool certificate, rebuilt the transaction many times, checked the vkey and hwsfile.
The witness operation from cardano-cli on the other keys works.
The problem is that the error is quite vague and I don’t know where else to look.
with the following command:
cardano-hw-cli transaction witness --tx-body-file tx-pool.raw --hw-signing-file hw-stake.hwsfile --mainnet --out-file hw-stake.witness
Error: Ledger device: Invalid data supplied to Ledger
only hw-stake.hwsfile and tx-pool.raw are from me and I went over them so many times.
What else could I be doing wrong?
Thank you for reading and helping if you can
I am not sure if i can help but is this the first time you are using your hw wallet with your pool? Has it worked before?
Yes, I have successfully added the hw wallet as an owner a while ago, now I am actually just upgrading pledge because I collected more ADA this month 
The problem is that to do this the new hw wallet owner also has to witness and it doesn’t want to
Ok. With the information provided i can’t see the problem but I do know that i had a lot.of weird issues with my hw wallet when i tried your way. Then i switched to atada’s spos scripts which worked and are also very fast and easy to use.
Yeah, I am migrating to atada’s scripts. Still frustrating that just submitting the new pool certificate doesn’t work…

I received the same error when creating a witness using a ledger nano.
Turns out CoinCashew is referencing a deprecated version of cardano-hw-cli, v1.2.0:
cd $NODE_HOME
wget https://github.com/vacuumlabs/cardano-hw-cli/releases/download/v1.2.0/cardano-hw-cli_1.2.0-1.deb
sudo dpkg --install ./cardano-hw-cli_1.2.0-1.deb
I successfully generated the witness after using the latest cardano-hw-cli release, 1.6.2
cd $NODE_HOME
wget https://github.com/vacuumlabs/cardano-hw-cli/releases/download/v1.6.2/cardano-hw-cli_1.6.2-1.deb
sudo dpkg --install ./cardano-hw-cli_1.6.2-1.deb
*Note: I was also running cardano-cli v1.29.0.
