According to my Electra’s bootloader screen I am running bootloader v1.0.  
The documentation states that the Electra One App should show an “update bootloader” option but I do not get that option.

Any other way to update the bootloader?

Assuming you have a mkII, have a look [here](https://docs.electra.one/userguide-mk2/bootloader.html), scroll almost to the bottom of this page. Once you are on 1.1 the app should work.

Hey, thanks. I must have looked past the “Bootloader Update page” link.

When I navigate to the Bootloader Update page I get a message that I must be logged in, and that I must be connected directly via USB. However, I am meeting both of those criteria. The App recognizes the Electra, just not the Bootloader Update page.
