I figured it out!
I asked the same question on the blue bird app, and Sani (npub1neu…t2vz) gave me the clue I needed!
After I hit calculate, it asked me to insert the 12th word (really bad UX/UI) and only allowed me to select certain letters.
When I selected ‘a’ it gave me nine word options.
I was confused because I usually use 24 word seeds and there are only eight checksum options.

Sani mentioned that there are 128 options for a 12-word seed,
so I realized the jade was showing me all the available checksums beginning with ‘a’!

Blockstream (npub1jg5…6n8n) I request that you change the wording on the screen after selecting ‘Calculate’ to say something like:

> Select any letter

Then on the next screen,

> Choose a 12th word
(instead of select, which implies at least to me, that there is a correct word to choose)
There is probably even a better phrase to use on that last screen.

Also, at the beginning of the flow, once one selects ‘Advanced Setup’, I would love to see ‘Calculate Checksum’ or ‘Calculate 12/24th Word’ as an option under ‘Create New Wallet’ and ‘Restore Wallet’ 🙏

Thanks for considering, I really love that the Jade allows for the checksum to be calculated, just need a clearer UX/UI 🧡😊

Ok I got the firmware updated and the Blockstream (npub1jg5…6n8n) Jade is functional again 😅
Now, please can someone tell me the flow to calculate a 12/24th word checksum 🙏🙏

I have followed the instructions but when I get to the option to ‘Calculate’ and select that, it wants me to enter the 12th word.

I am running the latest firmware.
