[quote userid="146685" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/125230/nrf54h20-soft-bricked/552736"]Upgraded the nrfutil device to 2.15.1, and recovery went fine, and I'm now able to erase the dev board.
However, ncs 3.1.1 docs recommend 2.13.1 version at https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-3.1.1/page/nrf/app_dev/device_guides/nrf54h/ug_nrf54h20_gs.html#installing-additional-nrf-util-commands

Is it safe to continue using 2.15.1 with ncs 3.1.1 or should i rollback?[/quote]

Thanks for the sharing.

It should be fine. Let me know if you get any issues with this combination.

Hi,

What are the versions of nrfutil device and ironside ?

You can check by "nrfutil device --version" and the following section
