Trezor Safe 5 + MacOS 14.6.1 = Unsupported Trezor model

[JavierGonzalez]

The new Trezor Safe 5 [Firmware 2.7.2] (next version of Trezor Model T) works fine on Ubuntu 24.04 but does not work on MacOS 14.6.1 under the same conditions.

It is important that this hardware works well, as it is the most advanced hardware key available in my opinion.

Thank you!! (trezor-agent is the pinacle of authentication)

• A different minor problem is that when authenticating with Trezor Safe 5 it asks for the possible passphrase, even though it is unnecessary.

Many thanks for reporting this issue! Could you please check that trezorctl works with your device on MacOS?

For example, you can try:

$ trezorctl -v list
$ trezorctl -v ping -b test

Also which version of trezorlib is installed on the host?

$ trezorctl version

[JavierGonzalez]

I confirm that trezorctl is installed and working correctly on MacOS with Safe 5. trezorctl version 0.13.9

[romanz]

Thanks @JavierGonzalez!

It seems that trezor-agent is using an older version of Python TREZOR library - from the above traceback there seems to be a call to _refresh_features from line 377:

  File "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/trezor-agent/0.12.0_6/libexec/lib/python3.12/site-packages/trezorlib/client.py", line 377, in init_device
    self._refresh_features(resp)

Which was on line 377 in trezorlib 0.13.8: https://github.com/trezor/trezor-firmware/blob/python/v0.13.8/python/src/trezorlib/client.py#L377

But was moved to line 380 in trezorlib 0.13.9: https://github.com/trezor/trezor-firmware/blob/python/v0.13.9/python/src/trezorlib/client.py#L380

I think that we will need to upgrade the trezorlib package being used by Homebrew from 0.13.8 to 0.13.9 to allow trezor-agent to run on TREZOR Safe 5: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/abc953ca10dc5c6228a7d0051fe1362c30c7a4f2/Formula/t/trezor-agent.rb#L249

Thank you!

[romanz]

I have opened https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/183792. @JavierGonzalez could you please test it?

[JavierGonzalez]

I have run brew upgrade and tried it without success.

What exactly do you want me to test?

[romanz]

Sorry - I meant if you could please install trezor-agent in a Python virtual environment with the latest https://pypi.org/project/trezor/0.13.9/ to see that it works with Safe 5?
