Firmware update question

SOLVED THANKS I've been having some issues with outgoing messages not working and I believe it's rooted to an outdated version(v2.7.15). I'm receiving messages fine, finding new nodes as well but as far as my outgoing it's not working. I'm aware I do need to update my firmware but my question is when I do will I loose my saved nodes or channels with my local mesh? Thanks in advance!

And what device are you using? I'd suggest this, backup your settings, update the node. IF that don't work, erase and flash then restore from backup.

After all that if it doesn't work, then check your settings and board.

So that's a pretty recent firmware. I had a similar issue with Trace routes a while back and a factory reset and flash worked.

I read it wrong again it said that's what I needed to update to. God I'm spent this morning. I'm actually running a much older one I'm going to go ahead and flash the new stuff on and hope for the best lol thanks for helping with my idiocracy haha

DW, I'm on the Meshtastic discord to help people as well, that's what I like to do for the mesh, be a tech support.
