Some people have problems updating the Trezor firmware which then messes things up.
The advice given is enter your seed phrase to recover your wallet.
Wouldn't this then make the device potentially compromised? the whole point of hardware wallets is the seed never travels across the internet, so once its entered for recovery that is no longer the case, would it then be best to replace the Trezor?
If the update is unsuccessful or interrupted, the device may have its memory erased and a reset is required.
Even if the Trezor is factory reset, it will never ask you to enter the recovery seed online, it will always ask you to enter it on the device itself via the touchscreen.
Entering it directly on the device will not compromise your seed, so you should be fine.
This can also happen on devices from other manufacturers.
