My Umbrel node running on a Raspberry Pi 4 (8 GB/1TB SSD) no longer fully syncs. Instead, it gets to within a few blocks of the highest block and then reverts back to a much older block (2-3 days prior) and tries to sync again. It’s been doing this in an endless loop for over two weeks now. The problem began after updating to 0.4.4 and I had hoped 0.4.5 would fix the issue, but it has not.

Do I need to fully restore the node from the backup seed? I have over 20 Lightning channels (backed up) that are currently down. What’s the best way to fix this?

Please check [Umbrel troubleshooting guide](http://community.umbrel.com/t/umbrel-troubleshooting-guide/3632)  
No need to restore your node.  
Could be:

- electrs is still indexing blocks (after 0.4.4 update electrs is re-indexing all blocks compacting the database, so be patient.
- some error line in your lnd.conf file (check the troubleshooting guide for that)
- check the logs see what is hanged.

Thanks. I solved it by doing a manual reindex of the blockchain and then installing the latest update from the repo. Everything is back to normal now.
