Title: Corrupted encrypted wallet.dat Possible to recover? Post by: nyaa on March 20, 2016, 12:02:47 AM My only one backup of encrypted wallet is corrupted (last time when backed it up i probably didn't shutdown bitcoin-qt), with hex editor i found in it:
Does this enough for recovering my private keys? at least 117 of them? How can i do this? Thanks for any help! PS Already tried pywallet without success: Code: ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main Code: wallet.dat corrupt, salvage failed Title: Re: Corrupted encrypted wallet.dat Possible to recover? Post by: nyaa on March 20, 2016, 10:38:18 AM Yey! I did it ;D
Today found out that pywallet has recovery feature, and it worked: Created 1GB FAT32 partition on flash drive, copied corrupted wallet.dat on it and Code: nyaa@ubuntu:~/github/pywallet$ sudo ./pywallet.py --recover --recov_device /dev/sdb1 --recov_size 1Gio --recov_outputdir /home/nyaa/ And one of change addresses with all bitcoins on it was there! Thanks jackjack for the awesome tool Title: Re: Corrupted encrypted wallet.dat Possible to recover? Post by: cold_chardonnay on January 12, 2022, 07:30:59 AM Ok I checked again.
I think I made a mistake with not formatting the usb device to fat32. After doing so my result looks different: Code: Starting recovery. and python (Version 2.7.18) crashes with this message: Code: ------------------------------------- In my recovery Folder after this I can find a json file named Code: pywallet_partial_recovery_1641972376.json I guess it is really related with my pywallet installation or python itself. Already tried reinstalling and foloowing the guides I could find. But no solution yet. Thanks again for helping ;) Title: Re: Corrupted encrypted wallet.dat Possible to recover?
