1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Old corrupt wallet.dat from when I mined in 2009-2010 on: January 01, 2018, 09:45:37 PM
Hi,

can you please post (or PM) first 10 bytes of your file (in hex)?
It's the best to start with the header (it doesn't disclose any sensitive data - chunk is too small).
2  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: About to lose my mind. .5 BTC tip to anyone who can solve this. on: December 21, 2017, 10:39:58 PM
Use following tool. Mycelium apparently has some issues with restoring old backups.

https://github.com/mycelium-com/wallet-android/blob/master/backuputil/src/main/java/com/mrd/bitlib/BackupUtil.java

This allows you to produce a WIF key, which should be usable in new mycelium.

Let me know over PM, if you'll need help to run it.

EDIT: Attached a guide

Go to backuputil/bin directory and execute
Code:
backuputil.bat encryptedKey PASSWORD
like
Code:
backuputil.bat xEncGXICZE1_eVYfGWDioNu_8hA6RZzep4XqwPGRtcKb01MDg3s1XFntJYI9Dw QDTDXOYFBXBKKMKR

This will show you "Private key (Wallet Import Format)".
Send it to your mobile phone (using chat or whatever)
Copy it into clipboard
Open Mycelium > Accounts > Key+ icon > Advanced > Import (this should allow you import from clipboard)

1) Pre-built version (I built it straight from mycelium repo like 30 minutes ago)
Here you can download ready-to-use backuputil.

2) However if you don't trust these binaries (which I totally respect), here is a guide how to compile your own.

  • Download and install Android Studio
  • In the 2nd step of welcome wizard choose "Custom"
  • Check "NDK" in the next step and let the installation finish
  • Dowload zipped backuputil source code (green button on the top)
  • Unzip it and using command line go to backuputil from the zip file above
  • Type "gradle build" into command line
  • Go to newly created folder build/distributions
  • Unzip backuputil.zip
