So, i have found 3 old jaxx wallets with files "file_0.localstorage" I am trying to use this guide to extract seed phrase: https://vxlabs.com/2017/06/10/extracting-the-jaxx-12-word-wallet-backup-phrase/I should be able to open file & type in command sqlite> select value from ItemTable where key="mnemonic"; The problem is I cannot open file_0.localstorage, not even with sqlitebrowser I'm getting error: Could not open database file
Reason: file is not a databaseIs there any solution, how do I open these files? |

Update:
I've managed to dumpwallet from bitcoin core and now i have master private key together with wallet list and private keys file.
How do I check balance quickly without checking 1000 adresses and without sync of btc core? that will take days

UPDATE:
I have tried to salvage or use a backup folder but with both of them it says "wallet is corrupt"
Is there any solution now?
Other files I cannot even mount or add so wallet can recognize so they are maybe not even bitcoin wallet, not doge also (i think)

well the last one is recognized by bitcoin core wallet but it says corrupt
Idk what to do with the file now or how to find out any info about wallet address at least
I have another 3 files called wallet.dat, size is 96kb and no idea what's that from, could be altcoin
I'm not expert to know what coin is used on the wallet.dat file but maybe this topic below will help you to know or get an idea what coin is your wallet.dat file. - unknown wallet.dat formatThere is someone mentioned Walletlib might help to figure out which altcoin is your wallet.dat. Okay it could be dogecoin core wallet because this wallet says: wallet data corrupt, salvage failed Do I have any option to salvage this wallet ? |

Do you have the original file of this default_wallet file because if you don't have a backup copy of this wallet file sometimes it becomes corrupted if you tried to open the old version of the wallet file to the latest version of Electrum?
Make sure that you have a backup first before trying to recover and import it to Electrum. Or else It would end up corrupted to the point where there's no way to recover it.
Based on the error it seems Electrum is trying to decode the wallet but failed.
Would you mind completing the error and post it again here I would like to try to search it on Google if there is someone who has a similar issue.
here its a huge one https://pastebin.com/WnNKqkpW |

Yes, when i try to do the salvage it just says "Data is not in recognized format"
Since these files are from old hard drive, is there a way to recover them in better "condition"?
I used hartman partition recovery tool
Is there a better option?
If the wallet.dat file is not recognized with Bitcoin core possible the wallet.dat file you are trying to make work on Bitcoin core is not actually generated from this wallet. There is a big possibility it was generated from other altcoins. Are you sure that the wallet.dat is Bitcoin or maybe you don't remember that you have an altcoin wallet.dat file? well the last one is recognized by bitcoin core wallet but it says corrupt Idk what to do with the file now or how to find out any info about wallet address at least I have another 3 files called wallet.dat, size is 96kb and no idea what's that from, could be altcoin |

I'm getting this error:
Cannot read file
StorageReadWriteError(UnicodeDecodeError('utf-8', b'\x00\x89.......... bunch of "xnumbers"
My guess this is old electrum wallet, size is 41kb, date is 30.01.2017.
What can I do to access the wallet? I have no idea if it has a password
I can reward a person if you grant me access here

I'm getting access denied error. My best guess is my wallet.dat is not located into right file or something like that.
If pywallet can't find it in your specified directory, it'll return with this message instead: " ERROR: wallet file 'T:\\wallet.dat' can't be found" -snip-
So where do I need to save this wallet, to bitcoin store app data file also? Im big noob, maybe i missed a step. Because right now i have pywallet in another file and wallet.dat in the same file. Save it anywhere but take note of its absolute path, for example, if you saved it in " D:\new folder", the wallet.dat's path is " D:\new folder\wallet.dat" Use that as --wallet path when using bitcoin-wallet.exe tool. If you didn't changed Bitcoin Core's install directory, bitcoin-wallet tool should be in your " C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bin" folder. To use it, open command prompt, " change directory" ( cd) to the folder above, type: cd C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\binThen to salvage, type: bitcoin-wallet --wallet="D:\new folder\wallet.dat" salvage
Of course, change the wallet's path to your wallet.dat's location.The rest of the info should in the link on my previous reply. It's on D. Anyway, when I try this i get the message: Failed to load database path 'D:\Bitcoindata\wallet.dat'. Data is not in recognized format. |

You need to do a backup of your wallet.dat file. You should store this backup on a offline safe storage devise, please avoid cloud solutions! Because right now i have pywallet in another file and wallet.dat in the same file.
What you mean exactly ? You mean you did a copy already ? Otherwise, did you tried with sudo or with being logged as root ? What I did so far is: - waiting for bitcoin core to download, almost done - pywallet is in program files - wallet.dat is copy pasted and I saved it into pywallet file - when i get in pywallet file i "search" cmd into file explorer to open it in this window - after this I enter pywallet.py --dumpwallet --wallet=C:\blahblah\pywallet-master\pywallet-master\wallet.dat > C:\blahblah\pywallet-master\pywallet-master\walletDump-NoKeys.txt I'm getting access denied error. My best guess is my wallet.dat is not located into right file or something like that. Since everyone here think we noobs know what to do, I would need step by step guide and nobody wrote it here, everybody miss some steps so I'm trying to learn and catch and still not there yet. I literally never used cmd or python or anything so definitely I need step by step, every single one what to do after I recovered wallet.dat file. I know how to install python and how to download pywallet but where to place files, where to open cmd, what commands should I use - no clue |

Please advise, what to do, am I doing something wrong ?
Backup your wallet.dat first before attempting anything with it. The problem is command prompt is giving me messages:
1. Access denied
2. ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this again.
In contrary with the error message, having Bitcoin Core running rarely causes that error and I guess it's not loaded because of the wallet's directory.Sometimes it's permission issue but I haven't experience that in Windows. Anyways, I often see that error in corrupted wallet.dat files. So, try salvage and see if Bitcoin Core can fix your wallet file before attempting to dump it with Pywallet. To do that, you need Bitcoin Core and its " bitcoin-wallet" tool, then follow these instructions: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5380489.msg58965353#msg58965353So where do I need to save this wallet, to bitcoin store app data file also?
