Problem with Portable Electrum wallet ... recover seed and / or private key !

[vayden]

Hello

By mistake I transferred a BTC to an Electrum wallet that I had already deleted and also deleted the Seed. With a program of recovery of deleted files I was able to recover some files of the deleted wallet among them the file "default_wallet" and also I have the password with which it had encrypted the wallet when it creates it.
Is it possible to retrieve the seed or the private keys of the addresses from the file "default_wallet" and the password with which the portfolio is encrypted?

I appreciate any suggestions.

Yes. Can't Electrum open the file? If not, you're probably out of luck.

Yes , you should be able to do that but sometimes while recovering files , they get corrupted so If it's the case then Electrum may not be able to read the file and that will result in losing your funds unless you can recover the seed somehow , If you stored it in a .txt file for example you could use the same method to recover it.

Thanks for answering

I'm sure I can not get the seed back.

It seems that the defaul_wallet file that I retrieve is corrupt because I can not open it from electrum, and if I open it with a text editor, only symbols and special characters appear ...

Any other option ?, also retrieve other files from that folder in the folder "certs" as "elec.luggs.co.rej" and other .TEM and .temp files ... some of these files if I open them with an editor Contain more or less a string of characters like the following:

Maybe from these files you can get the seed or the private key? Taking into account that I have the password with which I had encrypted the wallet ... maybe using a program like "pywallet 2.2"?

[unamis76]

I don't think there's another way to recover the seed if the file is corrupted.

You only see special characters because the file is encrypted.

[Abdussamad]

the cert files are the ssl certs for electrum servers. they do not contain any wallet info so they are useless.

since you have the default wallet file and you do know the password it may be worth a try to hit up dave from walletrecoveryservices.com. maybe he can salvage something from the wallet file. could simply be a file encoding issue.

[vayden]

I appreciate the help, but it seems that the file is corrupt. BTCs are definitively lost.
thanks
