You will need to give more information. Where is your current LTC stored? Have you already generated a LTC adress on your nano ledger S?

You can't simply sent LTC to a BTC adress, it doesn't work like that. You'll need to add another "wallet". see https://ledger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005172945-How-to-install-and-use-Litecoin-LTC-

Are you selecting Litecoin on the Ledger? Did you send to the correct address?

It was on Coinbase in my LtC wallet. I activated my ledger nano S but was on bitcoin wallet instead of my litecoin wallet.
I got an address from the nano bitcoin wallet and put that into Coinbase send for LTC.
Now it shows up on the http://live.blockcypher.com page.
I read where it now has to be converted in order to go to a litecoin wallet.
That is what I don't know how to do.
I have all 3 address showing where it is.

Litecoin adresses start with an L. There's no way you could have possibly sent it, since there's a checksum to check it every time a transaction is made. it should simply not be possible.

(Unless you sent Litecoin to a btc adress starting with 3?) (?)

Would you mind linking me the transaction ID? Coinbase might have simply subtracted it from your account but never sent anything, in which case you will need to contact their support to see if they can do anything.

It is not only possible... but it is quite common.

Previously, Litecoin generated "3" addresses... there was a fork that changed to the newer "m" addresses to try and prevent this issue... but they still needed to retain the ability to send to "3" addresses for backwards compatibility.

Fortunately, there IS a solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/devbitcoin/comments/7f4m39/accidental_ltc_to_btc_address_on_ledger_nano_s/?st=jasludh0&sh=213007dc

PM me if you need any help.

I googled this topic because I also sent LTC from Coinbase to my BTC Wallet to my ledger nano s.

I´m from Germany and my English isn´t good at all so please could somebody help me to get my coins back?

seems like they've decided to delete the very useful step by step guide from the reddit post

But I found a copy of it here: https://litecointalk.io/t/accidentally-sent-litecoin-to-my-bitcoin-wallet-address/8826/19

If you sent LTC to a BTC address on a Ledger... it MUST have been a SegWit address... so you'll need to do some magic to get it back. You might be better off contacting that "devbitcoin" guy on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/devbitcoin/)

They seem to have the process for recovering LTC sent to BTC address pretty much sorted!

If you had a Trezor (or know someone with a Trezor that you can borrow or whom you trust), it seems like it would be a relatively simple case to use their recovery tool: https://trezor.io/recover-coins/

Thank you very much, I´ll check this!

But at this point I  must inform, what are these keys and where I´ll find them. Like the privat keys from my ledger


edit:/ I register on reddit and wrote a message to this guy. Hope he can help

edit:/ Because of a lot help from another user in this forum I think I made it! Now I´ll have to wait if it works!

I have my coins back! THX devbitcoin from reddit
