LOST MY PIN : need help recovering

[Nikdubbz]

I know that i cant recover the pin or pass phrase (both lost, can still transfee funds with pin) and i wanted to know of there was any way i could acxess the pin by either moving the app to an sd card to a rooted phone to access the pin or maybe a program that i could analize my phone with to find out what the pin is, even a brute force atrack to crack it? Ive got 20 bucks on who can help me outttt, or the equivalent in btc. Thanks:)

If you could root it and search for a default_wallet file it might be possible. However I doubt it'd be very easy to find them.

Do you have your 12-14 word seed wallet phrase as you can still use that to recover your coins.

I guess you are talking about the desktop version of electrum and not about the mobile one?
In that case it doesn't make sense to move the file to a mobile phone to analyze it.

You can try to bruteforce your pin/passphrase of your wallet file with btcrecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover) if its either
1) an easy passphrase or
2) you remember parts of your phrase/pin

In both cases btcrecover should do the trick for you.

Are you using electrum mobile?
There's no other way to recover your wallet unless if you still had the backup seed phrase or private key other than that its impossible that your wallet to open again.. the same as wallet.dat in phone i don't think if you can find it in phone system if you lucky to get the wallet.dat its still useless because its encrypted.

Just try to find your seed phrase maybe you place your phrase somewhere in your phone or computer or wrote them to your note.

This should work in low version but i don't think if this could work in new version of electrum and i think he is talking about phone since he wanted to move the electrum files to sd card then put to other rooted phone.

Don't attempt to root the phone. Rooting will wipe all the data on the phone and you will lose your money.

Do you have the seed words? If so then attempt to restore from seed on a PC.

If you don't have the seed words then ask for help on #electrum on freenode. There may be a version of the app that they can make for you that allows you to get at the wallet file.

Actually, rooting wont delete your phone's data. Installing a custom ROM does.

And I highly doubt that moving your Electrum to an SD Card which you will insert in a phone with root access can find you solutions in recovering the PIN.
The option "move to SD" doesn't move the entire application's data, only the resources and other settings are moved. Notice that if you move any application to an SD card then remove the card, when you reinstalled that app (apk file, offline), your personal data like game levels are still intact.
This depends on the application and Electrum must be like that too.

You can make a backup though, *Find someone to root your device (do not attempt it yourself / do not replace the ROM and RecoveryMode). Install a backup app like Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox Pro or anything that saves the entire app data including the root data.
From that backup (zip), you can ask  anyone to "find your PIN" but it seems impossible.
At least you have a backup.
