Old mining wallet

[adaseb]

Which type of Samsung phone is this exactly?

Because I know when it comes to iPhones, somewhere around the iPhone 4S-5 era it was impossible to recover anything because of the way the data was stored on the device. It was basically encrypted and if you wiped it the key was destroyed and backup was not possible. It’s been years since I looked into this but this I am sure of. It’s because I wanted to sell an old iPhone and wanted to make sure my data was completely safe from the new user.

Find this out first before you spend money on a data recovery service.

Op I think you should look for some cyber specialist or phone engineer that will use some tools to recover your mobile device, because $45k is not a joking amount here. $0.7btc can take some people here 10 to 15 years to accumulate if possible, because btc price is increasing. I will just sudjest you listen to what other senior college above has said. Btc is too expensive to be left in that wallet do all what you can to restore it even if you lost $5k to get it back don't mind, just do it. I believe there is no problem without solution all you just need is time.

Goosebumps and thrill in this thread  

OP, don't mind this too much, maybe I am just a dirty minded person who likes to over think, I don't know why my mind thinks that you may not be the owner of that wallet?

Maybe you need the owner has some bitcoin and the only that belongs to the owner was this phone? Hope that's not the case? Because first thing after creating a bitcoin wallet comes the recovery seed, you can't even go the next page without verifying those words first.

So anyone, either newbie or not, who opens. A new bitcoin wallet will have to understand the importance of recovery seed at the moment, I don't know about others but something keeps telling me that this doesn't belong to you.

Are you high? Why would I make it up about a dead wallet from 13 years ago? It was 100% my wallet, you were clearly not about in those days. The Android app was less than secure, there was no lock on the app, so someone with your phone could just send your BTC to anyone they wanted and the backup was your seed just emailed to you! lol

Here is an example email I still have from the miner bot.

I have found my old mining address which still has about 0.7btc in it...

The question is, I know I was using an old Samsung phone and the Schildbach wallet, this was so early on that I still have emails from where I was asking him asking for pin unlock because I thought it was insecure!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet

This app used to like to backup the keys to a file called bitcoin-wallet-keys-xxx-xx-xx (xxx being the date)

The thing is I cannot locate this backup, but I do have the phone, does anyone here know of any good software to scan the phone with, the phone was wiped at some point so needs to be pretty low level kinda stuff... 

Any hope of doing this or am I wasting my time?

No, you are not wasting your time. That is a lot of money and you should not give up on it so easily. Unless you are rich and it's peanuts to you.

If I were in your shoes, I would probably take the phone to an expert on data recovery. I am sure there is still a way to get the data back. But you should make sure that they cannot just take your money because you have sensitive data on there. Take somebody with you as a witness and tell the expert all about it. Let him acknowledge that info and accept your request.
