App unable to sync, cannot extract private keys, don't even know if I own this address
Jademalo opened this issue · comments
I downloaded the app earlier in order to buy some dogecoin, and after starting it it showed me an address. I gave this to the broker as the address to send the coins to.
Since then, the app has refused to sync even a single block. It's stuck on 2706000, dated 01/05/2019. Occasionally a peer will show, but nothing will change.
I'm inexperienced with how crypto wallets work, and I'm now extremely concerned that this address isn't "mine" since the wallet is unable to sync with the network. If that is the case, then I've had a load of doge just vanish into the aether.
I've attempted to extract the private keys from the backup in order to try and use dogechain.info instead, but this didn't lead anywhere. And as I said, I'm not sure it would even matter since the app that generated the wallet in the first place is unable to sync to the blockchain.
Please advise what to do here, since right now I've got zero access to the coins I bought, and there seems to be nothing I can do. I'm at the mercy of this app actually syncing to the blockchain.
Thanks
Good news: the wallet is yours you will get coins afterall
Bad news: synchronizing will take ages before that you can do nothing. Private key can not be exported anyhow as well.
So-so news: synchronizing finally began to work but super slowly.
Thanks for that good news, that was stressing me out no end. I've already been screwed over by the broker for a good 50%, let alone the volatility of the coins. At least knowing I have them is a bit of comfort.
Mine isn't syncing. No peers, stuck on 01/05/2019. Even if a peer appears, the chain doesn't change.
that's why the doge price so high, because we can't do anything to it. hahaha

Pehaps so
Hey @langerhans, super happy to see some activity from you in the other thread.
Isn't it possible for us to somehow extract the private keys of the receive addresses? So we can still move the coins?
I tried extracting keys from the archive but I only ended up with 4 empty addresses, none of which was the address I send the coins to, I guess the receive addresses aren't included in the archive?
So can we extract those privkeys somehow? Or can we bootstrap the app so speed up the syncing?
Game problem here.
If anyone finds a solution, please let me know. Tried everything...
Just thinking about that, even if you do get the privkeys out, where are you planning to put them? There aren't really any wallets besides Dogecoin Core that accept raw private keys. At least none that I'm aware of.
@langerhans dogechain.info e.g.

How to export from Langers Hans' android dogecoin wallet to coinomi wallet
-
Make a backup of the wallet and transfer it to the computer (If you have a "spending PIN" remove it before making the backup [essential])
-
with openssl decrypt the backup (use the password with which the wallet was saved):
openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -a -in YOUR-dogecoin-wallet-backup-FILENAME -out dogecoin-wallet-decrypted -
With a HEX editor open decrypted file (I use GHex) The 12 keywords (seed phrase) will be easily visible at the beginning of the file (near the string "org.dogecoin.production").
-
In coinomi wallet choose "recover a wallet"
-
Insert the seed phrase (it will also ask for a password for the new wallet)
-
In coins list find dogecoin and click on check and also on the gear icon
There Enter the derivation path --> M/0H -
That's it ... the balance should appear
Holy @trapiche-n you made my day! Thank you so much please give your doge wallet address, I need to send you a small "thank you"
Oh wow @trapiche-n , that's amazing!
Is there any way to do this to generate the key directly rather than having to use coinomi, so it can be added to something like dogechain.info?

If you have access via coinomi, you may send it to another wallet from there
I more mean for future reference, if coinomi isn't available for whatever reason

What worries me the most is that we can never be sure if this whole thing is just a fad that will die before I receive my Dogecoins. @trapiche-n 's solution is way too cumbersome for me (jusy started coding)
@Jademalo found something...
Enter your mnemonic there
Choose doge coin
Go to deviation path, select the BIP32-Tab and set this as your custom path:
m/0'/0
you now should see your address and keys in the first line of the table
Ye, what @trapiche-n did wasn't magical or something. @WindowsGott50 had already tried this with the same website @firlus just mentioned but couldn't find the right settings. Let me try it with your settings.
Edit: Yep that's it.
I played with the settings until I saw my address popping up :D
Oh, it worked! Amazing, thank you so much @firlus.
I'd tried that earlier, but didn't know the correct derivation path. I had only tried m/0 and /0'
On another note, I just had a notification through on my phone that a transaction had appeared in my wallet. However now I can't open the app, and it just hangs.
Happy to help, let's now continue to get dogecoin to $1! @LevitatingBusinessMan, @Jademalo
in my case ancoleman.io/bip39/ tool was never able to regenerate wallets private keys .....
but with m/0' path I was able to regenerate extended private key only

Thank you man! The path m/0'/0 was the thing I was missing. I now too was able to recover my funds from the wallet, though of course, my exchange of choice is currently suspending Doge deposits and withdrawals, how come?

I am waaaayyy to amateur to be knowing how to handle those steps suggested by @trapiche-n
Is there somebody who can help a layman like me?
with openssl decrypt the backup (use the key with which the wallet was saved): openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -a -in dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-10 -out doge-coin-wallet-decrypt
Can someone explain this part? I entered the code but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. Am I supposed to replace dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-10 with my backup file name?
After doing that, it prompts me
Extra arguments given. enc: Use -help for summary.
Is this good?
@firlus OK. I just emailed you to the address on your profile. Thank you so much man.
A WORD OF CAUTION:
If random people on the internet ask you for your wallet files, either backups or passwords or seed phrases. DO NOT SEND THEM. I'm not saying anyone in this thread will scam you, but keep that in mind as a general rule of thumb.
Hi, I imported the seed to coinomi, also tried dogecoin.info online wallet. For both of them I can import my wallet, but balance is not showing up. What could be the issue?
Hmm, but I'm using the M/0'/0 as described. Which of the private keys should I import? Or doesn't it matter?
Nope, sadly not. But I sure used the right mmnoic and derivation path.

Thanks a ton, @firlus great job. Hint: Change is found at path "m/0'/1" (Ian Coleman tool), in case s/o ever sent something to s/o.

I'm a complete newb when it comes to code, and i can't seem to succeed at the second step: i replace the YOUR-dogecoin-wallet-backup-FILENAME with my filename but the only response from openssl is "Extra arguments given" and it's not giving me any new file that should be decrypted, what can i do ? Anyway, thanks for the time you're taking to respond to these questions. @trapiche-n
@IIbisu What version of openssl do you have?
@trapiche-n Win64OpenSSL_Light-1_1_1i
Hey folks,
I started working on a small tool to simplify that process. It dumps the seed phrase which you can then use in other wallets or to derive your private keys. This is in super rough shape but I have tested it with a backup of the current android wallet and it works for me.
To use it unpack the exe file somewhere and then drag the wallet backup file onto it. Caveat: It doesn't support wallets that had a spending pin set yet. Let me know if it works for you and I'll get it in better shape.
Hey guys - is there a solution for mac? I transferred the backup file to my macbook and after that I am stuck. Thanks
@IIbisu
I am using OpenSSL 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018 ubuntu 18.04, please check if your arguments is correct with openssl help

Built it for mac but can't test it. Might need to use terminal to run it. Not sure if Mac supports drag and drop like that.

What command would I need to put in to do that please? Sorry for the dumb question, just trying my best to sort it out instead of waiting for the app to sync. Thank you
ahhh! fork of https://github.com/jleni/wallet-decrypt
also get the seed phrase and the path derivation
It's not a fork of that, I just wrote it mostly from scratch lol.
@dogehelp unzip the file, open a terminal, cd to the folder where you unpacked it and run ./dogecoin_android_dump /path/to/your/wallet . As I said I can't test it.
@langerhans
I apologize

(1) This is not a valid argument!
@trapiche-n what should i do to make it valid, i'm really confused, i thought i just had to replace one part of your argument to make it work, thanks for your time too
@trapiche-n what should i do to make it valid, i'm really confused, i thought i just had to replace one part of your argument to make it work, thanks for your time too
put your argument between ' -> openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -a -in 'dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29 (1)' -out dogecoin-wallet-decrypted
@IIbisu
try:
openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -a -in dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29 -out dogecoin-wallet-decrypted
dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29 is your backup file name
@IIbisu
try:
openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -a -in dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29 -out dogecoin-wallet-decrypteddogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29 is your backup file name
So this should run on terminal on macos as well? I got a response saying "No such file or directory", when I deleted the space between -in and the file name, it came back with some "valid ciphername values"
@trapiche-n
it seems the name of my file is really dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29 (1)
@dogehelp: There is a version of openssl for mac out there to do the job if you like ... but they have to use the command line...
also work but your need python (2.x) and protobuf lib

Hi All, I've been reading through the guidance and have retrieved my 12 keywords (seed phrase) from the decrypted wallet backup, but Coinami will not accept the words used in my phrase. They are definitely words, not gibberish or anything and there are 12 of them... Any ideas?
@IIbisu: what is (exact) your backup file name??

Yeah, just delete that wallet and create a new one without missing that step. Worked for me.
@trapiche-n It's still not finding it even after being renamed :(

Wow, turns out there was a random character attached to the front of the first word of my seed phrase that happened to make another real word (IE first word was eel, hex decode showed peel)... Wow, glad to have that sorted. Thanks for all the help guys. You're seriously the best!
@IIbisu: I have tried in win 10 and openssl to decrypt perfectly ... hope you almost have it
@langerhans just wanted to let you know I tried to use your dump tool on windows, worked like a charm. Big thanks to everyone in this thread helping us non coders out :D
@moonmoondoge hey ! could you please describe precisely for a non-coder how you used the dump tool ? i'm kind of having trouble with it right now
@IIbisu yes ofcourse. I downloaded the zip file and took out the .exe file that was in it and placed it on my desktop. I placed my back up file on my desktop aswell and simply dragged the backup file icon on top of the .exe file icon.
A black window (cmd/terminal thing) opened and I had to enter the password linked to my recovery.
once entered it gave me my recovery phrase I could use in coinomi.
Important note from one of the comments above : "In coins list find dogecoin and click on check and also on the gear icon
There Enter the derivation path --> M/0H"
if you don't do this your coins won't show up.
Hope that helps.
@moonmoondoge
It's putting an error message saying that maybe i do not have the autorization to access the file when i tried to drag the backup file on the icon
I did get a warning from my Norton anti virus to confirm if I trusted the file or not, so maybe it has something to do with your windows not allowing you to run the file? are you administrator on your pc? Maybe Langerhans knows what the issue might be.
@trapiche-n It's still not finding it even after being renamed :(
I see that you're not a programmer, so im going to explain you how to use the console:
In the command line you are not at the right directory. Check in what directory your file is (maybe C:/Users/xxx/Downloads).
Grab that directory and use the command "cd" in the terminal.
"cd C:/Users/xxx/Downloads"
And then input your openssl commands (like before)
EDIT: from your screenshot, they're located in Documents, you can go to the file folder and copy the path :)
@Abde5 Thanks ! It seems i'm one step closer, now i have this
You're done! You generated the decrypted file in the same folder as the other file, now you can follow the initial instructions of @trapiche-n
Thank you so much it worked like a charm! Sent a little thank you @trapiche-n !
@moonmoondoge What is this .zip file you downloaded?
@Abde5 i feel like i'm near but when i click on next nothing is happening ...
Did you insert the phrase? Did you click on the gear just next to the doge in the list to change the deviation path? I cannot help you more than that buddy.

Can someone help me how to use HEX editor or what hex editor is useful for windows? I tried Frhed but I can't seem to find the seed phrase or maybe I'm doing it wrong. After I open the decrypted file with hex editor I can find any meaningful words. Someone please help.
I don't think you need a HEX Editor. I just opened the decrypted file with notepad and it was a bunch of gibberish with the 12 words at the top.
