App unable to sync, cannot extract private keys, don't even know if I own this address

[Jademalo]

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

There you go, you deserve it !

Thanks for saving the community !

doge_android_dump_darwin_amd64.zip

@dogehelp 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

[trapiche-n]

ahhh! fork of https://github.com/jleni/wallet-decrypt also get the seed phrase and the path derivation

[langerhans]

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.

[trapiche-n]

@langerhans I apologize

[trapiche-n]

@IIbisu

@trapiche-n openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -a -in dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29 (1) -out dogecoin-wallet-decrypted this is the argument i put on openssl, maybe i should try with the file from @langerhans ? but are there any extra steps after downloading the zip file ?

(1) This is not a valid argument!

[IIbisu]

@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

[Abde5]

@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

[trapiche-n]

@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

[dogehelp]

@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

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"

[IIbisu]

@trapiche-n it seems the name of my file is really dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29 (1)

[trapiche-n]

@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

[trapiche-n]

1@IIbisu : please list your folder and paste result

[Abde5]

@IIbisu I answered you https://github.com/langerhans/dogecoin-wallet-new/issues/68#issuecomment-770087332

[IIbisu]

@Abde5 Yes, thanks i tried it but it doesn't seem to work too, maybe i did it wrong, here is the screen

here is the -help

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?

[trapiche-n]

@IIbisu: what is (exact) your backup file name??

check wallet language seed phrase: It could be Spanish English, Chinese...etc

hahahah thank you!

[IIbisu]

@trapiche-n i did not change the backup file name, it was named : dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29 (1)

[IIbisu]

I also tried doing another backup file and sent it to my pc so it was named dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-30 but it didn't even find it even though it is on the pc

[matthanc]

In case someone needs:

How to export from Langers Hans' android dogecoin wallet to coinomi wallet

1. Make a backup of the wallet (transfer it to the computer)
2. 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
3. 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").
4. In coinomi wallet choose "recover a wallet"
5. Insert the seed phrase (it will also ask for a password for the new wallet)
6. In coins list find dogecoin and click on check and also on the gear icon There Enter the derivation path --> M/0H
7. That's it ... the balance should appear

Thanks for this! I missed a step and forgot to enter the derivation path before clicking next. Is this why I'm not seeing the coins in Coinomi? Do I need to reload everything and do it again?

[trapiche-n]

@IIbisu you are not finding the file, try renaming the file to doge-bck and try again @matthanc you have to start over.... possibly the application will not accept your seed phrase again because I already use it, you will have to find the wallet file on your device and delete it and start over

Yeah, just delete that wallet and create a new one without missing that step. Worked for me.

[IIbisu]

@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!

[trapiche-n]

@IIbisu: I have tried in win 10 and openssl to decrypt perfectly ... hope you almost have it

[moonmoondoge]

@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

[IIbisu]

@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

[moonmoondoge]

@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.

[IIbisu]

@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

[moonmoondoge]

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.

[Abde5]

@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 :)

[IIbisu]

@Abde5 Thanks ! It seems i'm one step closer, now i have this

[Abde5]

@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

[xbijin81]

Thank you so much it worked like a charm! Sent a little thank you @trapiche-n !

[PaulUrs]

@moonmoondoge What is this .zip file you downloaded?

[IIbisu]

@Abde5 i feel like i'm near but when i click on next nothing is happening ...

[Abde5]

@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.

I sent some to @trapiche-n but it takes some time to transfer, I'll try again later.

[PaulUrs]

@IIbisu What zip file did moonmoondoge use to extract the .exe file?

[dogehelp]

./dogecoin_android_dump

./dogecoin_android_dump/Users/MYNAME/Desktop/dogecoin-wallet-backup-2021-01-29

Does this seem right please? I tried and it said no such file or directory

[moonmoondoge]

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.

doge_android_dump.zip

@cryptonewb69420 this one, there also is a mac version in this thread somewhere but not sure if that one works, I used this pc version

[PaulUrs]

@moonmoondoge Thanks man!

@Abde5 What if it say "Bad decrypt"? I got an error message too bad decrypt 8456:error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_decryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt

[dogehelp]

Hey guys I tried to use the mac version of the android dump using the command (./doge_android_dump) in terminal and it said permission denied! What else could I try? Thanks

[PaulUrs]

@moonmoondoge @Abde5 @langerhans You guys are fucking awesome, I was losing my mind trying to figure out how to get this crap to work. BIG thanks

After I used a HEX editor (Frhed), I can't seem to find the 12 keywords mentioned in the steps. Anyone can help?

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.

[tub944]

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.
