Heya folks. I have some magic internet money that I stored in the bitcoin wallet for Blackberry 10. This is the same wallet as the android one, although the versioning seems to work differently.

I made a backup in October of my wallet, and recently my phone went kablooie. However, I am unable to recover the bitcoins from my backup file. When I put the backup file in the Download folder in an android phone (I ensured this was the correct folder), the android app did not see the backup. Same with a blackberry phone running the latest bitcoin wallet.

Manual decryption is giving me no dice either. When I run the following command:
Code:
openssl enc -d -p -aes-256-cbc -a -in -bitcoin-wallet-backup-2016-10-24 -pass:MYPASSWORDHERE > bitcoin-wallet-decrypted-backup
I get the following output:
Code:
error reading input file

Perhaps the backup file is corrupted? The size is 33,697 bytes. Any help would be greatly appreciated, folks!
