Re: [HOW-TO] Export/extract private keys from your Bitcoin Wallet for Android

Finally sorted it! Thanks. Yes, I did follow step 3, but I had to modify it to get rid of an SSL error: openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -a -in bitcoin-wallet-backup -out decrypted_wallet

Also I had to insert an additional step before step 5 to decrypt the PIN-protection I had set for sending bitcoins on the phone. If you have set a sending PIN on your phone and you don't do this step you won't get your private keys at step 5, only the public keys and initialisation vectors etc. You need to run: ./wallet-tool --decrypt --password= --wallet=decrypted_wallet.

I found the instructions for wallet-tool very helpful also: https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj/blob/master/tools/src/main/resources/org/bitcoinj/tools/wallet-tool-help.txt

The whole process is a bit long-winded, but it does work and I have finally recovered my Bitcoin Cash from my phone after the split - Whoopee!

Thanks for all your help.

Good to hear and thanks for adding this information!

well then, i've just thought to add my progress too.. yerr-nahh it hasn't worked for me, or more so i havn't worked for it...it's running and all, but seems to be going backwards, each time i open it i gota wait more days... i think i muffed the files transfere and it's going back and replacing blocks, i can see a mix of seeds in there and there is no date on the block files when the program is closed...it'll be my fault.... it was a long process installing deb8 for my usbwifi then upgrading to deb9 then a sid kernel...then it did what the instruction said it wouldnt do, ie got the 4.8 berkley in...then i worked out i prolly didnt install it in the right place, nonetheless i take the blame, mite try electron now, seems much easier just a client an all'...

HCP made this guide as well which might work better for you.

Although, if you're still stuck, I can try to get them out for you (but that'd require you to trust me with your private keys, you might want to move your bitcoins out first at least).
