This is about Electrum/PC and Coinomi/Android. I see several others here have had exactly the same problem, but I have not seen any resolution posted.
3 days ago I opened this as a support ticket with Coinomi -- no answer or reply so far:
Hello, I sent all my BTC from my Electrum wallet to Coinomi *after* the fork. Then I tried "Sweep wallet" into my (empty) BCH Coinomi wallet using the private key of one of the old Electrum BTC wallet addresses.
Coinomi says, "
This private key does not contain any funds". Yes, I know it doesn't contain funds any more -- I had sent those funds to my Coinomi wallet!
You can see the transaction where I sent my BTC from Electrum to Coinomi here:

I know Coinomi sees there are no funds in them *now*, but is there a way to let Coinomi see that I had them *then* so the Bitcoin Cash will show up?
Did I lose all my Bitcoin Cash from my pre-fork BTC by doing "Sweep wallet" *after* I had sent the BTC to Coinomi (thus emptying my Electrum wallet)? Is that BCH unavailable to me now forever?
I now realize I should have done the BCH "sweep wallet" with those private keys while the BTC funds were still in the Electrum wallet -- THEN I could have moved all my BTC to Coinomi. But the damage has been done. Does anyone reading this thread have any clue as to how I can get a hold of my Bitcoin Cash, or is it gone -- somewhere out there in limbo -- forever?
Did you use qrcode like the first poster recommended? Coinomi says you can type a private key, but copying and pasting the letters didn't work for me.
