The trouble arises when we attempt to import the seed phrase into Electrum and detect an existing account. Unfortunately, every time we try, we're met with the frustrating message "No account exists!". We have changed the path and all the parameters.
For your next attempts, consider the paths and script type combinations listed in the code below "already tried"
since those are the derivation paths tested by using "Detect Existing Accounts".

By using that button, you've basically tried all standard and some non-standard derivation paths.
Your wallet must have its own unique derivation path that isn't in that list.
