Has there been any progress on this? I've gone through the CLI, but got an error output of:
-snip-
All hope lost in recovering this?
Through Bitcoin Core and its tools? No since you've already tried "
salvage" and it can't do anything.
Try the other options like pywallet or other tools that can search for raw private keys from a file or directory and hope that there's still intact data in your corrupted wallet file.
For pywallet (
link), use
--recover command on a disk (
preferably a small partition) where a copy of your "
untouched" wallet.dat is located.
Example command is:
python pywallet.py --recover --recov_device="RECOVERY_DIRECTORY" --recov_size=1Gio --recov_outputdir="OUTPUT_DIRECTORY"
Edit "
RECOVERY_DIRECTORY" and "
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY" accordingly.
