P. S. I am starting to think my .json file is invalid/incorrect because it has a lot of other characters than one shown in this video:

You would get a different error if it's caused by an invalid wallet.aes.json's payload/format.
We'll see if you've copied the wrong response (payload) after fixing the current issue with the pathing error.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:/XXX/recovery/wallet.aes.json'

I have made a new directory and pasted the .json file there, but getting this error.

If you're positive that the path is correct and existing, the only Windows thing that may have caused this is its default hidden "common file extension" option.

If you initially created a text file to make that wallet file, its actual name may be "wallet.aes.json.txt" with hidden ".txt" extension.
So, try to enable the settings in your Windows Explorer in "View->Show->File Name Extensions", then rename the wallet file correctly.

Ok let me tell you what I did.

I used btc_address_dump "INSERT MNEMONIC PHRASES HERE" command.

This dumped private keys (Hex, WIF), public key and legacy address.

Upon checking the address in public explorer, I found there are no transactions at all?!

I mean, if there's no activity at all (and most importantly, NO BALANCE!) then what's the point of recovering this wallet in the first place?

Afaik, there's supposed to be some balance from back "then".

If it's safe, can I share my public address here, so you can have a look yourselves?

Thanks. Let me know.
