Re: Cannot restore my BTC wallet with a seed frase.

Electrum does not generate bip39 seed phrases. So, you can only recover your electrum seed phrase using electrum.
I think I started to remember smth. I could generate an electrum seed fraze. Then when restoring selected Bip39 "to check compatibility", ignoring "bip39 checksum failed". Electrum allowes that. (I didn't know it altered adresses). Then probably changed smth in derivation path.
The question is how do I check all derivation paths, knowing seed fraze and 2 adresses.

Firstly it’s “seed phrase” and not “seed fraze” , I saw no one was correcting you about that but it’s all good..
If you did that then  it won’t have a valid seed  either and can’t be imported on other BIP39 wallets because it’s an electrum seed.. Also, what do you need the derivation path for, you said the wallet was created with electrum, not complicated because it’s recent and you probably got a native segwit wallet
