I am having trouble using a back up sync wallet.dat. I sent sync to my wallet and I was having trouble getting it connected so I had to delete it but saved the wallet.dat file. I was finally able to get the wallet to connect to the network and then tried to replace the wallet.dat file but it does not seem to be working. Does anyone know how to fix this?
if you have synced wallet you can try this command line key one by one until issue will be resolved (you must backup your "wallet.dat" before):
-rescan
-reindex
-salvagewallet
I tried those commands and it said method not found. I see the transaction on the block explorer and I still have the same address, not sure why it isn't working.
assuming it don't lock, go into the debug console and type dumpwallet and it will export the wallet to a text file. Then backup your wallet.dat file, delete it from the active folder, and sync. Once you're in sync, go again to the console and type importwallet and it should import all of your previous keys and transactions. It worked for me.
I tried these and my wallet still has 0 Sync. When I first downloaded a wallet I sent Sync to it but couldnt get it to connect to the network so I saved the wallet.dat file directly from the AppData/Roaming/Sync folder and then downloaded the newest version of the wallet. I still can't seem to recover this backup and would appreciate anyone that could help me.
