This is about Electrum/PC and Coinomi/Android. I see several others here have had exactly the same problem, but I have not seen any resolution posted.

3 days ago I opened this as a support ticket with Coinomi -- no answer or reply so far:

Hello, I sent all my BTC from my Electrum wallet to Coinomi *after* the fork. Then I tried "Sweep wallet" into my (empty) BCH Coinomi wallet using the private key of one of the old Electrum BTC wallet addresses.

Coinomi says, "This private key does not contain any funds". Yes, I know it doesn't contain funds any more -- I had sent those funds to my Coinomi wallet!

You can see the transaction where I sent my BTC from Electrum to Coinomi here: https://blockchain.info/tx/e4b5ab39e541b96b5db238e521faae913f098f1de260e09e3645f1ada628b452

I still have the private keys of each of those 8 pre-fork fund-containing addresses. I know Coinomi sees there are no funds in them *now*, but is there a way to let Coinomi see that I had them *then* so the Bitcoin Cash will show up?

Did I lose all my Bitcoin Cash from my pre-fork BTC by doing "Sweep wallet" *after* I had sent the BTC to Coinomi (thus emptying my Electrum wallet)? Is that BCH unavailable to me now forever?

I now realize I should have done the BCH "sweep wallet" with those private keys while the BTC funds were still in the Electrum wallet -- THEN I could have moved all my BTC to Coinomi. But the damage has been done. Does anyone reading this thread have any clue as to how I can get a hold of my Bitcoin Cash, or is it gone -- somewhere out there in limbo -- forever?

Did you use qrcode like the first poster recommended? Coinomi says you can type a private key, but copying and pasting the letters didn't work for me.
