I knew on the Windows version it prints the keys. Hoping that BitcoinNewsBR can recover something!!

Yes 5862 is the total number of addresses found in the HDD
I think you won't be able to find anything more than these 5862 keys because pywallet uses a loose criterium to find keys
It drops to 965 ("Importing key 965/965") because there are duplicates, maybe you made copies of your wallets
The 13 remaining keys are either from a wallet with a different passphrase (only 13 keys is really odd though), corrupted keys because of rewriting, or not keys at all (false positives)
If you are 100% sure your address isn't in the recovered wallet I think there's not much left to try :-(
You can try the software above but pywallet does the same thing
One last question, does the recovered wallet contains the paying address, 1NJm35r6oFU3ttoUoZnqZ1nnwCH3DEbdVz?

If I didn't find the public address using this method, no other way I could get it?
You could try using a hex editor to do a sector-by-sector search of your hard drive for these bytes
01 03 6B 65 79 41 04
For each occurrence of those bytes you can find there is probably a Bitcoin private key nearby.
This is a hex editor with a suitable search function for a Mac. Its sourceforge files also include Windows and Linux versions.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxhexeditor/files/wxHexEditor/v0.23%20Beta/wxHexEditor-v0.23-MacIntel.dmg/download
This quote gives more detailed instructions, and the thread it's from might be worth reading.
I have been doing some tinkering around, thinking about other people's wallet disasters, and believe I have come to the following conclusion...
If you have lost your wallet.dat for whatever reason (deleted it, formatted your drive, file corruption, etc.) it's possible that it may still be lurking on your computer. If so, recovery is no longer purely theoretical. With a little knowledge of what to search for, you can use a hex editor to potentially find usable remnants of your wallet.dat file and get back your bitcoins, even if the original file isn't fully recoverable.
So here goes...
If you can use a hex-editor to do a sector-by-sector search/edit on your entire hard drive, then search your entire hard drive for occurrences of the following byte sequence:
01 03 6B 65 79 41 04...........
the middle four of these bytes represent the string "keyA" in ASCII.
Each time this byte sequence occurs, a Bitcoin private key is probably stored nearby, about 180 bytes later. The 32-byte private key is the only thing you need to recover your bitcoins!... as long as you find the right one(s).
Approximately 180 bytes after this sequence, you may find the byte sequence 04 20 (hex). These two bytes seem to precede every private key (the 0x20 suggests a length of 32 bytes). If you find this sequence, the thirty-two bytes that come after 04 20 are the private key representing a Bitcoin address and might be the private key that recovers some of your lost bitcoins! Your wallet will have numerous private keys (at least one hundred, due to the pre-allocation of keys)... get as many as you can find. Carefully search the sectors adjacent to any sector containing the "keyA" sequence above. Then yell for help! (But don't share the private keys in public, unless you want to give away your wallet.)
An example of a hex editor that can scan an entire disk volume for specific byte sequences for Windows is WinHex. In WinHex, use Tools, Open Disk (F9), and choose the disk you want to scan. Scanning a full disk can take hours. WinHex must "run as administrator" to be able to scan a physical disk. Someone please recommend a good way to do this in Linux, preferably with a known Live CD, if possible. Also, any time you are scanning a disk for potentially lost data, you should NEVER boot the disk you're searching - always boot from another disk and install the target disk as secondary.

OK so it runs until "DECRYPT-A" then it stops and the terminal waits for another command?
If so, I know which line is the problem but I don't get why it crashes without warning

And run it without any argument, ie no "--recover" and such, I just want it to run
Then post the line that begins with "Crypter: XXX" (it should be the first line)
Also re-run the recover command (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17610537) using each one of the 3 pywallet versions:

Using the version pywallet_BitcoinNewsBR_Crypter_pure.py worked really well! Thanks!

Using pywallet_BitcoinNewsBR_Crypter_pure.py found 965 but and it shows the right information:

But it didn't find the information I was looking for
. The wallet https://blockchain.info/pt/address/1HxeCXGT11wVwy78gsVrzFfkfdijQE9rct is not there. When I run the command it says:
Code:
Found 12 possible wallets
Found 5862 possible encrypted keys
Found 0 possible unencrypted keys
Found 5862 possible encrypted keys
Found 0 possible unencrypted keys
5862 would be the amount of address? If I didn't find the public address using this method, no other way I could get it?
It also says:
Code:
Private keys not decrypted: 13
Trying all the remaining possibilities (156) might take up to 0 minutes.
Do you want to test them? (y/n): y
Private keys not decrypted: 13
Try another password, check the size of your partition or seek help
The wallet is encrypted and the passphrase is correct

Thanks!
It seems like one of you is using windows and the other Linux. Just a heads up if you haven't realised.
BitcoinNewsBR, the error you are getting signifies that it cannot find the .Bin file that you tried to reference. Re-chrck the directory and make sure that it exists.
You also didn't change the XXX.
Thanks for pointing my mistake. The command was really wrong on my side, now it worked.
After run this command, it searched only on the .dat file so it worked.
It returned a really long information that I'm not sure If someone can use this to recover the coins for now, so that's the reason I'm not displaying it public here and sending to Jackjack in private.
The information looks like:

Thanks!

Damn I'm sorry I missed one bit of the command line (the green part, PartialRecoveryFile:), please do it again :

Ok great
Then instead of
Where LASTPYWALLETRECOVERY.dat is the last pywallet_partial_recovery_*dat you have (it shouldn't matter though as they must all be the same)
Those files contain the place where the last pywallet recovery found keys, so it just uses these instead of reading the whole disk, which means it won't take 5 hours to complete
Please confirm it works and we'll be able to solve that more easily

Hey, Jackjack.
Sorry the delay to answer! I was really not able to test on the right HD until today, traveling...
So, I tested scan directly on the recovered file - the one created by the last time we scanned the HD. This is the message that I'm receiving:
Code:
Starting recovery.

I'm not using the last version of the pywallet code. I'm not using the one you posted on day 16, January because you told not to run this version yet.
I'm using the version you posted before it.
Looks like to scan direct the file didn't work. Should I try the newest version? Let me know how to proceed.
Thanks for your attention!! I really appreciate it and sorry for the time to answer!

Hmm OK I still don't know what's happening but we'll figure it out
Do you have 'pywallet_partial_recovery_*dat' files in the output dir you use?
Download the new version but don't run it yet https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jackjack-jj/d3a9b74cef28d2f79ab113d8f3b96a82/raw/167f14db1d8b8233de7966e2f5b5cb794bc3ae0d/pywallet_BitcoinNewsBR_1.py

Yes. All the times I used the code it was generating a pywallet.dat on the output dir. We have like 4-5 pywallet partial recovery there.
The first time I used the code (before you update the code to OSX), I tried to open the Bitcoin-QT with this file but it was not possible using this file dat. It says "File corrupted."
Sorry the delay to answer, I'm traveling for work, will back on the computer with the HD that we have the problem on next Thursday (19/Jan). Let me know how to proceed then!
Thanks so much for your attention on this matter, jackjack.

Sorry for the delay
I see that pywallet does go in the decrypting loop (that starts with "Decrypting...")
Does it really stop after "Possible wallet #1 with passphrase #1"?
Nothing after that? Does it crash/freeze/whatever?
For future reference: end of the spreadsheet BitcoinNewsBR sent me

Nothing after that. It only shows this. It didn't crashed/freeze. The Terminal back as before I run the command, waiting another command.
Also it generate the .dat on the Folder that I selected on the command.

Damn I'm sorry I made a mistake, use this one: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jackjack-jj/d3a9b74cef28d2f79ab113d8f3b96a82/raw/93f90d6dfac629a692a38e955d7f241f2b9d815b/pywallet_BitcoinNewsBR_1.py
It's lost time but at least it doesn't write on the keys
By the way you can change the 1000Go to something smaller so that it will take less time

Hey, Jackjack.
It printed information as "Looking Ckey". I'm sending you in private, as I'm not sure if this information can recover the coins. Please, take a look on the spreadsheet with the return, then let me know how to proceed. Thanks!
