There is obviously some sort of shenanigans going on here... Based on the "wallet corruption detected" message, my initial thoughts are that the OP has "bought" a "fake" wallet from someone thinking that they had 331,000+ BTC in it.
I've heard of the "fake" Bitcoin Core wallet.dat's... but never seen/heard of a fake Electrum wallet until now. Although, it probably wouldn't be that difficult to fake given that the non-encrypted wallet files are essentially just JSON text.
I'm also curious as to why the OP has the revealer plugin enabled? Refer to icon here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/electrum/gui/icons/revealer.png
Topic: Electrum Wallet Transaction Error (Read 531 times)
hi ! how are you ? how you can help me for resolve my problem my wallet electrum.
Please i need help.
Thanks !
The error message's suggestion? It said: restore from SEED.Please i need help.
Thanks !
Yes it will fix your problem to be able to display your correct balance since the error message (wallet file corruption detected) itself indicates that there's something wrong with your wallet.
It could be something in the history, addresses or private keys.
Plus it seems like you've already kinda done that part:
I try with the XPRV but it's the same. empty wallet with balance 0.
Means that "0" is the correct balance.As for trying the file using old versions (because it was named wallet.dat), I've already explained it.
But you got the xprv key, this is now unnecessary.
i believe OP may not honest about where he got this wallet and/or transaction.
Figures.Based from his posting history,
My guess is that wallet is a result of his "quest" on finding someone who can help him "hack a wallet file".
If that's the case, he had been given a tampered wallet file; If not, .....he's trying something foolish that will never work.

This often pop-up if there's a problem with your transaction's signature or inputs.Maybe it came from a non-existing address with huge balance that was caused by the "wallet corruption error" that you've seen during startup. (from your screenshots)
Your corrupted wallet might have signed the tx using an invalid private key and/or there's an unspendable input included.
i believe OP may not honest about where he got this wallet and/or transaction.
he says he has created it himself but yet the addresses (outputs) that he is spending in his transaction don't seem to relate to each other really. it seems to me like someone created a transaction spending 13 of random high value transactions outputs worth 2200BTC and signed them with "a random" private keys. which is why each scriptsig in his transaction contains a different signature while having the same unrelated public key and as a result the OP_EQUALVERIFY step fails right in the beginning.
you can not sign transactions through Electrum or any normal wallet like this, because since the outpoints differ, the wallet doesn't just sign all with same key. this transaction is custom made with a code outside of any wallet.
I try with the XPRV but it's the same. empty wallet with balance 0.
That's what I'm not understanding. You said here that the address is empty when you look for it in a block explorer:
Yes I checked in the Blockchain and it's empty. I opened the file in the text editor but I did not find anything seed or xprv.
So it's understandable that it is also empty when you import it. Open the wallet that shows the 33k BTC balance, then go to View -> Show Addresses -> click on the "Addresses" tab, find the address that has the 33k BTC (or at least most of it) and copy it. Then look for it in a block explorer. If it really is empty, then the 33k BTC is most likely a visual bug or something similar. The block explorers are pretty much always right.
hi ! how are you ? how you can help me for resolve my problem my wallet electrum.

Forget exporting private keys and other stuffs, the (wallet file corruption detected) 1st error's "suggestion" will fix your problem.
Only very OLD versions of Electrum have a ".dat" extension, was that from a very old version?
Otherwise, it isn't an Electrum wallet file.
Try to open another copy of the original electrum/wallet.dat (not the previous one that you've opened) using the lowest version v1.8.1 available here.
Then either extract the SEED or export the private keys to be imported to the latest version.
..next line

Your corrupted wallet might have signed the tx using an invalid private key and/or there's an unspendable input included.

The server returned an error when broadcasting the transaction.
Consider trying to connect to a different server, or updating Electrum.
This is a generic error message, you can disregard this one.Consider trying to connect to a different server, or updating Electrum.

Interesting case.
331,831.76479402 BTC is at risk?
Must be something is wrong there but whatever the case, I wish there are these many BTC do not get stuck.
By the way, just looked at OPs post history and some of the posts I thought worth quoting,
1st page archive: http://archive.is/Fk2Ns
2nd page archive: http://archive.is/BkD1p
So, I have my conclusion. I seriously doubt about the issue here. OP is making a platform here to gain something out from it. Not sure what it could be though.

Hmm... so... do you really have a balance of 331831 BTC in your wallet? Something doesn't seem right here. Where did you get this wallet from?
Is this really an Electrum wallet? I see it has a ".dat" extension (or that's just its name) on the wallet file, which would be a Bitcoin Core wallet.

This is exactly my thoughts about the OP's issues here. I mean you own a lot of BTC and it seems that you don't know how to even import or sweep your privatekey in other wallet software? Something is not right here, just saying.
However, I too think OP don't have such much amount of BTC, it's a bug possibly.
Can you try importing your private key into Coinomi wallet (https://www.coinomi.com/en/downloads/) and update us if it works?
As long as you have private key, you should be able to access your coins anywhere. I suggested Coinomi as I have been using it, you are free to choose other wallet as well.
Also, if you encounter any trouble restoring your wallet in Coinomi, feel free to contact me. I'll help if I can.

how import private key in Coinomi ?
Just download it for your platform from here (https://www.coinomi.com/en/downloads/) >> install >> restore wallet.
You do have private keys/seed, right? Cause I'm bit confused with previous comments here.
I have all private key. i done to download Coinomi
Apparently, you can't import electrum seed into Coinomi.
Request to op, please try using mycellium wallet, as it supports 12 word seed import.

Since, you have 0 coin checked by your address, I think you should give up on this. This is likely to be a bug. Can you please tell more information about your bitcoin like earlier asked by TryNinja, that would help you to get confirmed what's going on.

Yes I checked in the Blockchain and it's empty. I opened the file in the text editor but I did not find anything seed or xprv.
If it's empty, then... it's empty. Again, where did you get this wallet from? Is it really yours? Did you create and deposited/mined these coins or something like this? Not many people supposedly have 33k BTC in a wallet. Actually, according to this[1] site, only 106 addresses have 10k+ BTC (most are inactive).[1] https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html
Of course that the wallet belongs to me and I have all the information of this wallet.
first of all to be sure you have the correct Electrum wallet and not a malicious one you must verify its digital signature with the correct public key of the developer. checking your history,... is not a proof!
as for the failure to broadcast that transaction, it is simply because it is an invalid transaction and the server error is pretty clear. it is most probably because the public key provided inside the scriptsig is not the same public key that exists in the scriptpubkey (the hash of it) which is why it fails on OP_EqualVerify step.
try signing the transaction with the correct private key instead!
and if you really did that, then post the raw transaction here and i can tell you exactly what you did wrong.

Frankly, I do not know what you ask me. send me your contact in PM and you will explain the procedure.
Thank you for your help.
