Thanks, I finally chose MyEthereWallet. Generally, it is my favorite online wallet for Ethereum. I did not know that the seeds from Ledger nano work with MEW because I was not aware that mnemonic phrase means the 12 or 24 words seed.

According to ledger's article about restoring ETH:

Download and run the BIP39 tool (https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39)
Select 'Ethereum' and BIP32
Enter the derivation path m/44'/60'/0'/

Your first private key will be the one with the path m/44'/60'/0'/0.
The second private key will be the one with the path m/44'/60'/0'/1, and so on.

But make sure to get the tool from github and run it on an offline machine. You might be compromising your seed if you run the tool on an online pc.
Afterwards you'll just need to import the private keys into a compatible wallet.

My Ledger nano S seems to be broken. I have my 24 words seed.
How I can I restore my ETH (several ETH addresses are derived from seed) using a ETH software wallet? Which software wallet does support the seed?

Can you describe what the problem is with you Ledger Nano S, do you have problems with the device itself or it is sometning software/firmware related? You did not mentioned any other coin, are you already find a way to transfer them with your seed or you only have ETH on Ledger?

There is good solutions from jhenfelipe for importing seed in some alternative wallets, but keep in mind that after you do this procedure that seed can no longer be considered safe. I'm telling you this for a reason if you maybe have any other coin which is connected to that seed.

From what I see this tutorial gives pretty clear steps for recovering as many private keys you want if you have the 24-words seed and the password too (if you had any).

Of course, you should not use the tool online, at the bottom of the page there's info how to use it offline.

If you have too many addresses this option may take you quite a while to work with all of them and maybe somebody knows a proper wallet that can do the same job...
