1. What exactly you want to do/achieve? It's likely you fall to XY problem.
2. Aside from Bitcoin address, what data/information do you have? Master private key, recovery seed, raw entropy?

I guess he is thief who have found some specific amount of btc and he is aware of prison sentence. So now he must prove that he own that wallet. Only proof he can get is root key or wallet seed. 🤔 He can't find non of that.😂🤣
I hate thief's😡

Thief usually would ask how to obtain private key, recovery seed or decrypt wallet file rather than BIP32 root key.

You might want to start off with explaining what you want to achieve (or what happened).

If you only have the address, you can't get any sensitive information (private key, bip32 seed, xpub, etc.. ) out of it.

The only way to get the bip32 root key (master private key; xpriv) is to have the master public key (xpub) and one child private key.
With this information, you will be able to calculate the xpriv.

Besides that, there is no option.


What happened ? Did you somehow lose it ? Why do you have access to ONLY the address ?

Based on my understanding of what you have said, you cannot go from an address to a 'root key,' or master private key, only the other way around.
