Ian Coleman's Mnemonic Code Converter is also an option: https://iancoleman.io/bip39/

Put in seed mnemonic, select LTC or ETH from the dropdown... and your addresses/private keys are shown at the bottom...

ETC is a little more tricky, but sill doable... Click BIP32 and then use Derivation path: m/44'/60'/160720'/0'

Note that this derivation path is for "Ledger (ETC)"... Trezor uses: m/44'/61'/0'/0

Let's say i'm in a hurry and want to cash out until new ledger nano s arrive.

I want to know for ETH, ETC and LTC how to import on software wallets.
Although I do not understand the exposure of the seed phrase of a wallet with the same security of a cold wallet into a hot wallet, you can download the corresponding wallet for each altcoin and import your seed into the wallet.

For LTC there's LTC Core (the node reference client) and Electrum LTC for desktop (SPV Client). There's also leaf wallet and Coinomi for mobile (Android)

For ETH and ETC you can use MyEtherWallet/Mycrypto, Coinomi, etc.

Coinomi, Jaxx, and Exodus are multicurrency wallets and support a vast array of altcoins.

Hi. If the ledger nano s get broken or lost and i store ETH, ETC and LTC how i can recover all coins without having a new ledger nano s?

I don't know why you wouldn't want a new ledger rather than exposing the keys and having to store several different applications.

You can probably download a corresponding wallet app and go from there with your seed and derivation path. .

I suspect electrum-ltc can handle your litecoin seed. Not sure if there's an electrum-eth or electrum-etc but there'll be a way to get those out anyway.

If you have an unused PC you can leave offline, then I'd suggest you try airgapping your private keys instead for good access (or alongside your ledger nano wallet) - just ensure it never touches the Internet while bitcoins are,on those keys.
