Like had been explained by Mia Chloe
You got another wallet because you didn't use your seedphrase in generating the private key
Which gives access to your wallet.

There is no need to stress yourself hashing the private key if you have the seed phrase (besides wallet do that automatically as long as the seed checksum is right) infact on a solid basis, the seed phrase is mostly important because it's there the master private key gets hashed from and subsequently the child keys which are in turn hashed from the master private key. People prefer to work with seed phrase because they are like a compressed form of the master private key and child keys and are easier to work with and also store. Not all wallets work with private keys but all work with seed phrases.

To do that first you have to set up your new ledger wallet by accessing the wallet via your seed phrase.

Exactly. I have zero idea on how to do this.

I'm sorry Op I don't know much about ledger especially since they added a cloud storage option a long time ago. I suggest you work with OmegaStarScream link it has a quite straightforward guide.

I wouldn't recommend using ledger because of certain issues pertaining to it and it not been really open sourced but stated otherwise.

If you still insist in using ledger

Open ledger live app
Choose option to recover existing wallet and enter your seedphrase.">Fuck you ledger

I think he may want to import the seed phrase instead but I think following Mia Chloe sweeping advice would be good. Which means you will need to move the coins on the address of the seed phrase that is generated on Ledger.

Although, I do not trust Ledger because the seed phrase generation is on a close source secure element. You can use any other BIP 39 hardware wallet (or any online BIP39 wallet but an online wallet is not recommended) to have access to your coins.

If you want to send the coin to an address generated on Ledger through sweeping, I will recommend him to use this guide to transfer the coin instead if he do not want the Trezor keys to be online for safe transaction: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html

What you are trying to do is referred to as sweeping funds. To do that first you have to set up your new ledger wallet by accessing the wallet via your seed phrase. After that you can access the funds in your old trezor wallet by accessing the wallet via the seed phrase on any safe wallet software. I will recommend you do that with an open source wallet software and a secure internet connection.

Put in your old wallet seed in the software wallet preferably ELECTRUM and then send the funds from there to the new wallet via the address you copied As long you are successfully in you new wallet, make sure to get your correct wallet address and make sure your internet connection is safe also.

You should be able to recover your funds in pretty much every wallet out there. Obviously not recommended if you're holding a large amount (which I'm guessing is the case here otherwise you wouldn't be using a hardware wallet).

I'm not that familiar with ledger but i would imagine the wallet gave you the ability to either create a new account/seedphrase or recover one? You should've went with the recovery option. This should help:

This has to have been covered before, but I can't find a thread.

I have a Trezor cold wallet, which I've been using for several years. But its stopped working and seems to be physically broken inside. I have the seed phrase, so I should be able to recover the bitcoin, but I can't find any directions on how to do that. I bought a Ledger cold wallet, but when I installed, it created a new seed phrase.

Can anyone point me to a newbies step-by-step on how to get btc off the Trezor and onto the Ledger?
Failing that, into my Coinbase account?
Failing that, do I need to buy a new Trezor?

Any help appreciated!
