Ah thanks it worked better to stipulate the output file. It was fiddling with the kernel before then and seemed quite interesting but not something that was helpful.
I now have the file... I'll have to convert it later since my pi only has java 1 and any attempt to update it fails...

Any idea of the version of OpenSSL they used. I found this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/403314/bad-magic-number-on-decrypt which says they've changed magic numbers at least once.
I used OpenSSL for decrypting encrypted keys like private/wif keys generated from coinb.in with AES-256 Password encrypted. What are you trying to achieve using OpenSSL?
Are you trying to decrypt the seeds?
I don't know what version exactly you need but I think you must always use the latest version of OpenSSL because it supports most of the encrypted text or file.
Did you try something like this code.
Code:
enc -d -aes-256-cbc -p -md md5 -a -in plain1.txt -out plainout1.txt
Plain1.txt must be your seed and plainout1.txt is the decrypted file or text generated from plain1.txt.

LOL... 10/10 for observation skills... Just glad I'm not the only one who has done this sort of thing! hahaha 
Guess you'll need to fire up the old btcrecover and use the seedrecover.py script to figure out what your mistake is... if you know at least one address (that is close to the beginning of the derivation path), it should be able to figure it out in a reasonable amount of time.

I have the wallet on my phone so I can just use another backup file (that one was 2 years ago so I'm not surprised it's wrong). I'm curious as to what it was for now though...
I'm trying to avoid paying the high ish fees because they make it 2/3 of my profit margin
.And 0.002 as apposed to 0.0002.

Wait... did Electrum not give you a "BIP39 checksum: failed" message on the seed input screen? 
That would be extremely odd if it didn't... I mean, I know it will happily let you use seeds with a "failed" checksum when you have BIP39 seed selected... but it should at least warn you! Or were you trying to restore on the command line on the Pi?

No I was doing it on electrum gui. Not sure what I've done wrong. I might just have to see if I can salvage the old laptop it's on...
It did give a warning message but I wasn't looking as it printed it in the same place as a correct word phrase would.

Aha!
I put the seed into I Coleman (after pulling out the ethernet) and found that it says there's a checksum error. I'll probably have to go back and restore it although maybe I'll just try it on a different computer since it could be the arm chip that is failing.

I tested it... it is definitely m/0' for the wallet I created today.
The "full" path to the first address is actually m/0'/0/0... Electrum seems to automagically add the first "0" when it starts looking for "receive" addresses... and then the 2nd "0" for address at index 0.
If you use bitcoinj and do a dump with --dump-privkeys, you'll see something like this right at the end of the dump:
For reference, the full dump of my testing wallet is:

Yeah I tried m/0' and m/0'/0' I think...
It's potentially m/0'/0 I was just wondering if anyone knew of the top of their heads so I don't have to brute force it.

Ahhhh ok, right, you extracted the seed from the backup wallet file by decrypting and then dumping it out using bitcoinj... fair enough.
In that case... in Electrum, try using "Legacy" as the script type, and setting the Derivation Path to: m/0'
That should generate the correct addresses.

No it came from that wallet and I've done the restore twice before but I don't exactly know where the wallet file is (but I definitely have the seed and it's definitely worked twice before). The trick is to take the proto bug wallet, convert it to bitcoinj and then dump the seed...
March 15, 2019, 03:57:48 PM
... and now I'm stuck with a seed on my phone and no idea how to use it (I'm restoring on my raspberry pi for security reasons, can anyone help me the schilbach wallet fees are a bit high).
What exactly are you trying to restore from? As far as I know, Bitcoin Wallet for Android does not provide a seed mnemonic at all... it simply uses (encrypted) backup files? Are you sure that this "seed" that you have is from the Bitcoin Wallet for Android? Or did you get it from another wallet?
March 15, 2019, 11:23:40 AM
I've been going through the front page here trying to find the derivation path! I remembered everything but that and now I'm stuck with a seed on my phone and no idea how to use it (I'm restoring on my raspberry pi for security reasons, can anyone help me the schilbach wallet fees are a bit high).
