DETAILS :
I have armory  wallet from 2016 that im restoring (yes forgot all about it till now )  guess 90grand per coin is the reason.  not sure what version armory was on for that drive crashed  but i have a backup paper copy of my 2 wallets. . I see that its a 2 line code 1.35c version  . I also read that i have to download the whole bitcoin chain with  bitcoin core and or armory to review my balance ( might be wrong on that ) anyways i have downloaded the complete  665GB worth   but i do have to say i   used both bitcoin core version 27  to download  90% of it  and then used the Armory .94   for the remaining 10 %    i dont know why i did that but hope they were compatible . I used the standard  settings  on both  so files are in the APPDATA folder. .  

Armory did except the paper backup  values on my restore   and they match my wallet IDs  , they are listed in armory

WONDERING:
Did i corrupt the download  using both to download the chain and blocks  and have to do it all over again?    
Armory doesnt show a balance  just 3 dots in the balance, it should be at least show ZERO if no balance  right ?
I read about electrum to import the base 58 keys from each armory wallet export, using the no space and  all unused  settings .  
I know about the Base58  keys  and i have them with no spaces exported ,   did a import  in electrum   but nothing shows up in their either


MY ISSUE:
 Armory never gets out of the offline mode bottom right corner ,  never  get out of the initialization bitcoin engine. (well its green solid  bar) maybe that means done in version .95
 Building DATABASE  is blank and its spinning the green white circle   to the right
Scan transaction history is blank 0%
my Balance only shows 3 dots      no 0.00       So i suspect something is broken
I have tried the restan balance
i have tried the rescan database
i have let my  laptop run for over 48 hours  , 3.3gz , hard drive is NVME M.2 so its fast
I know the Rbuild and rescan will wipe all my blocks and chain an force me to redownload the 670GB  all over again . so dont want to if i dont have to


FROM the DEBUG
i see this and wonder if my downloads are bad  but this changes after i close  and re open armory multiple time
Imported mempool transactions from file: 506 succeeded, 5434 failed, 0 expired, 0 already there, 0 waiting for initial broadcast
2024-11-25T07:18:56Z Imported mempool transactions from file: 4054 succeeded, 4397 failed, 0 expired, 0 already there, 0 waiting for initial broadcast
2024-11-25T07:41:05Z Writing 10213 mempool transactions to file...Imported mempool transactions from file: 4054 succeeded, 4397 failed,

MY REQUEST
 how can i verify i have  a good restore  and the verify the balance  is accurate ?.
How can i tell from the DEBUG  armory is not stalling out on some type of error?
do i need to re download  using maybe latest  Armory .96.5

i just read i should download the complete blockchain , then add wallets on restore     i may not have done in that order is it that critical ?
if i have to re do it all over  due my dumbness   what is the best order .. ?


thanks
