i'm sorry i couldn't find anything more on this. everything ends up with needing to have the seed in order to recover all the master private keys (xpriv).
there is a contact link for TrustedCoin you can use to ask for their help, maybe they can do something.
https://api.trustedcoin.com/#/contact-us

or ask a question in electrum board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=98.0 regarding how to recover your funds in a 2FA wallet in case you lost Seed/2FA (that is the similar problem).

Thanks for trying to help anyways! Looks like I have to wait until I come back from my vacation and get access to my seed phrase.

the reason why wallets show no funds is probably either they are not synced yet with the network (downloaded whole blockchain for full node, or download the whole block headers for electron cash). or it is because they are connecting (wrongfully) to bitcoin nodes instead. try manually changing the node they connect to. for example in electron cash you can do it in the Network settings (shortcut: the circle on the bottom right).

the second problem: "transaction rejected by network" is because of the issue with the 2FA in BCC wallets.
there is a workaround: you restore the wallet from your seed and before the end you check disable 2fa, with the restored wallet you can now send bitcoin cash transactions.

the route to restore in your electron cash:
* get your seed from your electrum wallet
* on electron cash go to File -> New/Restore from menu
* choose restore and choose make 2fa wallet, NOT standard
* enter your seed
* when asked to keep or disable, choose DISABLE
* change the server to electroncash.casharia... or electrum.abc

good luck.

Just wanted to thank you Herbert2020 - this trick worked on my wallet that was "stuck" since Aug 1st - I did somehow manage to create a ElectronCash wallet with the old Electrum seed and I saw the BCC and the transactionhistoery of Electrum - but this new wallet was not allowing to send out - but thanx to these simple steps I now managed to do a first send transaction! Just waiting for the netwotk to confirm it Cheesy

- if it works I will send some your way!

Regarding Coinomi, since private keys are same for both chains, have you tried:

Create a new BCH wallet (do not alter derivation paths when adding)
Sweep the same (original pre-fork btc address' private key) as a BCH key from your Coinomi BCH Overview page by clicking .../Sweep Wallet. ?

Yes, I tried that as well. It says "The private keys doesn't contain any funds" Embarrassed

Herbert2020, looks like a solution to me, but:

In 3., X2 doesnt contain any xpriv (xpriv=null), just xpub. So when I restore wallet using just one xpriv and two xpub, the created wallet shows the correct balance but doesn't allow me to send saying that the TX is partially signed 1/2. Any thoughts on that?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Everything is synced and connected to the right nodes, I triple-checked.
Also as I mentioned in the OP, I don't have access to my seed right now. So trying to find some other ways to get my BCH.

in that case do the following:
1. (only if your wallet has a password):
* from menu go to "Wallet -> Password
* enter your current password and leave the next 2 boxes empty to remove the password.
* confirm the warning saying "wallet is not encrypted"
2. find your wallet file
http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-my-wallet-file-located
3. open it in a text editor and scroll down all the way to the end, you'll see this (a test wallet i just made, .... are what i cut for bravity):

Code:

.....
    "use_encryption": false, 
    "use_trustedcoin": true, 
    "wallet_type": "2fa", 
    "x1/": {
        "type": "bip32", 
        "xprv": "xprv9vXHvauNj5JUWb.....", 
        "xpub": "xpub69WeL6S...."
    }, 
    "x2/": {
        "type": "bip32", 
        "xprv": null, 
        "xpub": "xpub69WeL6SGZ...."
    }, 
    "x3/": {
        "type": "bip32", 
        "xprv": null, 
        "xpub": "xpub661MyMw...."
    }
}

4. now you see your private keys. copy the following:
from "x1/" copy "xprv" (for example copy the xprv9vXHvauNj5JUWb.....)
from "x2/" copy "xprv"
from "x3/" copy "xpub"

5. go to your electron cash wallet and do the following:
* from menu New > Restore
* choose "Multisignature wallet"
* choose "from 3 cosigners" and "require 2 signature"
* choose "Use public or private key"
* enter first xprv.... here
* next
* choose "enter cosigner key"
* enter second xpriv... here
* choose "enter cosigner key"
* enter final xpub... here
* [optional] give password to wallet

now you have all your keys without need of the TrustedCoin signature...

6. select one of electroncash.casharia... or electrum.abc servers

7. spend funds in electron cash and have fun.

Hello everyone. I have a problem claiming my Bitcoin cash from the private keys.

I had a BTC balance on Electrum wallet 2.8.3 (with 2fa enabled) before and after the swap. Moved my BTC after the swap to a different address for security reasons. Now cannot use my private keys, every wallet (Electron cash, Coinomi, Bitcoin ABC ) says that there is no funds on those keys, but the block explorer confirms that my Bitcoin Cash is there: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/address/36XmauGXBMEMjMNbRXxmCWy1X8g9SLEwFC. What am I doing wrong? Anyone has an idea?
Tried importing the private keys and opening the wallet file in Electron Cash. If opened in Electron Cash, my BCH balance is showed correctly, but I cannot
send any coins cuz of the error: "The transaction was rejected by network rules (16:...)". This is due to Electron Cash not being able to work with 2fa properly as far as I know.

P.S. Problem is SOLVED as I returned home and found my 12-word seed
