I resolved this issue by recovering the data from the phone. The backup never ended up working. I guess I'll leave this thread out here because this may be an issue with the wallet software...

Do you know what version of BB Bitcoin Wallet your phone was running? In the app you can find it in "options", then "about"

The dev said there was a bug in version 3.54 related to restoring backups.

I just uploaded version 3.60 into BlackBerry world. I suspect version 3.54 had a problem restoring from old backups when going the "tap attachment" route. I'm not sure how long the review process will take -- I'll let you know once its through.

We're going to need a bigger heatsink.

Heya folks. I have some magic internet money that I stored in the bitcoin wallet for Blackberry 10. This is the same wallet as the android one, although the versioning seems to work differently.

I made a backup in October of my wallet, and recently my phone went kablooie. However, I am unable to recover the bitcoins from my backup file. When I put the backup file in the Download folder in an android phone (I ensured this was the correct folder), the android app did not see the backup. Same with a blackberry phone running the latest bitcoin wallet.

Manual decryption is giving me no dice either. When I run the following command:
Code:
openssl enc -d -p -aes-256-cbc -a -in -bitcoin-wallet-backup-2016-10-24 -pass:MYPASSWORDHERE > bitcoin-wallet-decrypted-backup
I get the following output:
Code:
error reading input file

Perhaps the backup file is corrupted? The size is 33,697 bytes. Any help would be greatly appreciated, folks!
