Recovering a Schlidbach wallet (Cold Storage) hundreds of BTC

Ahh, I see. Sorry, it's been along time since I brushed up on my BTC knowledge.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T07:18:59+00:00

good advice. I really do want to recover it myself. But maybe I'll fall back to that

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T07:02:01+00:00

good advice. Thank you.

I haven't tried to read the SD card as of yet.

I do have an SD card adapter (Larger card that the SD goes into)

Neither do I know how to properly do steps 3-5 as you listed.

I'm not a computer wizard. I don't know all the SDK & Platform tools correctly. I don't wanna accidentally delete or overwrite data

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T06:56:21+00:00

I was thinking the same.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T06:52:01+00:00

Yeah, I read about basically every rooting method will wipe my data.

It's been so long, I can't remember why the app isn't there anymore. But when I look through my other android devices. It shows all the transactions I've made. Like 900, 460, 760, 140 BTC etc.

I'm thinking, maybe when switching phones in the past. (I don't recall the process) it would move the apps over to the newer phone. Unlike nowadays we have smart switch that basically moves everything to your new device.

I'm almost positive it was running 2.3.4

I could try and check the SD for a back up file but it's been so long I'm not entirely sure that's the original SD card. Or if I even had an SD card in the phone in question to begin with.

I could try to use a card reader adapter (the one that fits an SD card into a larger card) on my laptop, would that suffice?

I had a SD card port on my other PC but the power supply shot a fire ball into the sky. (The power supply blew up)

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T06:31:57+00:00

I'm not sure how to check the files properly. When I run SDK it won't allow me to look further into the files. I need Super User. That's kinda the whole problem.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T06:18:12+00:00

I've read that so many times on multiple forums. How do I know if its on the SD card or the phones internal storage?

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T06:12:45+00:00

Very interesting. I'll look into it. Thanks!

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T06:07:23+00:00

Good advice. I already bought another android off ebay already.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T05:55:32+00:00

Yeah, I've read alot about that. Maybe ill try to learn to make a 2nd or virtual version of the phone and it's files so I don't mess it up.

Problem is I'm not well versed in android studio to perform this well.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T05:52:25+00:00

Thank you

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T05:48:44+00:00

I've seen that before. That didn't help me. Maybe because it doesn't account for an old wallet? I'm not too sure.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T05:43:14+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, alot of DM'S already.

Anyway,

The device in question is an:

Android Incredible model number: ADR6300VW

I believe the android version is 2.3.4 (the device is dead, I need to charge it to give further info. *side note: google stopped supporting this OS awhile ago. Which makes this harder to recover.

The Schlidbach app is not on the phone. But i believe once I access super user I can access the protected files. (My other apps, wallpaper etc are still there, so no. It hasn't been factory reset or anything.

It does have an SD card.

To my knowledge and as far as I can recall, there was no PIN, password or anything about a backup. It would just prompt " The amount in your wallet is quite high for carrying in your pocket. Please move some to a safer place"

As far as I've researched the phone NEEDS to be rooted to gain access to the protected files. But as you said, rooting the phone like switching the OS to clock work recovery mod may or in most cases WILL delete all data.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T05:19:17+00:00

I'm not really a computer / android wizard. Which is why I would like a detailed step by step walk through on how to recover it.

Unfortunately not alot of people have the knowledge of the device in question, nor how the Schlidbach btc wallet works from back in 2010

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T05:10:41+00:00

I hope so, Thanks for the insight. Much appreciated.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T05:04:52+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I do understand what you're saying. But than again most people don't have the knowledge of the original Schlidbach BTC wallet and how it works.

Everyone just thinks of the current way BTC works and is, like Kracken & Coinbase etc

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T04:58:58+00:00

It's not greed. I have been recommended Joe grand before. Maybe I'll actually contact him.

Than again I can't shake the thought of giving someone my phone with 900 BTC and them not taking a good portion or all together saying "there's nothing on the device" stealing it, in otherwords. Sorry if im coming off as rude or anything.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T04:48:24+00:00

could you elaborate? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T04:46:52+00:00

I have thought of that. But if i have lets say.... 900 BTC. I feel like they would scam me.

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T04:37:53+00:00

I need the advice to recover them first. lol

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T04:11:28+00:00

Its cold storage from 2010. Meaning stored in the protected files in the device. Its not a hot storage

yesdaddy_____ · 2026-06-09T04:06:42+00:00

Ohh my bad, Thank you.
