🖥 How to restore Monero private keys from Ledger Nano S wallet or Coinomi

**Monero** is a very different cryptocurrency, their privacy-first approch and the fact to be a non Bitcoin clone or compatible, make it harder to integrate it in the current cryptocurrency wallet ecosystem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO_4bc6ay2w

At the beginning Monero just had Monero specific wallets, but now Ledger hardware wallet and Coinomi are some viable options, unfortunatly if you genenerated a BIP39 wallet and you want to switch to a Monero-specific wallet you can't change it easly, because th seeds have different format.

## Why this tutorial?

Here some real world use cases:

1. Let's say you lost the Ledger Nano S and you want to restore the seed backup to the official Monero GUI wallet
2. or you generated a Monero wallet with **Coinomi** and You want to migrate to **Monerujo**.
3. Any BIP39 wallet 24 words seed to Monero style 25 words wallet

BIP 39 Wallet 24 words to Monero/Electrum 25 words
from Ledger Nano S or Coinomi to Monero GUI, Monerujo, MyMonero.

## Step 1: Build your Docker image with the seed converter tool by Ledger

You can [download the Ledger tool](https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-app-monero/tree/master/tools/python) how you prefere. My advice is to use it with docker to keep your environment clean and the tool easly portable.

Cut and paste the text below it a file named `Dockerfile`.
```
FROM debian:9

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev python3 python3-pip -qq -y
RUN pip3 install pycryptodomex && pip3 install ECPy && pip3 install ledgerblue
WORKDIR /app/tools/python
```

Then build the Docker image.

```
docker build -t my/ledger-monero .
```

## Step 2: run the command

Congratulation! Now the set up is done and you can run the tool with the command below every time you need it. Just follow the interactive instruction

```
# docker run --rm -ti -v $PWD/ledger-app-monero:/app my/ledger-monero sh -c "PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/src python3 -m ledger.monero.seedconv offline
```

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPTT24Vkxq1KrVskyuZFiyrj6zjJnFptApiGxy3s4pRSZ/image.png)

Just type the 24 words seed to have a 25 words seed!

NOTE: currently you have to comment line `82` in the file `ledger-app-monero/tools/python/src/ledger/monero/seedconv.py` as shown in the video, but in future it could be fixed.

@luigi-tecnologo I am unable to run the commands like you laid out in this post. I really need help recovering my 25 word seed from my 24 word seed. Do you think you can help me please? I would be ok with you keeping some of the XMR for yourself and you could just send me some of it back (: I really hope you can help, Ledger team told me to reach out to the XMR community and they were of no help...
