I recently had problems with my phone and lost all my apps, and I tried to reset my blixt wallet but once it was restored, neither the sats nor the lightning channel appeared, nor a channel closure notice as I have seen in @lunaticoin's tutorial... I have my secret words and the channel backup file, which was created when I created that channel, any outside opinions?
What I can be doing wrong? Or any recommendation to recover my channel or my sats on it?
Thanks for reading stacker friends.
May lightning be with you ⚡🍊

check the status in the background, is it fully synced? ( setting - show node data )
I tried to restore it in other phone before, it was the same situation, nothing showed up, not even the past transactions, but later I used Sparrow to restore the funds! my suggestion is you might better wait a bit until the channels are all closed and the funds are back to onchain, then input the seeds into Sparrow!

Thank you, keep trying, and as a last resort I will do the recovery via sparrow as they have mentioned to me, thanks for the information!

Keep in mind that if the channels are not yet closed and the grace period over, you will not be able to recover ANY funds using Sparrow.
Blixt (LND node) need to do the sweep of funds after the grace period of 144 blocks (after the 1st confirmation), into your onchain wallet. Until then you will NOT be able to see anything.
It is very important to keep your Blixt open (persistent mode) during this process.
What you can do optional is to try recovering in Zeus with the same seed + SCB file. Both Zeus and Blixt are fully compatible for recovery.
But I suggest first to check your closing channels status.

Ok, I'll wait in persistent mode until you confirm that there is a channel closure, thank you for your time and advice! I take this opportunity to thank you for your work on the guides, they have been very useful to me, I still have some to read. Each guide is a new rabbit hole that takes me to other rabbit holes, their work is simply fascinating and being able to enjoy it. 🙏🙂 Thank you

It's weird because it should work with if you have both, channel backup and secret words.
I suggest you to join Blixt telegram group https://t.me/blixtwallet
G'luck!

Not sure if he will get a proper attention in that telegram group... the shitcoiner Furkan is spamming 24/7 and you cannot attend properly any user asking for help...

- I wrote extensive documentation on Blixt FAQ and Guides page explaining how to restore.
- I wrote a special guide step by step about Blixt, also explaining how to make backup and restore. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/getting-started-with-blixt-mobile
- You should never uninstall mobile nodes wallets with active channels.
- Recovering procedure will involve closing channels and patience.
Please explain more what you did and what is the status.

It was not a conscious closure, my phone was fine, and from one day to the next when I woke up it was factory formatted, it happened while I was sleeping... How did it happen? I have no idea!! ... Then I start to recover my apps, including blitx, I have the channel slip, which I saved when the channel was created for the first time, and my secret words... I carried out the process as per @DarthCoin's guide and tutorial @lunaticoin, put the seed plus the channel stub file. And wait for it to synchronize...

It doesn't tell me that there is a shutdown in progress, nor does it show me the channel I had open.

Ouch that hurts!
That is OK to show 0 channels/ balance in LN.
Please read again my guides, I specified exactly that after closing the channels, the balance is displayed in the "Onchain section" and NOT in the LN section.
In the Onchain section, you will see some tx logs and see also the txID in the mempool. See if those txs are really confirmed. Being a force closure it might be broadcast with low fee, so you will have to wait until are confirmed!
Optional, go to settings and in the debug section, you have the "LND logs". You can export them into a txt file and read what is going on. Could be also that your Blixt is still scanning for old UTXOs, so is better to leave it in persistent mode until it finish (see in options to activate "persistent mode" - that will keep the LND service active, even if you close the app or shut the screen off).
