Samourai Wallet Recovery — Frequently Asked Questions
Which files do you actually need?
Ideally the encrypted backup exported from Samourai. If unavailable, send the Android app data from a full device backup (the Samourai app container) and any storage folders created by the wallet.
Do you need my seed phrase?
No. We only need encrypted backups/app data and your hints. Never share your seed words.
I used a BIP39 passphrase (25th word). Can you help?
We can assess candidate passphrases offline using your hints and known addresses/xpubs to confirm when a candidate is correct. Hint quality is crucial.
Is recovery guaranteed?
No. Success depends on password/passphrase complexity, hint quality, and the presence of usable backups or app data. We start with a free offline assessment and then advise realistic next steps.

What We Need
- Preferred: the Samourai encrypted backup file exported from the app.
- Or the Android app data folder from a device backup (see paths below).
- Password/PIN hints (see guide below). If you used a BIP39 passphrase (25th word), include hints for that too.
- (Optional) Known addresses/xpubs to verify candidates faster.
We do not need your seed words for assessment. Never share them.
Where to Find Samourai Data
- Encrypted backup export: In-app “Backup” typically saves a file to device storage (e.g.,
/storage/emulated/0/
or a chosen folder). Send that backup file. - Android app data (advanced):
/data/data/com.samourai.wallet/
(root/forensic backup required). If you have a full device backup, include the entire Samourai container. - Media/storage folders: If Samourai created a folder under internal storage (e.g.,
Samourai/
), include it as well.
If unsure, send the whole device-backup container; we’ll locate the right files.
