Yoroi - Upgrading Wallet from Byron to Shelley

English Community Technical Support
#1

Heya Everybody!

Apologies as this is probably a newbie mistake.

I am attempting to re-create a wallet upgrading from Byron to Shelly in the process.

I’m using the Yoroi on my iPhone.

The process I have gone through is:

1a. Add Wallet
1b. Select SHELLEY-ERA

2a. Restore Wallet
2b. Select 15-Word Wallet
2c. Input Seed Phrase
2d. Create Transaction Password

3a. Visit Wallet
3b. Refresh the Wallet / Balance Remains Zero

My seed phrases are 100% and I can see my full balance in the depreciated Byron Wallet.

Any ideas?

Hey @L3164 and welcome to our community!

You probably still have a Byron wallet which you have to claim.

Go to your Shelley wallet → Claim/transfer option → restore your Byron wallet

I hope that helps you out.

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome.

I’ve just had a look and can’t see a claim/transfer option?

The settings available are quite simple …

  • wallet settings (switch wallet, logout, change name, change spending password, easy transaction confirmation and remove wallet) with a small about section.

  • application settings (language, security, crashing reporting, terms of use, support) with a small about section.

Do you think this could be due to the iPhone wallet / app having reduced options?

Ps.

I also literally just created the wallet, saw zero balance and posted here … do I perhaps need to wait for things to sync up?

Imo i dont really know the Yoroi Mobile app so id try to make that process via the browser extension.

If you still have problems you may want to contact the IOHK Support

Got it.

I don’t think there’s a solve in the mobile app - so, I’ll try and set up the browser extension shortly and will let you know how I go. Thanks for your help!

Confirming you were 100% correct.

There was an unclaimed wallet (I don’t know why it needs to be claimed) - but, I was easily able to “claim it” using my seed phrases and the browser extension.

Once claimed the balance was transferred from my Byron wallet and then reflected in the both the browser and the wallet I had created in the mobile app.

There was a small fee for the transaction.

All pretty easy.

Thanks for your guidance.
