      I am sure it is in one of the following derivation paths:

      M/44H/60H/0H/0 M/44H/60H/0H M/44’/60’/0’/0/0

      I read somewhere that likes of MetaMask and Trust Wallet only use specific derivation paths (looks like MEW also now does this).

      Did some digging and I can see Coinomi Wallet seems to be able to support importing wallet phrases with a custom derivation path. See here.

      Important:

      • Use the mobile app with a clean phone.

      • Jot down the public key of the address containing the balances (the one you can see via Etherscan).

      • Go offline on the phone with Coinomi installed. Follow the guide in the article above.

      What you will be aiming for is to end up with the same public address. You may not see the balance in the wallet because you are doing all these “trial and error” offline. It might be a good idea to have another wallet ready before all these (one that you are confident that you can access and restore later on). You can go online on that phone with the wallet app once you are ready to make the transfer to the new wallet you prepared earlier. Good luck.
