Recover channels not working?

Hi there, where is problem.

I use channels.backup file.

Hi @Elipso has there been any change now? Upon a successfull automated recovery all channels should close and all funds return back onchain, let me know if any channels are still suck closing and we can go from there.

You can check with the pending channels command:
~/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning exec lnd lncli pendingchannels

The status of any channels and we can then force close any stuck with this command:
~/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning exec lnd lncli closechannel --force <channel point>

This is a helpful guide on how that looks: https://www.massmux.com/how-to-resolve-waiting-close-status-lightning-channel/

Steps on “How to SSH” are also here: Official Umbrel Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ

And referenced under “Accessing lncli” there, all lightning command line interface will beging like this:
~/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning exec lnd lncli <command>

Hi @usernameisJim no change. still stuck.

Here is output from command:

Version is LND 0.16.2-beta

Hey @Elipso do you have Telegram? You can @ me in our group chat (@usernameisJim) https://t.me/getumbrel or message me directly https://t.me/usernameisJim or we can do Discord or Twitter DMs if you’d like too… this may take some back and forth to determine the status of the channels and the best next step in a timely manner.
