Unlock your old MEW/Parity Wallet with your Parity Phrase

After using the instructions from https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/bd5dys/restore_parity_wallet_from_mnemonic_option_not/ and Downloading https://github.com/MyEtherWallet/etherwallet/releases/tag/v3.9.0 paritywallet. I opened the index.html file with VS Code as a live server as well as locally; it would allow me to Decrypt the wallet successfully with the parity phrase but, would not load eth balance in Wallet or Connect the Any eth networks
So this is what I did to fix it:
-
Downloaded fether wallet https://github.com/openethereum/fether/releases
-
Used parity phrase to decrypt and load the account – will not sync to mainnet but that’s ok.
-
Click top right and “Backup Account”
-
This will Export the accounts original JSON file
-
Enter a password.
-
Save the json File
-
Open metamask
-
Import an account using a JSON File
-
Enter Password just created
-
Boom your money!
