Moving out locked `AVAIL` tokens from a Polkadot ledger account

What’s the problem?

The Avail ledger app derives a different set of addresses as compared to the Polkadot ledger app for the same seed phrase.
This means while the addresses derived on the Polkadot ledger app will work on Avail, the Polkadot ledger app will not allow users to sign transactions on the Avail network.
To solve this problem we have created the Avail recovery app for ledger devices.
This new app will derive the same set of addresses as the Polkadot-ledger app and allows users to sign transactions on the Avail network, thus giving users access to these funds.

LOOKING FOR INSTRUCTIONS WITH DIFFERENT WALLETS?

The following set of instructions are written using subwallet.
But you can use any other wallet that supports ledger devices just as well.
We also have a guide for setting up a ledger account with Talisman in our docs here

NOTE:
The Avail recovery app is available on the ledger live app only in the Developer mode.

Go to My Ledger section, and find the settings ⚙️ icon on the top right section.
Head to Experimental Features and switch on Developer Mode.
Move back to My Ledger, and search Avail Recovery in the search bar.

NOT ABLE TO SELECT YOUR ACCOUNTS?

It is important to remember that the Avail recovery app will derive the same set of addresses as the Polkadot ledger app to give you access to your funds.
This means if your wallet already has that same ledger address connected via the polkadot ledger app, you will not be able to import it once again via the avail recovery app.
To get around this, you can temporarily delete the polkadot ledger address from your wallet and then re-add it via the avail recovery app.
This does not remove the address from your ledger device, just disconnects it from your wallet.
Now you should be able to import the same address via the avail recovery app.
