Electrum – Wallet Decryption – Bitcoin Stack Exchange

I am seeking help in understanding the technical aspects of how the Electrum wallet handles parsing errors and potential solutions to resolve them. A friend of mine was facing a recurring issue where his Electrum wallet was failing to parse the wallet file during the opening process. I’ve had this problem before and the wallet eventually worked again, but now it’s consistently unresponsive. We have access to the wallet’s password, but not the seed phrase.

Could you please provide some insight or advice on the underlying mechanism causing parsing errors in Electrum wallets and potential cryptographic approaches to resolve this issue?
