So you’ve accidentally skipped the Ronin Bridge and attempted to send tokens directly to your Ronin wallet, but now your tokens are stuck in an Ethereum wallet with the exact address as your Ronin wallet. Here’s how to get access to that wallet and reclaim your tokens.
Recovery Steps for Software Wallet
Step 1: Download the MetaMask browser wallet extension. If you already have the extension installed, use a browser that does not already have the extension. You'll want to work with a newly installed version so as to not clear any data you already have stored.
Step 2: Open the extension and click "Get Started".
Step 3: Click "Import wallet" and enter the secret recovery phrase belonging to your Ronin wallet. Create a password and click "Import". If you do not have your secret recovery phrase on hand, you can unlock your Ronin wallet to quickly grab it from the settings menu within the Ronin wallet extension.
You should now have access to the wallet that you sent your funds to. If you are unable to see your tokens, click "import tokens" from within the MetaMask extension and add your desired token.

Recovery Steps for Hardware Wallet
If you are importing a hardware wallet and already have MetaMask installed, you can use the extension you already have; there's no need to create a new wallet in a different browser.
Step 1: Unlock your MetaMask wallet extension and click the profile icon.
Step 2: Click "Connect hardware wallet". Ensure that your hardware wallet and accompanying software are connected and ready to go.
Step 3: Select your hardware wallet type and click "Continue".
Step 4: You should now have access to the wallet that you sent your tokens to. If you are unable to see your tokens, click "import tokens" from within the Metamask extension and add your desired token.
Now that you've gotten your tokens back, use the Ronin Bridge to correctly deposit your funds into your Ronin wallet.
