I was taught that if I was holding my keys on a Trezor /Jade /Cold Card /etc and that if the company went under and didn’t exist anymore and if I lost my device or it broke or w/e I would still be able to recover my ₿ on another wallett as long as I had my private keys . So if Trezor ( I plan on getting a ₿ only device very very soon ) was to go out of business and I wasn't able to get a new Trezor how would I go about recovering my funds ? I have a 4 digit pin set up on my trezor as well . I have already made the mistake of putting my private keys on Blu on my mobile yesterday when my trezor broke and will be moving the vaste majority of those funds to a new wallett as soon as my new Trezor is here tomorrow.

You will be moving the funds to a new wallet with new keys so that’s not such a big deal. You can recover on other wallets for sure, but it’s best to use the signing devices if you can. I understand, you are just wanting to make sure funds are safu.

When I put my private keys in Blu yesterday it said wallet not found . Any idea why ? Something to do with BIP or 2FA pin ?

They were my trezor private keys that I put into blu

I think it has to do with derivation path. If I remember correctly sparrow wallet lets you customize your derivation path to recover any wallet. There are others with much better knowledge about this subject than me.

It’s basically a difference in setups between wallets that prevents plug and play recovery.

It should be seamless on trezor though. Then move to foundation or coldcard for a better experience.

This is correct. You can only recover using the same derivation path that the wallet was created with. Here's a helpful site that shows the path used for different wallets:
