Extracting CID with Micro SD CID Reader with Sony Z2

You can extract the CID with Micro SD CID Reader.apk, even if the card is shown as corrupt, the CID appears.
Apps posted in this forum which run on my Pocketbook 840 don't show the actual CID (a short number appears instead, but the app Micro SD CID Reader under Android 6 does this.
I'll use this and the Evoplus CID tool to revive my ebook

You can get it here https://android-examples.bi3.biz/con...droid-devices/

The CID reader app and the EVOplus app are in the zip below.

Tutorial
-------

What You need:
Samsung EVO Plus Micro SD card (mine was a 64GB, 32GB seems to be working too)
Rooted Android Device
Compiled evoplus_cid (see above website)
CID of the internal MicroSD (Micro SD CID Reader.apk)

Steps:
0) Get Your microSD out of the Pocketbook by gently pressing on the smaller part of the microSD and pushing the whole card in the direction of the smaller side. Get your CID of the Pocketbook microSD via Micro SD CID Reader.apk. Install the apk on your android device and insert the Pocketbook SD card. Start the app. Output should look like:
------------------------------------------
MMC2:
Name:Ncard
Manufacturing Date: 07/2014
CID: E21087D5A3C212B452324541454100
Firmware version: 0 (0x0)
Serial number: 2344577821 (0x2349da01)
Hardware Version: 1(0x1)
CSD: 400e00145b42100001d9f2f900a200000
Type: SD
OEM ID: 19028 (0x4a54)
Manufacturer ID: 130 (0x000082)
--------------------


1) Connect Your rooted Android device via ADB.
Copy evoplus_cid on the rooted Android device into /data/local via adb
2) Give evoplus_cid executable and root privileges:
chmod chmod 0777 /data/local/evoplus_cid
3) Make sure you know which device your sd card is (mmcblk0/mmcblk1)
4) Run evoplus_cid :
/data/local/evoplus_cid /dev/block/mmcblk1 414541453252b412c2a3d58710e2 (keep in mind to reverse order the CID pairs and skip the last zeros), check with ReadCID.exe if the CID now matches the one from Your PB626.
5) Copy the content of Your PB626 internal microSD via USB Image Tool/DD/Roadkills DiskImg or whatever program is able to do a 1:1 copy.

Have fun with Your device again and keep a copy of the microSD image somewhere safe and thank Richard Burton & Sean Beaupre for their efforts & tutorials to change the CID.

The mentioned CID and Product Serial Number are imagined. Mine are different.
This was just a proof of concept to be on the safe side if something happens to my internal microSD. I didn't check if I could resize the partitions on the microSD. That will be the next step.
Thanks to you ALL!
