Thank you for sharing, you solved mine, too.
I have a Pocketbook TL3 (Firmware U626 5.14) and suddenly the SD card was read-only (could not keep Wi-Fi password, firmware update failed silently). But now it is all working and even better the firmware update worked, too!
All steps simmer down to (assuming Linux PC):
1. Download serial.app from nhedgehog, extract and place the application folder on your new SD card, plug it in your PB and run @serial as instructed, you'll need device ID (YT12345...) and CID of the new, external(!) SD card (0x12345678).
2. Copy the old SD card to you new SD card ((as root) # dd if=dev/old-sdcard of=/dev/new-sdcard)
3. Download .freezestatus tool, extract, go to ./Linux run "make", switch to created serial folder and run ./serial with your device ID (YT12345...) and CID of the new SD card (0x12345678) as shown in the post of zledas ²
4. (as root)
# mkdir /mnt/9
# mount /dev/<new SD card>9 (mounting the 9th partition)
# cp ./.freezestaus /mnt/<new SD card>9/.freezestatus
5. Insert new SD card into internal SD card reader of PB and restart.
Update to the new firmware (U626-5.20.1157) worked without any problems.

Code:
./serial --serial_number YT4517001251004000Y5 --sd_serial 0x12345678
