Device: PocketBook 611
PocketBook 611 internal SD card image, help to recover

Hello guys,

I would be very pleased if somebody could send me an internal SD card image for PocketBook 611.


I got an old PocketBook 611 from electric trash, but without internal SD card, it looks like it is fully functional (does not have big scratches), I just had to replace a battery (because its battery was about 3 cm thick )


I have followed this guide (translated over google translator).
I'm able to boot a firmware update dialog (central button + forward button), put SWUPDATE.BIN onto 4-th fat32 partition. Device reports that firmware update was successful and device will now restart. After restart it:
- left side of the main button lights on
- both sides of the main button lights on
- screen flash for a half a second
- screen is empty

When I power a device to power supply (or PC), it is showing a battery charging dialog and both sides of main button are blinking.
When connected to PC, it is not able to identify a USB device

/dev/sdb is an internal device SD card:

My partitions
Code:
Device     Boot   Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1         32768 1081343 1048576  512M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2       1081344 2129919 1048576  512M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb3       2129920 3178495 1048576  512M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb4       3178496 4227071 1048576  512M 83 Linux
Created filesystems
Code:
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb2
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb3
mkdosfs -F 32 -I /dev/sdb4
copied firmware file(SWUPDATE.BIN) to /dev/sdb4

Boot up a firmware update dialog and installed firmware SUCCESFULLY.

But after restart of device, it is showing just empty screen (as mentioned earlier).

When I check partitions after installation I found they are shrink to minimal size, sdb1 has free about 1MB and sdb2 has free 0 bytes !!!

I found on 0x200 there is something like:
SN-E6063222M06597 8_1111101246 which can be device serial number + something.

Is it kind of hash of SD card id and device id.

I have tried multiple firmware versions, firmware sw_20130205_611_EURO_us_br_16.0_611_239_user.zip was able to identify serial ID of a device other firmwares reported device id as 00000000000000000 (with a message, cannot read a device id)

There is something about serial ids, it is for a different type of device, it generated 4 bytes long file .freezestatus

I do not have a serial cable to connect a device using UART to PC to have an access to boot log.

Could you please help me with that?
Thank you,
Lukas
