Hello everybody,

update: I managed to get my pocketbook 626 Touch Lux 3 Plus working again as well.

I got the Image from post #138 from neil_swann80, thank you!!
and followed his guide:

1) Write the Image to a new SD Card with his USB Image Tool
2) Generated the .freezestatus file with progs.7z as explained by zledas and loki12345 in post #107

./serial --serial_number YT4507001261002000Y5 --sd_serial 0x12345678

I had to use the serial_number from the image provided by neil_swann80. I found it in the info.txt file. The serial_number of my pocketbook did not work.
I got the sd_serial of my new sd card as follows:
connected the sd card to my linux pc (in my case ubuntu)
called the command: sudo udevadm info -a -n /dev/mmcblk0
Found the sd_serial in ATTRS{serial}=="0x12345678" from the ATTRS{type}=="SD".
This only worked with the sd-card slot of my laptop. With an usb sd-card reader it dit not worked in my case.

3) copied the .freezestatus file to partiion 9 of the sd card:
sudo mkdir /mnt/9
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p9 /mnt/9
sudo cp ./.freezestatus /mnt/9/.freezestatus
sudo umount /mnt/9

4) put the sd-card in the internal slot of pocket book, start it and test if its working.
5) resize the partition as explained in one of the following posts #89 or #137. I used the procedure explained in #89.
6) put the sd-card in the internal slot of pocket book, start it and test if its working.
7) downloaded the new software update via wifi
9) done. Everything is working again.

At the beginning I had some problems to get the internal sd card out of the socket. I just had to push the sd card with my finger on top of it forward in the socket and then the back part of the sd card fliped upward (didn't know that kind of mechanism).

All of this is explained here in the thread, but it took me some time to get everything together. So I tried to explain it again just in case for somebody else.

Thanks to all of you in this thread for your work!!! You can't imagine how happy I am now :-).
