PocketBook InkPad 1 (840) bricked - clean image needed

Bloodmoon · 06-03-2026, 07:47 AM

Hello, my PocketBook InkPad 1 (840) is bricked. My internal SD card has failed with CRC errors. Can someone please share a link to a clean, patched No-CID backup image (.img) for the InkPad 1?
Or, is someone here who could patch it with my serial number?

Thanks for reply

It's hard to keep track of all the various InkPad versions. Is this the first one that was released almost ten years ago, or a more recent one? If the first one, which firmware version were you using on it?

Hello, thanks for answer.

Yes, it is the first one, I bought it 2016. I didn't open it for quite some years, and now this surprise...

My problem is, I'm stuck on logo screen no matter what I do. That's why I can't even run anything on my pocketbook (for extracting CID for example). And when I tried to make an img. image from internal card, all I've got was some error.

Is it possible to know which firmware it was just from some of the files on the card? Otherwise I don't know how to find out which firmware is there.

I have a firmware version 4.4 and a 5.15 image. I guess you probably don't want the older 4.4 image even if that is what you had, so my question was probably pointless. I'll try to contact you via PM, although we may have to ask some moderator to enable that for you (I think you need at least 10 posts before PMs are automatically allowed).
