Clone Sd Card Including Serial Number
(tl;dr – skip to bottom for instructions, see also ) The CID register on SD cards is supposed to be read-only, which means it can be used to lock devices to specific SD cards, preventing the user swapping them out, which is very annoying. This can result in you being stuck with a smaller card than you’d like in a device or not being able to use a backup in case of damage. I’ve spent a while trying to work out how to change the ID on some cards. There is surprisingly little info out there about this, when it’s easy for other devices.
If you want to duplicate the supplied SD card to your own (our current batch is also less than 8G), you'll need to find another way of copying the file systems. You have 3 choices. Copy each partition on the plug to another device (ie USB stick or drive), then transfer the contents to your partitioned SD card.
For example, if you want to change the supposedly read-only ID on various kinds of RFID tag you can simply buy a special version from China that allows it (often referred to as gold or magic cards). There are rumours of cheap Chinese SD cards that don’t follow the official spec and allow you to change to them – I now have large pile of cheap Chinese SD cards on my desk, but unfortunately none of them did allow it. The spec includes a command (CMD26) for writing the CID, but it’s only supposed to work once in the factory when the card is first assigned an ID. All the cards I got seemed to honour that restriction.
However, there is probably some way to unlock them If you’ve found this page by looking for help on this topic you’ve probably already seen Bunnie Huang’s SD card hacking presentation, unfortunately I wasn’t able to track down any APPO AX211 based cards, which I thought would be my best bet. In that presentation was mention of vendor commands for a Samsung eMMC used as the built-in storage on an Android phone. I’m not well enough versed on the technology to know quite what the difference between eMMC and SD cards are, aside from the way SD cards are packaged of course – although that might be all there is to it.
Reading around they seem work in the same way and appear the same within Linux. Then I stumbled upon, where Sean Beaupre had managed to unlock a Samsung phone (to developer mode) by reverse engineering some of the eMMC firmware on his device and finding commands that allowed the CID to be unlocked and rewritten. So I started buying Samsung SD cards, hoping for one with the same moviNAND core as the eMMC in their phones. I now also have a stack of Samsung SD cards on my desk, but with the last different one I found I struck gold! (Collecting Samsung cards is more expensive than cheap Chinese ones and it takes some effort to avoid getting fakes.) The Samsung EVO Plus 32GB MicroSDHC card took the commands from SamDunk and let me change the CID. I have taken the SamDunk code and reworked it a little to make it easier to use for SD cards, but all the credit really needs to go to the original author.
To use you simply need a rooted Android device with an SD card slot. Copy the evopluscid binary to the device and put it somewhere with a proper Linux file system (not FAT), then apply execute permission to it. Run the tool and point it to the SD card device e.g. /dev/block/mmcblk1 (you almost certainly do not want to use mmcblk0, that is likely to be the built-in storage on your device). List the /dev/block folder and make sure the device you going to use appears and disappears as you insert and remove the SD card to be sure. Supply the new CID you want to set on the command line. If you only need to change the card serial number (part of the CID) you can supply the old CID and the new serial number and the new CID will be calculated for you.
I suggest you make a note of the old CID first, in case you want to set it back later. This can be found in the file like /sys/class/mmchost/mmc1/mmc1:0001/cid, but the path may vary, and again make sure you are looking at the right card by checking it disappears when you remove the card. You can find the code here: (compiled binary is in the lib folder). Use entirely at your own risk. Use only against genuine Samsung Evo Plus cards, anything else is unlikely to work and could be damaged. Even the right card could potentially be damaged! To set a new completely new CID: # Usage:./evopluscid./evopluscid /dev/block/mmcblk1 744a454e2f412020106c6d77470104c3 Or to just change the serial number part of the current CID: # Usage:./evopluscid./evopluscid /dev/block/mmcblk1 1b5deb0102a1 12345678 Post navigation.
@modimo @Richard Actually that kind of tool already exists using something like a cheap “Blue Pill” STM32 and even it can independently check whether the card supports the back door or not. The fact is that indeed when you have the right cards, that kind of device is by no means indispensable, just as EVOPLUSCID is not even (honestly speaking), simply send the right commands via SPI protocol is the easiest and cleanest way. Even if nowadays Linux can do it without the need for anything else, as Android, Windows nor other kind of OS, that isn’t the better way, IMHO: SPI it is. The device in question isn’t a standalone cid programmer for compatible cards.
It’s an sd card sized device that takes a microsd card for storage and passes everything through, except cid requests which it responds to itself. A neat device and on topic. However the site is just a signup page where you can register your interest in something that isn’t actually available.
As such I deemed the post above to be an advertising post to drive traffic to something the guy is planning to sell. Once it’s available and if it’s demonstrated to be good I might well choose to link to it. Sorry Richard.
I think I haven’t expressed myself quite clearly, my fault. The device I’ve written really exists and among other things is a standalone CID programmer/tester for compatible cards. Being based on an ARM microcontroller, wanting it can be setup in order to spoof CID too.
It is need an optional adapter though, because otherwise there is no way to put it into the host reader where it is need the spoofed CID. Even though I don’t know the device and I haven’t seen it yet, what modimo wrote is in fact an sd card sized device that takes a microsd card for storage and passes everything through, except CID requests which it responds to itself, so that it can spoof the actual CID with a dummy one. Surely, as you wrote, an interesting device which deserve attention, but nothing has to do with the ability to alter or rewrite the CID of the cards, compatible or not because actually there aren’t only Samsung EVO+, also other kind and brands allows for that. Hello Richard, firstly thank you for such detailed description how to proceed with CID change. I am happy I’ve found this place! Now referring to the latest Samsung Evo+ cards, I need to inform potential users that new cards purchased in March 2017 do not allow modification of CID. I have tested 3pcs of 32GB (MB-MC32DA/EU) cards and 2pcs of 64GB (MB-MC64DA/EU).
All of them were bought from the official distributors of Samsung in Poland. Currently I am waiting for delivery of another 32GB card purchased via Aliexpress. I do hope this one will finally work as expected. Maybe some of you have such unnecessary card – I would like to buy it or exchange with ones I have. I am open to any suggestions 🙂 Best regards, Leszek.
Hi, i try to change cid but i have little problem 1. It say ‘s to me ioctl: Connection timed out Unlock command failed. If i repeat command then unlock command failed. Repeat again then Failed to enter vendor mode.

Dear Humble Beers 'Jetmouse keygen is a brilliant tool, just a bit tricky to understand for some folks. Launch the keygen, and type in your 10# (10 digit decimal) SD-Card ID into the 'Unit ID' field. ' Jedtmouse keygen is very easy to understand and use but. Unfortunately again my question has been completely misunderstood! You say to type in the 10 digit SDCard ID. But the SDCard ID discovered by the software and by Microsoft Checkdisk program is 8 digits, not 10. That is why I asked if it is a hex code that one can convert into the 10 digit code needed by programs such as Jetmouse Keygen Also, many hex codes are displayed reversed so that the first five numbers un-hexed into decimal are actually the last five in the 10 digit numbers.
It seems that no-one on this forum can answer that question. Example of SDCard id: e.g. Micro sdCard Partitiion ID:3461-6432 (8-digit number in Hex?) 3461(Hex) = 13409 (Decimal) 6432(Hex) = 25650 (Decimal) So the ID number to plug into Jetmouse is either.

It seems to be very hard to stop the spreading of the 'urban myth' that a disk volume serial number is the same as a memory cards CID ( 128 bit Card identification number: individual card number for identification). I've tried many times to explain that it doesn't work that way. The CID is permanent in the memory cards internal register.
The volume serial number changes when the volume is reformatted. There's also tools to change the Volume ID (volume serial number). If that worked to change the CID then everyone could easily clone a Garmin map from one memory card to another.
No such luck with the volume method though. The tool mentioned for changing the Volume ID. VolumeID v2.0 By Mark Russinovich Published: November 1, 2006 Introduction While WinNT/2K and Windows 9x's built-in Label utility lets you change the labels of disk volumes, it does not provide any means for changing volume ids. This utiltity, VolumeID, allows you to change the ids of FAT and NTFS disks (floppies or hard drives). Usage: volumeid xxxx-xxxx This is a command-line program that you must run from a command-prompt window. Note that changes on NTFS volumes won't be visible until the next reboot.
In addition, you should shut down any applications you have running before changing a volume id. NT may become confused and think that the media (disk) has changed after a FAT volume id has changed and pop up messages indicating that you should reinsert the original disk (!). It may then fail the disk requests of applications using those drives.
If you have a Windows Mobile, Windows PPC or Windows CE unit you can try this tool. Attached CardID.rar that reads correct CID by using Windows CE / PPC / WM: Only registered and activated users can see links. Some of this was covered by the last post, but since I started already, with apologies. Collection of random observations: I don't think that the checkdisk id is what you are looking for. That is a volume id generated by windows when formatting a new medium.
The SD card ID is surrounded by secrecy for obvious reasons. The specification for how to access the code as part of the CID is on the SD card official website, but no help if you aren't an engineer. This ID is harder to find. There are internet links which look like they find the right id but actaully don't seem to work on current OS versions. I found my SD card ID by putting the card into a nuvi 250w and pressing the battery icon for 10 seconds. There are other ways but I'm still working on that.
If you can find the correct SD card ID as 8 hex chars then you simply enter the whole 8 chars into windows calculator and convert to decimal which will produce 10 decimal digits, which would be the number required to decode the card. Splitting the number into two sections and hex-dec converting and then concatanating produces an incorrect result. So, not a lot of help, but just to save you time looking on the wrong track. At the end of the day, it can be done. I have done it.

Dear All I have a GPSMAP78 which I use for Marine navigation. There are many ideas on how to get the SD Card ID, but none of them worked for my GPS, (by the way, it uses same BIOS as GPSMAP62). Unfortunately there is no simple way of retrieving the Card ID by software. Some gadgets like even mobile phones are able to show the Card ID, but if you don’t have the right one you are busted. The only way I could get the SD CARD ID was by installing Garmin MobilePC. Once Mobile PC is installed you can go to Settings-About and it will show you the Card ID of the Card inserted in your PC.
This worked for me, but only for the first ever Card inserted. Subsequently inserted cards all showed the same ID number which was incorrect.
So if you want to try use the card you really want to use. 1.Download Garmin MobilePC 2.Install using MAIN.msi (if using setup.exe it will look for previous version installed and terminate if not found) 3.Start MobilePC with SD Card inserted 4.After starting up it will ask if the purchase included a GPS, click “Yes” 5.Next question is, Connect or power on GPS, click “Done” 6.Now click “OK” and “SKIP” 7.Click “Yes” at the next question (Some aspects will not work and so on) 8.Now click “I AGREE” 9.Go to Settings and then click ABOUT. On top you will see Device ID: 10 digit number, which is the Card ID of the SD Card inserted.
Unfortunately if you change your SD card it will always show the same number, at least in my case. So try with the right card first. At least you will get the ID of one SD Card. 10.Do not install in Trial Mode since it will give you a Software ID, not the Card ID. If you did by mistake, go to C:/User/Username/AppData/Roaming/Garmin/GarminMobilePC and delete the contents of this folder.
Now you can try again Uninstalling and reinstalling MobilePC did not make a difference. I deleted all traces after uninstalling but it always came up with the No. Of the very first SD Card inserted. Maybe someone else knows how to do this. Garmin Mobile PC uses a ' Software Unit ID'.
That ID has absolutely nothing to do with memory cards and their CID. The software unit ID is calculated at installation time for your specific PC installation. Garmin Mobile XT for mobile phones can read the memory card CID register. There's a lot of different SDK with API calls for mobile units and PDAs to read the CID ( 128 bit Card identification number: individual card number for identification). It's also possible to use a API call in Windows to read the CID. That will not work for memory cards mounted in a USB memory card reader. Only memory card readers with PCI, PC Card, Card Bus interface etc.

Will have the possibility to forward the API call and only if the driver supports the API call. CID fields specification for a SD card: SD card specs. Garmin Mobile PC uses a 'Software Unit ID'. That ID has absolutely nothing to do with memory cards and their CID. The software unit ID is calculated at installation time for your specific PC installation. Maybe you are not listening, but you certainly have not explained anything.
How To Clone Sd Cards
If MobilePC with the Garmin GPS Package is installed and Maps are on the GPS it will give you the Device ID of the GPS. Activation will provide an unlock code for the Device ID of the GPS. If MobilePC with the Garmin GPS Package is installed and Maps are on SD Card it will give you the Device ID of the SD Card. Activation will provide an unlock code for the Device ID of the SD Card. If MobilePC Software version only is installed (using non Garmin GPS) it will give you a Software ID. Activation will provide an unlock code for the software.
I am aware that Garmin Mobile XT for mobile phones can read the memory card CID register, and there are also many application that can do so on mobile phones and PDA's, but that is not what I am after, I surely don't buy a phone just to read a number.
