I very much doubt it's in the flash. I'd bet it's on the CPU chip - after all, the RAM is already there - and difficult to extract. If so, the ability to clone the flash gains you nothing - without a CPU chip with the right unique ID, you can't decrypt the flash contents - even if you know the passcode.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Yes, if you can run some of your own code on the CPU, you might be able to get it to give you the unique ID. But that leaves you with the original problem: How to get your own code to run on the phone without unlocking it first.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> -- Jerry</div><div class=""> </div></body></html>
