Hi Mee, the flash is from Samsung and is a standard 4 or 8 GB. It may be possible to clone the flash to un-brick a damaged phone, however, I have not looked at its contents and am not sure.

I think that it is possible that the iPhone might be able to use the first 8GB of the 16GB flash chip, although, I doubt it would do anything useful. Even if the OS is mostly the same, there may be some minute difference that would not allow it to load properly.

do you think the 16GB memory from the ipod touch could be pin-compatible with an 8GB iphone? do you think they could be transplanted?

Thanks John. I have had some limited success trying to disassemble the PCBs layer by layer and will try to post something soon if I can salvage any useful images. I have also mounted the flash chip in a TSSOP adapter PCB in the hope of reading it. The method described at uCHobby that involves wiring the flash chip to a SD card reader has failed so I am contemplating writing some LabView code to read the chip using a digital I/O board. I am also getting ready to go for a two week vacation so I am pretty busy with academic work. Hopefully I will have more news soon, but I don’t think it will happen until the end of August.
