Firmware extraction from eMMC
Method 1: eMMC tapping
- Identify a pinout for an embedded Multi Media Card (eMMC) flash chip (embedded SD card)
- Dump the contents of the chip without removing it from the PCB
- Similar to in situ reading (dumping firmware from running device)
Method 2: eMMC unsoldering
- Identify a pinout for an embedded Multi Media Card (eMMC) flash chip (embedded SD card)
- Unsolder (remove) eMMC from the PCB
- Plug-in eMMC to an adapter
- Dump the contents of the chip after
NOTE: These two methods are also applicable to SPI Flash
