Is data recovery from these units possible?
It looks like the storage may be the Samsung chip that was hidden under the lower shield?

Yes, that's the one. It's an eMMC chip.

Here's the datasheet for it: http://www.datasheetspdf.com/datasheet/ ... ?id=810339

Do you have a way to read a BGA169 eMMC?

I do not have a reader for this but I do have the PC3K flash.
I would imagine there is encryption somewhere in the dump. Data Medics, have you ever recovered a surface?

Looks like a rabbit hole

Thanks for the datasheet, I think that link is missing the /1 at the end.
Looks like this is the link to the pdf:

Actually, you don't need PC-3000 Flash or any other flash recovery tool to read eMMC. If the chip is alive, you can use any of eMMC reader - there are a hundreds of Chinese versions that will help you to read this eMMC like a common SD card:

There’s no on chip encryption?

If your eMMC still working as monolith (it controller works fine), you will bypass encryption on the fly through internal CPU. Problem of encryption will appear only:

1. IF user use encryption on his device;
2. If internal CPU is damaged and you need to solder eMMC by NAND protocol.

In your case everything should work like a common SD card through card reader

That's good information. Thank you.
