Re: Dumping flash from HTC Desire 510
Do you know version of Android it's running? Anything over 4.0, I believe the flash can be encrypted. I read on the post that the flash encryption key is the pin code, but I doubt that very much. Especially after looking at that FROST program. They have a pin code brute force program, which I wanted to try, but I need to install a custom recovery partition in order to use it, which I don't think I can do without the pin. Also, there's something called S-On, which I believe prevents things like a custom recovery from being installed permanently. As soon as the phone is rebooted, it goes back to the original. Same with rooting it. For this phone though, in order to turn S-OFF, I believe I need to log into the phone and enable USB developer mode.
Anyways, if you can remove the flash chip yourself, you don't really need that adapter. I can show you how to make a custom adapter using a MicroSD to SD adapter and a USB cable. You just cut the ends off the USB cable and solder some wires onto the MicroSD to SD adapter and then solder some wires directly to the NAND. It's crude, but it works. That's why I was looking for the eMMC pinouts on the phone. I was going to solder them directly to the board, instead of the chip.
