Anyway to pull firmware from an iPhone

[Brooklyn8]

I've got a thread in the iphone troubleshooting forums(https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=6862982#post6862982) about having a prototype iphone with beta software on it. Is there a way to pull the firmware off the phone so we could have a hard copy of it?

Sure: pop the NAND off the board, find some way of hooking up the pins to a controller that can read it, and dump away.

That said, it'll likely be a bit of a bitch to do. Not sure if there's a way to dump via JTAG -- that'd be something to ask geohot and the other HW folks about. (I'm more a software person myself...)
