Chosen Solution
I’m curious to know what will happen, if I only replace the NAND flash chip with another chip from another iPhone. Will it work? Or will it crash, not boot or what?
Probably go into DFU mode and show some sort of error during restore. (4013, 4014, 9, 40, etc.) If you want to upgrade the NAND, you would need a new chip and a NAND programmer.
