The Cellebrite UFED PA with Blackberry chip-off decoding will be released in few weeks and is now in final stages.
We are getting great results from some of our beta testers.
If you have a BB chipoff (BB OS 5 and above) and would like to test the decoding capabilities, please PM me.

What will you find that's beneficial versus doing the usual dump???
To start UFED will decode deleted SMS, MMS, emails, call logs, contacts, calendar, installed applications, cookies, Bluetooth history …..
UFED PA also supports BBM (including deleted) reconstruction
Release in 2 weeks.

With some Blackberry phones, the JTAG process may get you the physical acquisition you are looking for, still testing and validating the process but here is a preview

gurpreetthathy,
Not sure if you noticed (to answer your original question), but now I can say that Cellebrite UFED PA can perform a Blackberry (for BB devices that are not password locked) physical extraction and decode a Blackberry physical image.
This is a unique solution from Cellebrite after about 9 month of research

Chipoff info on Blackberry, where we are at with our R&D
http//copgeek018.wordpress.com/
We (FTS) have been performing chip removal work on Blackberry devices for around 2 years now.
We also encountered the problem highlighted with the Blackberry 9800 in this post copgeek018.wordpress.com/ around 6 months ago, but have since overcome it.
Our decoding is in-house developed & does not rely on the Cellebrite solution. It has the capability to overcome the compression described.
We can also offer a removal & reading only service (we supply you with the binary) should you wish to use Cellebrite PA
Our chip removal process is accredited to ISO 17025
PM me if you have any questions or would like a quote

Hi john
Hope you doing well. I apologize if my posting was taking away from you work on the Chipoff process, I totally recognize that you have perfected the process for a couple years and it has been appreciated.
Chipoff has been at the Federal level in a few countries for the past 5 or 6 years but the problem was they would not share their expertise with the "City Police" agencies. They were kind enough to provide a service to us, like your company, but it involved long waits and money. Back then, the equipment was not affordable as well, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Our work was focussed on bringing the process to the "City Police" level where the training and equipment has to be cost effective for us to do the work. With the way technology and research has evolved in the past couple years, the equipment and software is now affordable for us "City" folks. That is what we are bringing to the plate, making it affordable and available to everyone.
Each Blackberry, Android, iPhone and flip phone we encounter has challenges, there is no longer need for expensive equipment and techniques to overcome these, we address each one with the tools we have and have been successful to date.
We do rely on the Cellebrite kit for our decoding, they have done a lot of work on the RAW data dumps from both the JTAG and Chipoff process. It works, we are in the middle of testing and validating their software. I will be updating the Blog today showing how their tool decoded all the same information that was found in the test IPD file. They have also overcome the compression wall and recovered all the SMS. Again, I am not taking away from your in-house tool, I appreciate that you have a tool and it works well from what I hear. We already paid for the Cellebrite P.A. kit and they have added this feature for free, sorry John, can't turn that down (-
New update on the Blog……

Has there any developments in this area? For a locked Blackberry, is the only solution still Chip-Off? Is there no JTAG solution?
