It's being done in China with their own hardware and recently IPBox 2 allows you to do the same, just cheaper. No idea if it can be used for locked phones to crack passwords as for such repairs or upgrades you simply don't care about user data. It might be in fact tied to chip ID (not sure if ipbox can change it) or something else, but it may be worth exploring.

Yes ) , very possibly the new IP BOX V2 might be the "missing piece of the puzzle", still it is a long way to have a "proper", "detailed" procedure and validate it from a forensics viewpoint, like most similar devices the manual/help file is next to non-existent (also due to language/translation issues) and the tool is more than anything else a "hacking tool".

Later in the article it is specified how with further attempts the Author did manage to make "full clones", though seemingly still with some limitations, so it is possible and it is very likely that the IPBox can do it.

In any case, doing the chip-off and replicating the setup that Sergei Skorobogatov describes in the article would remain far from "trivial", all in all the article confirms how NAND mirroring represents a possible path, debunks FBI statements, confirms Jonathan Zdiarsky's theoretical approach and surely the method will before or later become replicable.
