well thanks for the suggestions.. I think the phone is completely fried now.. I can't get it to turn on @ all.. it was running super hot (even for a Droid) yesterday when I was messing with it so I think it might have burned out completely.. I'm going to see if I can find a schematic and crack it open to physically remove the onboard memory all together.. wouldn't be so worried but all my passwords etc. are stored on there and I know this has some value for parts..

Hi Rich. I'm sorry but noone here is going to help you if you're trying to commit insurance fraud. Sounds to me like you're just going to have to buy a new phone.

Wow...I found this thread on Google because I'm (innocently) trying to do the same thing. I have to send my Droid w/ broken screen into Asurion and don't want any of my data going with it.

did you ever find out which chip is the memory? i would like to do the same thing as you since even a busted droid x w/ clean esn is worth $100 or more... mine wont turn on at all so it'd have to be a physical hack.

Cheers.
