I think what he is asking is, if he has a chip with code already on it and it is protected. Can he get the code off of it or make a duplicate of it if it is protected? Cloning the chip, basically. If that were the case, I would have about 30 360 wireless headsets that I would be able to fix. The SOIC chips are damaged and cannot be duplicated. Although, I have heard of this company, (don't know the name) in China that can crack the protection.
