I've used a clip similar to the "360-clip" to reflash TSOP-48 NAND flash without desoldering. Honestly, I found it easier to desolder with chipquik than try to get a clip like the above to work though. Chipquik and a breakout board and then a SD/MMC controller (see: http://www.trapbit.com/reports/blueray-blues-1.pdf http://www.trapbit.com/reports/blueray-blues-1.pdf) Edit: but, also, I'm pretty bad at this stuff and hope someone jumps in with some more experience / saner advice

This is totally reasonable advice IMO. TSOP clips are an option and work OK, but are expensive and fiddly. Rework onto a breakout board is usually the cheapest and easiest option, whether hot air or chipquik. Another sketchy option is deadbug to the chip in situ (using solder or microclips), or test points if you're lucky and they are provided. This can be quite questionable depending on how backfeeding power into the board via the chip's Vcc works out, but is sometimes possible.
