That's where the community always comes in handy. Those who can reball those many chips can flash some ROMs, no less.

Quote from your referenced article:

"even the bootloader is cryptographically signed – no patching out the RAM check code, sorry to spoil it."

So, according to this article, you really have to downgrade the bootloader to an old version that does not yet contain the RAM check.
