Black box of the downed SU 24 was opened in a live broadcast, RBC, Dec. 18, 2015. (There are two chip-sets shown on photos, both files will be stored here for now).

At a press-conference on Dec 21, it was announced that direct reading of memory was not possible due to damage (some cards are heavily damaged, in couple of others electric contact is lost). Specialists would be called to attempt bit-by-bit reading from damaged memory cards crystals. That will take some time to do.

Black box was located in the tail, where missile(s) hit, thus heavy damage inside.
