Could you build this?

No This requires low-level Android kernel manipulation, USB gadget driver configuration (ConfigFS), and embedding network services (DHCP/TFTP/iPXE) into an Android environment.

What it would actually take: Building this requires deep Android low-level internals knowledge (NDK, root, Linux kernel). It involves exposing the Android device's USB port as a Mass Storage or CD-ROM device via the Linux USB Gadget API (ConfigFS), or running a local daemon providing DHCP, TFTP, HTTP, and PXE boot images across USB tethering or Wi-Fi. The core barrier is hardware-dependent kernel module support and platform-specific USB controller configurations.
