Could you build this?

No This is low-level hardware security research and vulnerability analysis targeting Qualcomm's Primary Boot Loader (PBL) RSA verification routines.

What it would actually take: Analyzing and exploiting a vulnerability in Qualcomm's ROM-level Primary Boot Loader requires silicon-level reverse engineering, Ghidra/IDA Pro decompilation of proprietary ARM machine code, cryptographic verification auditing, and hardware debugging (JTAG/fault injection). This demands elite hardware security and cryptographic exploitation domain expertise.
