Could you build this?
No Rooting and modifying locked-down proprietary Android hardware frames requires low-level Android exploit engineering, custom bootloaders, and firmware reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires hardware debugging (UART/JTAG pinouts), firmware extraction, finding vendor-specific vulnerabilities (e.g. MediaTek/Rockchip bootrom exploits or Android privilege escalations), and building custom recovery/ADB daemon payloads. Demands deep embedded hardware hacking and Android OS internals expertise.
