Could you build this?

No Firmware flashing tools for MediaTek chips require reverse-engineered BROM/preloader protocols, USB driver work, and hardware-level knowledge that vibe coding cannot supply.

What it would actually take: Building this means reverse engineering the device's bootloader protocol over USB, writing kernel-level or libusb drivers, and implementing partition-table and image handling safely. It requires embedded systems and security research expertise and access to test hardware.
