All of the low level functions are dealt with by the modem firmware.
This can be flashed.
However, it will not operate unless the signature is correct.
Even if you replace the (as I understand it) package-on-package
flash memory, the chip still verifies the signature before booting.

So, you basically can't, unless you can crack the signature.
