yup

nope - both flash and ram reside in a package stacked on top of the modem

you seem to refer to ages-old technology - the ROM is obtained on the same chip
implementing the modem

Setting aside for a moment any consideration about the legal implication of what you seem 
to be trying to do, you would need anyway intimate knowledge of he HW (both SoC and PWB)
and means of HW debugging typically available only to experts.

My point is mainly that if you had access to such tools, most likely you would not be asking
the questions you have asked so far. But since you are, most likely you won't have access to the
tools needed, even assuming you gain all the knowledge required.

Sorry if my assumptions are wrong, but it looks like you have set yourself a goal quite
unlikely to be achieved.

cheers, igor
