YES. You can make a good novel of it.
You need to defeat public key cryptography if you want to flash a firmware not signed by BQ.
Or figure out an exploit based on system vulnerabilities to get acess to the system. In that case, if all goes well, you can get RW acess to the root filesystem, so you can tweak the stuff in there. But rootfs is one of the 8+ internal partitions that make the FW.
The 1st option is trully SciFi. The 2nd option is in the realm of reality. But the 2nd option only makes possible to run your own programs on top of stock FW, not replacing the FW itself.
Please open a thread elsewhere, maybe it gets more attention than here. This thread contains instructions to install KOReader that require Developers FW installed and thus not available anymore for new lurkers.
