Can You Install a Pre-Boot OS On An Android Phone (For Tracking)

[x_clucky]

Is there any method to installing a pre-boot Operating System on an Android Phone that can run simple non-interactive tasks, such as a scheduled C++ script that obtains the GPS Location every few seconds, and sends an update to a remote server. The operating system would essentially always be turned on, unless the battery dies or is removed, and would continue to run after the phone's primary OS is turned off, and before it is turned on.

I've spent some time trying to see if anything like this already exists, or is even possible, and I'm interested if others have thought of this before as well. It would be great for phone tracking, as most phones nowadays have non-removable batteries, so a thief couldn't just simply remove the battery or turn the phone off to prevent being tracked.

1. C++ is a compiled language, there's no "script" form.

2. Android already "pre-boots" Linux.

3. "would continue to run after the phone's primary OS is turned off, and before it is turned on" doesn't make any sense. The OS is Linux, there's no "primary OS" and "secondary OS", unless you boot something that runs Linux in a virtual machine. If you did that, you'd make a Commodore 64 look like an extremely fast computer (it crawled compared to the slowest Android phone around)..

So, basically, no.
