You can't do this. Motorola could have done this and supplied Apple with the data. Apple could have done it as follows: 1. install firmware that _immediately_ checks the temperature 2. power off the hardware and let it sit until it matches the room temperature 3. power on, save data, power off 4. put the hardware in an oven and let it sit until the temperature is stable 5. power on, save data, power off 6. install normal firmware, plus saved data Skip steps 4 and 5 if you only want one calibration point.
