Is that technically possible when facing a sufficiently determined adversary?

I don't understand your question. Do you mean is it possible to prevent flashing of iPhones that Apple have ransomwared?

Yes. Is it possible in principle to prevent flashing without bricking the device? How would one do that on a deep level? I don't think it can be done on computers, but am happy to be corrected.

not without boobytrapping your phone by adding capacitors etc that would shortcircuit it in case flashing hardware was connected to it
