Short answer: you can't.

Long answer: It's technically possible, but the code would be in ARM Assembly, and as such not easily "readable" per say. You'd have to do a ton of reverse engineering to even start guessing what it was doing.

What exactly do you expect to be able to read? The only thing you could get is a decompressed code.bin which you could open in IDA Pro and look at the ASM code
