Don't know about being bricked but when I tried this my phone went to hell! Apps wouldn't launch and just bringing up the dialer to make a call took like 2 minutes! I only tried this because I had everything backd up, so needless to say I had to do a factory reset and reinstall everything. Beware of this and try at your own risk ( only if you have a backup! ). No knock on the O.P. though... I love to tinker )
