No, it should not brick your chip (well, at least it didn't brick mine,
even that it didn't manage to load the firmware correctly and left the
chip in a bogus state, but reboot seems to cure it).

I've posted exact instructions how to use it and debug log earlier in
this thread, you being CC'ed, I don't understand how could you've missed
those emails.
