I haven't heard of anyone doing it. Since it always will boot off an SD card first (built into the hardware that way), all you need to do is have a bootable SD card and from there you can restore the original firmware back to the internal memory of the NC.

I would say if one got bricked, it would be due to overclocking or a real hardware failure of some sort.
