Most definitely: yes!

If you are trying to port this to a different device, then yes, you should be prepared for the entire thing horribly failing, having to debrick the device, having to carefully monitor log files etc.

However, if you do know how to debrick the device, then all it needs (at least initially) is a little patience and a bit of fiddling around to find out whether the same method as on the K5 works for bootstrapping, or which other method can be used.
