Downgrading the Radio from GPS to Non-GPS was the 'brick' warning you're talkin about.

To briefly rehash this topic...the thing is that is it possible to downgrade but due to difference in physical location of the radio, the 3.X Radio will never be completely overwrote by a 1.X Radio, leaving behind some traces of code... which could cause problems (like download mode) and which could also never be noticed.

That being said, you can try to brick it, but good luck
