Root Flash radio/bootloader from another phone

If I were to flash a radio or a bootloader for a different phone, would I be able to fix it? I'm trying to prove to a friend that my phone is unbrickable.

Its not unbrickable and it would be easy to brick it if you know what you are doing. If you flash a radio or bootloader image you should be able to revert if you have the radio and bootloader for the MT, but there are no guarantees...

LOL! This is like saying "If I drive my car head on into a brick wall, could I possibly be brought back to life? I'm trying to prove to my friend that I'm invincible" ;)

Nah, I would imagine if you made a Nandroid backup and were still able to put your phone into download mode you should be able to recover your phone.. but there are no guarantees...

I did some research and apparently radio boots before bootloader (download mode = bootloader) so if I screw up the radio it won't even get into download mode.
 
I think you and your friend need to find something better to fight over, or go get some girl friends...... :D:D

Let them have their fun :D. I mean it only a $300 phone lol. I mean I wouldn't want to risk a $300 phone to find out how easily it can be bricked when messing with stuff like that. Now if it was a phone I paid $20 for I wouldn't care.
