Yes, it's a flash process, so if something goes wrong you have a chance to kill your phone.

That's why it's very important to have a fully charged battery, and as a backup I also do the process with the USB cable connected to a notebook, also with a fully charged battery.

If you can't restore it a Lenovo service center can, but they are located in China.

Anyway I did the process more than 10 times and never had a problem so far.
