Flashing the firmware to the "same" model hardware, but wrong version or revision could brick your hardware. For some models, Flash RAM is limited, so it’s also important you choose a build that takes up less storage space than is available. Otherwise, you could run out of Flash RAM and your hardware could be bricked.
