you should probably add this will not work on the US variants. if you cannot test how do you know this won't brick people devices?

How can you brick a device without flashing new kernels? It's the only way for hard brick.

No my friend. Unfortunately it is not the only one. There are many ways to kill the device software. For example:
* Flash foreign bootloader, kernel, recovery, pit via Odin
* Flash foreign update.zip from different device via CWM or Mobile Odin - needs root
* Remove dev/block
et cetera...

Yes but i mean that using my tool the only way to HARD brick is flashing a wrong kernel
