No.

if flashing the zip file, you should use CWM
unless you are trying to flash the boot.img file, then use ODIN PDA.

there were alot of phone reported sudden death at XDA forum,
the death just happens to any phone, suspected to be flash corrupted.
i read several pages, a lot of incident happens when the users let their phones charged overnight and next thing they found their phone wont turn on.

this death also happens to both stock rom, custom rom, stock or 3rd party kernel, so it is not rom/kernel related issue, but is hardware related issue.
some in XDA saying their phones were "Made by Samsung" -- seems to be first batch..
and my phone is the first batch too, so dangerous..
