Can I install Nokia 6131 firmware on to a Nokia 6133 phone?

I just bought the unlimited data package for my 6133 (through tmobile) and I found out that all java applications that aren't signed by tmobile are disabled on my phone (such as gmail and opera mini). I can't change the application access either. So I started thinking, isn't the Nokia 6131 the "un-crippled" version of the 6133? So I'm wondering how I can either change the application access setting, or install 6131 firmware. I am brand new to the phone hacking world, so I have no idea how to do this stuff. Could someone give me instructions on what to do (in an easy to understand way)? I don't have a usb cable, but I do have a micro sd card with a standard sd card adapter. Also, if I istall 6131 firmware, is there any risk in turning my phone into a paper weight?

If everything is done properly, it's possible to install RM-115 on 6133, but I have only done it using a standalone flasher, never with NSU, so I don't know if there's extra risk added.

NSU is always always always risky. The connection quality is an element totally beyond your control. If the connection becomes unstable/unreliable then you stand a good chance of bricking the unit.
