Well I have it it back to vm.I don't have data/3g and the activate app won't run just closes right away lol.Called vm told me they reactivated my features and said wait 2-4 hours for everything to work let's see what happens.
I'm kinda curious about what you told them caused your issue. Did you make it out to be just a random malfunction or are they aware that it came about through "tinkering"? I guess I'm just wondering how likely, if at all, they'd be to provide a replacement phone (if it'd come to that and you're within the warranty period) if they know what's really going on.
Further more talking about defrauding VM by sending them a phone you willingly broke is frowned against here. You know there is a chance to brick the phone when you modify it and accept those risks.
On the update...
To change the recovery in it, rename your recovery to match, then copy it into the zip. Simple as that.
To remove the recovery entirely (this needs to be done in both flash scripts),
Remove the recovery.img file itself, then in Meta-inf\com\google\android\updater script, remove these lines:
set_perm(0, 0, 0544, "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh");
ui_print("Writing recovery img ...");
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "recovery");
delete("/tmp/recovery.img");
When you say both flash scripts, which scripts are you refering to?
OT note- do not attempt to combine black ribbon eels and mini lobsters. These mini lobsters costs $45. The first one I brought home was a lesson in fine dinning.
