I am having trouble understanding exactly what you did. Which .img file did you delete? If it was the recovery.img did you put a new one in its place?

What do you mean by "tried to format the partition"?

If all else fails and you can get it into download mode and follow the instructions in this post. You can always then restore a nandroid backup from your SD card, or start over from stock.

To be able to help more, I would need more detailed information as to what you did exactly.

i cant even get into download mode. It just vibrates

I got it to work Thank you !!!!!

but now it says 'android.process .phone has stopped unexpectedaly. Please try again
(force close)' and then it reboots.

Any ideas?

This has nothing to do with your original problem... sounds like the rom is corrupt or there is a permissions problem. First try 'fix permissions' in the advanced menu in recovery. If that doesn't work then you'll either need to try a factory data reset from recovery... or restore a nandroid backup... or reload a new rom.
