thanks for the replies! i have no experience in flashing at all and decided to turn it in yesterday,APPARENTLY because of the message which says " you have modified your device therefore your warranty is permanently voided"(not in exact words) they would not accept my warranty for a repair/replacement. i decided to hand kit over to a phone repair shop and picking it up 2 hours from now.

the guy said theres a chance the fone will be in a worst condition though
