I assumed that it simply wasn't possible for a program written in .NET to make such system changes easily. Anyone with an iota of sense should have questioned it asking for admin since you're only editing a rom, not your computer system. xD
Ah well. I didn't believe it and I found out for myself, which was all that mattered. I figured it had to be malware instead, that was more likely than that hacking tool, and if the poor guy had malware, he would have needed to format anyway, and if not he didn't need to use recovery. Ah well. The kid kinda used a nuke to kill a fly, but that's not a big problem for us. :P
