Anyone who gives you a copy of the image in their NVX is also giving you their vpd file, which includes their serial number. Since those units are long past Netgear support, maybe they won't care. I'm not sure how you intend to install the image if the unit is bricked, however. If you can still get into recovery mode, then make a copy of your vpd using the instructions here: Backup-and-restore-of-VPD-file-for-legacy-ReadyNAS-running-oS6 .
Most have had success in recovery from trying to convert an NVX to OS6 using the USB recovery tool. Make sure you are using the one for 4.2.x, not 6.x. Why are you trying to re-install c++? What, exactly, are you seeing when you attempt to run the tool? Have you tried running it as administrator (some have found that to be necessary)? You also must already have a USB drive inserted when you run it (though it should tell you that and then let you exit).
One might guess because of the recovery image does error-out before the 4.2 image is required?
