Is there anyway to install CWM recovery via ADB and flash one of the stock roms with the phone in this state?

Download the recovery.img attachment I've included (It's PhilZ) Download a stock rooted OS (google it, or check here) Place the recovery.img file where it can be used in ADB... and the stock rooted OS on the phone or microSD card. (Alternatively, you may try mounting the phone as storage from PhilZ and copying it to the phone from your PC) via ADB console: adb reboot bootloader (The phone will seemingly turn off, but the red LED will be on) via ADB console: fastboot boot recovery.img (This will temp-boot the PhilZ Recovery)

Note that this did not FLASH the custom recovery. It's only temporary. Now that you're in PhilZ Recovery, ensure that you have an OS to flash (Step 3) by finding it in the Install menu first (Don't install... just ensure it's there for you to use) Wipe the phone by whatever method and how many times you deem worthy Install the OS Pray for Success OPTIONAL: When you are able to boot a rooted OS, install Flashify, and permanently flash a custom recovery to the phone. You can use the same recovery.img file that I attached, or any other compatible recovery. I don't think Flashify will auto-download it for you, you'll have to find it. (This phone is unfortunately not mainstream/new enough for Flashify to have the files in its database)

I've seen something similar to this on a few of my wifi-only Sources. Tell me this - Are the colors all jacked up?You may not notice all the time, but if you've tried pulling the battery and/or rebooting the phone a few times, you might notice that there's a bizarre effect going on sometimes, and the colors are weird and/or the screen looks like an old CRT TV from the 80s with poor tracking. (Things waving around or jittering on the screen). I've never seen it happen until after I flash a very experimental (but surprisingly stable on a good install) version of CM11 for the Source. Did this happen to you on the stock ROM?If this is the case for you... then you will need ADB or some custom recovery options. If you've only got the stock recovery, you can open an ADB channel by choosing "install via ADB" or "install via sideload" (I forget which it's called). If you're able to get to that point, I'd suggest doing the following:Prerequisite: You know how to use ADB, how to install a custom OS in recovery, and where to put files that you intend to flash via ADB and recoveryWhen I had the "Stuck at ZTE Logo" problem, I also somehow lost one or more of the mounts, which threw an error when loading PhilZ. I couldn't access the internal storage, so I couldn't flash a new ROM.I googled the problem, and had to do some wild ADB stuff to rebuild the mounts. Eventually I was able to breathe new life into the phone and boot into a stable OS. I'm sorry, but I don't remember enough about that process to give a tutorial from memory like I did above. If you run into this problem, feel free to post or PM with your errors, and maybe something will come back to me.Good luck!
