Red light, soft brick.. need help!!

[Guest hulio25]

Hi guys!!!

 

I flashed stock recovery with this (thru terminal):

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 

and bricked my phone.

 

I used KonstaT´s recovery.img that i found here:

 

http://www.modaco.com/topic/360389-recovery-clockworkmod-6049-for-zte-blade-iii/

 

Didn´t really understand the warning a few rows under.  :blush:

 

Now only red light shows up when I try to turn it on.

 

The phone shows up in device manager as ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface (DFU), (even when i connect it without holding buttons??).

 

I tryed to fix it with MAL_DFU_tools.exe with stock recovery.img that i found here (inside the update.zip):

and here:

but it didnt work.

 

 

It goes well and finishes the job but when i try to turn it on again only red light shows (even when holding vol+ and power it doesn´t go into recovery).

 

I´m thinking about flashing all files thru DFU but im scared that i´ll brick it completely.. Don´t know what to do next..

 

The phone is brand new, still under warranty, maybe I should give it back and ask for repair..??
