Hi Nemesis2k9,

I had the same problem. I spent hours and hours trying to recover it.

I stumbled across some instructions (not sure where I found them now).

If you are able to still able to get into FTM mode.

Download the following:

ZTE V9 Stuff

Follow the document (except where it says to send the ID's, copy the patched file into the install directory) found in android_2.2_for_zte_light-read_1st.rar

This worked for me and then I was able to get the CM7 Gingerbread mod.

Best of luck

This worked for me.

Take out the battery. Put on the back cover. Hold both volume + and - while plug in the USB cable to a PC.

It will automatically get into FTM mode. Then flash generic 2.2 firmware on it. After flashing, it may stuck in the FTM loop. Put in the battery and flash again.

After 2nd flashing, take out the battery for 10 seconds. Then put it back. Press and hold both Power and Volume + to boot into Android.
