firstly I want to say that I'm Chinese, and I have no idea if I could make you understand.

So let's begin!

1. you should download the stock ROM P736E, and extract it on your desk. Here's the B13 for you.

3.open the tool named USDL....

4.press the ! to change it to "管理员" mode.and input the code like this

→

you can press the english verson if you are not chinese ;)

5.(on your phone)take out the battery. press the volume + and - at the same time.

you can press the volume keys with one of your thumb, and use another hand to conect your phone to your computer with USB. then the computer will find a hardware. check your device management, you'll find like this. just remember the COM you have!(mine is COM11)

6.back to the tool, press option-port config

7.choose the COM you have. better use line2.

8.press the SW directory button to choose the B13 ROM(the on you have extract on your desk)

9. press the button here

Nice work iharrybao!

But the 'force flash tool' didn't download correctly for me (due to the Chinese characters), so I've changed it to English and re attached it here:

USDL_P726CV1.00.00.rar

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I have open it. and observe that volume strip was broken. just join the missing link with the this wire and voila... phone was in FTM/DFU mode without problem. And is up and running in next 2 min. :) after flashing.

Best regards

[Guest TygerTyger]

Thank you very much for this guide. I tried absolutely every technique, nothing worked, even ZTE's own recovery equivalent couldn't recognize the phone properly. But this worked and I have my phone back!

Hi, My vivacity suddenly had problems with booting up and just sticks at the T-Mobile Logo so I wanted to try your procedure to see if I can get the phone going again. In your instructions you said that your COM is COM 11but in the example you give it says:

"ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface COM 13"

So in the example would it be COM 13 to use or am I missing something? Sorry, I am an amateur at all this.
