Root ZTE Score is in Soft Brick?!?!? HELP!??!?!

[JummyBlazed]

So, I rooted my phone saturday, and didn't do much on it til early this morning when I started deleting factory apps with Terminal Emulator...I had succesfully deleted Photobucket, Books, Ponyt, Talk, and a couple others, but then I accidentally switched to landscape while using TE and I thought that pressing execute would return me back to the regular TE screen, it didn't. And when I did return to the regular TE screen, all of the android system items began force closing repetitively.

So initially I believed that it was the TE that accidentally deleted the android system stuff when I was pressing execute, but now I believe it was just a common mishap that happens once a phone is rooted, given the user toggled with the phone.

Well, I unfortunately did not download Rom Manager, or anything that would have gotten ClockWork on to my phone. Therefore when I get into recovery mode, it is the Android recovery mode, and after the wiping of cache and wiping of data/factory reset and rebooting, the bootanimation continues to reboot, never getting to the home.

I have read the guide by Phistachio on fixing such problem, and I have tried such. But while using Odin, my final message has continuously been <ID: 0/005> SetupConnection..

And looking at the loading bar, no progress has seemed to be made. I was wondering what I may be doing wrong or what may I do to fix this issue. And also, does the ZTE score have a Download Mode?

PS: Thanks to anyone who've taken their time to read and/or aid me with this.

I've put together a modified zerg root rush that also flashes the custom recovery for this phone(posted at the cricket users forum zte score forums)this should still work even with being stuck in boot loop then you could flash the stock rom or a custom one at that point Hope this helps

Sorry bro I tried I only had one more idea. Posted it on your post over at cricket users forum.

Note to others: This is why flashing the custom recovery and making a backup should be the first thing you do after rooting. Do not try making changes before making a backup and definitely no changes should be made before installing custom recovery this is the exact reason why I modified this zerg rush (found at cricket users forums only for now) so that less people had this issue so please use this zerg or at least make sure you have the custom recovery installed before removing anything from your rooted phone.

Thanks anyway man! But do you think it's worth giving it another go, you know getting the phone again, and rooting it the proper way?
