Root Bricked?

[urrachris]

Sooo...
My last Awe went for a swim, and I just got a brand new one out of the box.
I fastboot to TWRP, wipe it COMPLETELY, including system, and go to flash TWRP... and reboot.
Now I have no system and am still on stock recovery... FML.
Is it bricked now?
HALP!

You should of flashed a custom recovery before anything else. It sounds like you've wiped everything and then rebooted without flashing twrp. Fastboot should be used to fastboot into twrp/cwm to flash a custom recovery. Try downloading this update package from zte and flashing to restore it to stock.
