Thanks for your contribution totlth!!
 
I did and it went well the only problem is it doesn't look right with no backup/restore option or option to flash zip

I've never heard of this happening.

First of all, did you try scrolling down. If you didn't or don't know how, just use the volume buttons.

If this is a real problem I'll make this as easy as I can for you.

1.)Place image in the root of your sd card.

2.)open terminal emulator

3.)type: su

4.)press enter

5.)copy and paste what's below
(paste by long pressing at cursor I emulator)

dd if=/sdcard/touch-recovery2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery


Weight untill it is through (you will see more text appear underneath what you just pasted)

Close emulator, boot into recovery.
 
The root is the first part of the sd card where all the folders are. When you put the file on your sd card do not put it in a folder. Should be something like G:/ "put file here" where g is your SD card.
 
(Here comes a 2 year bump)

Does anyone happen to have a working copy of this, the other or the TWRP recovery? I can't for the life of me find them anywhere on here or anywhere else. All links broken due to being old. Wish more people attached files. :)

I happened to get ahold of 100 old MetroPCS and other carrier android phones. In the bunch there is a lot of these Avid 4G's. I plan on selling them or offering them under my Page Plus account as starter phones maybe. So far ive managed to root it and find some ROMS but I dont think the ROMS links work either.

I need working links for recovery and roms or if someone could send me a recovery and a rom or 2 that would be awesome.
 

Thanks a bunch brichster. Much appreciated. Are you sure these are for the Avid 4G N9120? I don't think they are. Appears they are for the N800 model.

EDIT: Is the N800 the Virgin Mobile variant of this phone? Specs are almost exact. Same chipset ram etc.. only they show 512mb for the Avid 4G when ZTE's website shows 1GB for it (and i mean the old 2012 edition not the new one).
