Root help, system/app empty, have full deodexed dump

[junkie2100]

i was deodexing and things went horribly wrong, cant get the files back into the system/app directory and the phone obviously wont boot without any applications...

possible options i can see

create and update.zip that signed correctly, i can make the thing i just cant make the phone verify it

use stock recovery though i dont know how or where the hell to get the recovery file from

figure out a way to make the zte update tool not reject the phone every time i run it because it says there are no updates available.

please help im really frustrated here

stock recovery

 

[junkie2100]

i do truly appriciate that, thank you. but i do have one more question, how do i install it?

 

[junkie2100]

yea i still have no idea what to do with that thing. i dont have adb access because the phone wont boot so fastboot isnt an option unless there is another way to enter bootloader mode, i can get into stock recovery which requires a properly signed zip file, and ftm mode but i got the updater tool and no matter how many times i follow the procedure to the letter it keeps giving me this crap and i cant continue

i know its not "fully" functional yet but backup capability works as well as unsigned zip installation, and i just had to go return my phone at the walmart because of the inability to recover my app directory, stupid updater app kept telling me there were no updates and not doing anything.

so yea knowing that i understand full well what im doing, i just need the bootloader drivers for fastboot to flash the image onto my phone
