metropcs zte concord II says unauthorized software has been flashed topic

no, i didnt flash anything. its rooted on the stock rom, i can still get into recovery. tried factory reset, no go.

am i hosed? i contacted ZTE about an RMA (this phone is less than a year old) and they said im SOL but could pay 40$ for a repair. eff that.

i have CWM-based recovery v6.0.5.0 installed.
