Too many pattern attempts

Hi guys, so yeah as the title says, my son got himself a blade last week and has locked himself out the device with "too many pattern attempts" ( he has no google account :S ) i was gonna do a reset in bootloader/recovery mode but i cannot get there.
I have spent all last night trawling the web looking for a work around for this to no avail. When i power up the device with volume - held i get a FMT logo in the middle of the screen, when i power up the device with home and volume + it just boots through to the google account details screen, which when i enter any google account details and hit enter it goes nowhere (heard that this is a bug?) i also have tried calling the device and tried to get in that way. Im getting seriously pissed off with it now lol, can anyone help or throw some info my way? thanks in advance.

You could try boot into Fastboot and then flash ClockworkMod Recovery via that. Then you could wipe data and flash a new ROM.
Also, do you know whether the phone is Gen 1 or Gen 2? Is it a San Francisco running on 2.1 i.e. with no modifications?

Dunno which gen it is bud, yeah it's a san fran and im pretty sure its running 2.1 and it is totally stock, no mods on it at all, i dont have the first idea on how to get into fastboot on the blade, i barely know my way round my own phone lol.

Switch off the phone . Then hold volume up and press power button . Then it enters into fastboot mode. U don't see a seperate title for fastboot mode, but it shows the same splash screen as long as it is in fastboot mode.
Once in fastboot mode, install zte USB drivers (if on windows pc). Then connect phone to of with USB cable. Now using the command prompt and adb tools, u should flash the recovery.img file which u should download seperately for ur corresponding Gen.
The fastboot command to flash recovery is
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
Alternatively u can flash a TPT which should give custom recovery AFAIK.

Then it should be 2.1 and Gen 1.
I think a TPT would be easier in this scenario.

Thanks a lot for the help guys, but im too chicken to mess around with it lol, the wife is just gonna take it back to orange tomorrow and see what they say, if no luck with them i will look more into it, thanks again

Bricked please help i`m beging you

Hello guys i really messed up things with bro`s zte blade originaly sold gen 1 upgraded gen 2 with windows tool but dont know why every it wouldnt installed apps from play on stock or any other custom rom(mokee,swedish snow.stirfry) so i tought to do a tpt to repartition and then flash a rom so i downloaded tpt helper from play and chosed the gen2 v2a tpt, unziped it turned off the phone start it with menu +volume up and power so it loaded a band till the almost end then said fail something error and i freaked out so i think i removed the battery or i waited some time dont know anymore and know if i try to flash another tpt it boots to black screen and led is red, tried almost eveything and i`m really panicated, hope someone can help me cause i`m in a real mess
Sorry for my bad english but i`m starting to freak out this never happened to me. i have other device but i dont think i`ll do anything more to them. Please help me out, i`m beging you

Ok so it seems i left it on over the night and in the morning the device had moldovan mile on it( i flashed that tpt too in my despair) but now the device doesnt have ftm mode or recovery or boot animation, i tried to flash a recovery with rom manager it says it flashed it but if i try to enter recovery mode it boots to black screen so i tought i should flash another tpt but i`m a little afraid to do that consider the trouble i went trough with last one so i`m asking for your help to point me to a good tpt( the blade checker says it is gen 2 upgraded with windows tool) with good partition which will not make it bricked again and maybe explain again how should i flash the tpt the part with the combo menu +volume up+power it should till the screen is turned on or till the entire tpt process is finished?
Thank you in advance and it seems that miracles still exists
SOLVED! BLADE UNBRICKED

Help me unbrick ZTE V987 rooted and stuck on ZTE logo boot

Hi all,
My zte v987 is rooted and got stuck on zte logo boot.
Before it got stuck i was playing around with an app called "freedom" that hacks in app purchases. I went into settings and turned on the "freecore" it rebooted itself after and got stuck on zte logo forever. I am able to go into recovery mode but i dont have custom recovery installed i also dont have a backup of my stock rom or any kind of backup. I am clueless about flashing so i will really need a step by step instruction. I also tried resseting my phone back to factory settings but nothing happened. I also read some threads about flashing recovery using adb and fastboot but since im a noob on android i turned off (I dont know if you need it)usb debugging mode before this all happened and i dont know what to do now. I need help.
Thanks in advance also sorry for posting this twice since im a newbie and i really need help

To switch it off press and hold power button...the screen will switch off...keep holding. Lg logo will show up again..keep pressing until it goes away...now its off...
Then u can try getting into download mode(most likely it will go into fastboot mode.)

Okay your phone is fine...boot into download mode by pressing volume up while phone is off. Then inserting a usb cable.
In download mode it will show you something like BXXX....after the 5 blue dots. If it is download mode you flash your firmware and start afresh coz thats what i did when the same happened.
Tell me if u are in download mode.
