Alcatel OT 5020t Bootloop help

Howdy.

I was noobing around my phone the other day and managed to bootloop it. It isn't a hard loop, the phone will charge when plugged in even though it gets stuck on the carrier splash screen, but the PC can no longer recognize it. I can boot in recovery, so I don't think it will be too tough to fix, but I am fairly new to the world of Android, so I don't know how to go about creating a flashable .zip I can toss onto my SD card. I don't know what should or shouldn't be in the .zip.

Bootloader is locked, so no CWM.
PC will not see the device, so no adb
There (AFAIK) are no stock ROMs available
Already been reset

However,

It is rooted
I can boot in recovery
I have backups
I have image files of both stock and root recoveries

Problem is that I don't know how to make a flashable file from what I have.

Can anyone help me?
