I apologize. I wasn't aware that you had not built your own images,
that was my bad assumption.
Have you installed the android sdk? You will need to do so in order to
flash the device.
Also which platform are you using ( Windows, Mac or linux )?

Presumably, the 'flash.sh' script runs 3 or 4 commands that involve
fastboot; and it shouldn't be necessary for beta testers (which is what
anyone who purchased a ZTE Open is), to install the full build
environment just to use fastboot for flashing images to their device.
As I fall within the category of people who don't have the
resources for a full build environment, I have downloaded compiled
images from a fellow ZTE owner who was kind enough to compile Firefox
OS from source. Now that I have these .img files, I would like to know
how to use fastboot to install them onto my device.
Any instructions for using fastboot would be greatly appreciated.

The script flash.sh in the main repository should flash all the parts
including the boot.img.
ie: <project folder>/flash.sh

Thank you for the instructions for putting the ZTE Open into
fastboot mode. If possible, can you also supply the instructions
for using fastboot to flash compiled B2G images onto the ZTE Open?

FYI, Inari refers to the ZTE Open.
Doing the vol down+up + power should put you in fastboot mode.
This means that the "fastboot" should be able to see the device.
ie: fastboot devices
If that is the case, then you can flash partition images onto the
phone using fastboot. This is what the flash.sh script does. It
puts the device in fastboot mode and then flashes the images per
fastboot.
Chances if you are in fastboot mode then the boot.img that they
pointed you to worked. The problem is described by Eduardo on a
separate thread:
http://sl.edujose.org/2013/10/adapted-boot-image-for-use-with-b2g.html
Once you place the boot.img in the proper location, give flash.sh
another go. If that still doesn't work please let me know.
The other thing we could potentially do is flash just gecko/gaia on
the device provided that you can reboot the device and have adb
access. This is done by :
<project folder>/flash.sh gecko
<project folder>/gaia/make reset-gaia

Michael: Thank you but, it took around 15 e-mails and over two
weeks mailing around with the eBay seller until they actually
understood my problem. They kept pointing me to the download
already discussed in this thread over and over again, and I had
the impression that I was talking to a wall. As explained, when
they finally realized the actual problem they offered me a new
phone for 80% of the initial price (which is a 20% discount).
Again, I am not willing to throw an almost completely new phone
(never carried around, no scratches, screen cover not removed yet
etc.) in the trash can and buy a (discounted) new one just because
the firmware is bricked and ZTE refuses to reflash it. This is the
complete opposite of what I was expecting from a device marketed
as developer phone - not mentioning that it's completely crazy
when looking at it from an ecologic perspective.
Vinayak: Well, this is as similar to my situation, I assume you
can also access see the device over USB being in diagnostic mode
when you boot it by holding both voldown+volup + power although
the screen remains black?
