Thanks

Not sure to be exactly I would want you to brick your phone. I know this was only for the zte grand x max +
If anyone could help me, I would be very thankful. I had my rooted phone in my pocket, and it locked up. So I turned it off and it booted into TWRP. I rebooted again, same thing... I did a factory reset, same thing, I did a full disk wipe and installed an xmax rom from the sd card. Still the same. Tried one of my backups, it didnt work, tried another that was a factory reset. Still no go. I tried Cricket_Z987V1.3.9_Full_Stock_20150808.zip that I got from this thread. It changed the recovery but still only booted to the new recovery. The sad thing is that with the new recovery, I no longer can access the SD card from my computer and the up button doesn't work. I do have ways to get items onto my SD card if needed though.
The new recovery is Android System Recovery <3e> Z987V1.3.9
again, any help is appreciated

Do a factory reset and see if that helps. It sounds like your data partition is corrupted and you need to factory reset.

After that you can use kingroot to get root back
Thank you for the reply and thank you for you work with the ZTE Grand XMAX+
I tried that and it booted back into the recovery. (I did the factory reset from with in the recovery console)
So if you just select the reboot system now option in recovery and leave it alone for a few minutes what happens then?
It will reboot and go directly back to recovery. I have let it sit until the battery drains. It just sits there, the screen will dim, but that is it. Even if I try to reboot into download mode, it just goes back to the recovery.
Maybe u should try putting the ota update on your sdcard and updating from stock recovery since thats all you have and nothing else has worked

I made a huge mistake and didn't make sure all traces of root were gone before installing the new lollipop update from ZTE. Mainly I think it was a problem with recovery. Anywho, I am now stuck in a bootloop with no recovery. However, I can get into FTM which does allow for me to slightly communicate with the phone through the PC. The only reason I know that the PC can communicate with it is because "adb reboot" will reboot the phone. Also "adb install " random.apk" " will install an apk to phone apparently.
I'm not a phone guru by any means, but I thought that this info might be a jump start for anyone who knows ADB and might be able to help. Its worth noting that fastboot does not recognize the phone at all.
I hope this helps someone figure out how to fix this problem that a few of us are having.

Try this. Boot into ftm, connect your phone, and open a command prompt and try this. Type the following commands without the quotation marks.
(You should get a prompt that says [email protected]$ or something like that)
(Now the prompt should say something like [email protected]#)
If the $ changes to # when you type "su" then I can help you.
Shout out to Mastercheif for hard work on this phone with that said I think I will stay on kit kat right not I'm satisfied for now

No. I downloaded the update to lollipop off ztes site and being rooted and having a custom recovery it put me in a boot loop. I know I should of been stock but I was too excited as after asking zte and cricket about it both saying check with each other. Lol

OK, I'm having issues. Anyone know how to auto-hide the nav buttons?
I'm using masterchief's 5.1 ROM, so of course rooted. I have tried 4 different apps in the play store, and they work, for about 5 minutes then the phone reboots. After rebooting, I'll get maybe another 5-10 minutes of use, then it reboots again.
I then deleted each app as the problems persisted and downloaded good ole lmt launcher. The same issues persisted. I then did the switch trick to make system rw and adjusted the build.prop so that the nav buttons would not appear then used ROM toolbox to make lmt launcher a system app, but yet the problems still occurred. So I went back to the original build.prop setup and deleted lmt launcher, and there are no issues.
I would prefer to have pie style controls, but anything to make nav buttons auto-hide will work.
PS while in build.prop I noticed a line I didn't like
debug.sf.fb_always_on=1
I wanna know if I can safely disable or remove that line from build.prop cuz I don't care for Facebook.

Have you tried to use xposed? They have a module to go into immersive mode on specific apps but not sure just to hide Nava bar

I'm pretty sure that line is referring to the framebuffer, not Facebook.
