Zte blade z max z982 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a ZTE blade z max phone that I got out of storage. I always keep my broken tech just incase. and sure enough I have a court date coming up and the information on this phone is my only hope.
This phone has a password that you have to enter before the phone fully boots. Can anyone point me in the direction of a method for a bypass that may work. I saw a post for methods that worked for people who's phones are fully booted but they cant remember their patterns or passwords. those methods are a bit out of my reach unless i've done something wrong. the phone hasn't be on since april-june of 2018 not sure if that would help any. Its also connected to my google account but the phone has no service and the wifi command is of no use cause i have a new ISP
Please help. I just wanna get this case out of my hair.

If this device has twrp you could flash it and boot twrrp and go into file manager data/system/remove gate keeper password and puzzle Key and lockscreen dbs and you can access the phone

I just recently began looking into twrp because there have been new root methods for the previous model to this phone in which i wanted to root. never got around to it. if this phone doesn't have twrp would it be possible to do so from the recover menu, (Power button + up volume)

If you factory restore the device your data partion and internal storage partion will be wiped and it more then I likely trigger that Google reactivation lock and you would have to put the last Google email used with the phone and password to start the setup process if you did a factory restore in twrrp you wouldn't lose your data cause unlike stock factory restore it just wipes the data partion and not internal storage partion

Try to get to system recovery by holding volume down and power.
Then wipe cache, then wipe data/factory reset.

I'm in the exact same boat... Going to recovery and wiping data doesn't fix the issue.
I'm trying to flash stock rom but it doesn't seem to be detected as a MTK Preloader device. Have you gotten anywhere with this?

I'm taking a total shot in the dark but I read somewhere that vol up & vol down plus power will get you into download mode - just a thought. I was thinking about buying one of these things, if it can be rooted. $20 at Best Buy this week!

ive just completed my root with kingroot 4.8.5 version, so far so good 3 days n running.just go to kingroot.net press da green android button n good luck.you do no about usg debugging and allow unauthorised apps .cheers bb225?
Anyone figure out how to fix this thing yet? I ended up with a black screen except for restart menu, and safe mode text when booting into safe mode. As well as vibrations from keypress, hard/soft keys, and factory wipe is in the same state as the earlier poster, useless, but accessible.. I also was rooted with kingroot, used super-sume, and that after I updated su binaries followed with a reboot to what seems almost like a broken systemui.apk but I wouldn't know. ****ing lame though.

Hey man can you do me a favor and share your NetworkSystemProvider UID apk with me? You can do this via Link2SD.
I accidentally uninstalled this app and now all network connectivity doesn't work.

I just picked up one these phones a couple of days ago. I thought I had soft bricked it. It got stuck on the boost splash screen and recovered itself after about 10 minutes. The thing just seems like an LG copy with physical keys. I was able to bring it into the android L recovery. Power, home key, volume down. When it flashes Alcatel. Volume up and press the power button a few times. Similar to the HTC phones. My question is when I first activated it. There was blue android splash screen. Is that when the boost stuff flashed itself? Almost seems like it locked the boot loader then. Read a little more and seen to just do the OEM unlock. Makes sense and seemed to have worked. Anybody has advice on what to do next? I'm about to go ahead and try some things I have success in the past with different phones.

im interested in knowing if you got your bootloader unlocked i attempted and got "waiting on any device" i figured it was an issue with the abd fastboot drivers from what i read online,so i tried using universal drivers and despite getting the serial when i type adb devices i still got "waiting on any device" when i tried "fastboot get-oem-unlock.
I'm new on here so bare with me I'm not certain of etiquette and such. I received an email saying to make sure I'm posting about the right device. I think the elevate from Boost and Virgin are probably the same phones. I just switched on OEM unlock in developer options through settings. It asked me if was sure. I have not gotten to hookup to a PC yet but I assume you are talking about something that I would call a fastboot adb. I have downloaded a terminal emulator and when I punch in "su" it says. "[email protected]:/ #"
Whether I have that switch on or not. Is there a command you can punch in to tell you if it's unlocked without rebooting into boot loader?
Unlock elevate
Where I'm going with this is that it says it is rooted as a one touch pixi. There is much more stuff about the pixi than the elevate on the pixi forum. Post 1192 on page 120 of the pixi 3 forum states that the elevate has a different chipset than the pixi. I seen some earlier posts on this thread that are saying the same thing and that this device is a Qualcomm device.

The first thing you have to do is to go to the app drawer and open an application called Samsung Retail.
Go to Configuration Settings and enter code 544 to unlock it. If this code do not work, try 5444
Uncheck Disable the factory reset and enter the following password to confirm it: M729Q16K8546..
Turn the phone off and press the volume up, power and home buttons at the same time to boot into recovery.
Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
Then reboot.
However if its an LDU then im pretty sure the antenna and sim card slot will have been removed.

Screen cracked, can´t access pictures etc

Hi.
My screen cracked and now I cant access files etc.
When I connect the cable to the pc the phone only charging since chargins is default :/
Any way to retrieve pictures, sms etc? Or transfer everything to a new android phone.
Are you rooted?
No:/
Is your bootloader unlocked?
If yes I think there is a way to take a full backup as an .img file
If not did you have backup to your Google account enabled? If yes just add your Google account on a new Android phone and select restore from latest backup during the setup wizard.
Is it unlocked by default?
Can I access the phone using command line or something? So i can enable file transfer.

It is locked by default for security purposes. Otherwise anyone with the technical knowledge would be able to access the contents of your device without the need to unlock it.
In order to create a system dump you need unlocked bootloader and root so you can make the appropriate mount points.
Best thing you can do is get the screen fixed and sell the phone... I work in a mobiles store that offer services like that. We buy broken phones, fix them, transfer the clients data to their new phone and sell the phone as a second hand device.... They must exist in your country too...
Too bad :/
I can unlock the phone with fingerprint, but I cant press on the screen to enable file transfer when the window pops up. Only getting charging. I will try to connect a mouse to the phone.
Solved.
Connected a mouse and could start samsung switch to transfer everything to a new mobile.
I would really like to enter recovery mode to do a hard reset of the phone. But there is no way to enter it :/

Recovery mode in Mi A3

When i press volume up and power key instead of going into recovery Mi A3 got formatted is it a bug or what ?
The same thing happened to me.
And also same thing happened with me

I think that the correct is the volume down…
Power + volume up should boot into system recovery ("no command" displayed). I haven't tried it and now I'm afraid to as the phone is already set up ? If it wipes without confirmation, it's definitely a bug.
It's also happened with me
Sapper Morton said:
Usually it wipes when you try to change slot to an old firmware version, it can be avoided, as explained by Typhus in other threads; however I never seen a factory reset obligation while completely stock, we need more info to be sure. As of now, I can access stock recovery as usual.

Phone should ask you if you want to wipe data after 3(5?) unsuccessful boot attempts (corrupted data or trying to boot old incompatible rom in second slot). At least this was the case on Mi A1. I'll try the behavior when I get another A3 phone.

It happened to me on A1 when I booted Oreo system after update to Pie. I forgot to turn off Oreo Substratum overlays before updating the phone. After the update, I was getting constant SystemUI crash, so thought that I'll fix it by booting Oreo slot and uninstall the overlays. Well, it didn't go well.. after a few failed boot attempts (Oreo and then also Pie) system asked me if I want to perform full data wipe to recover the phone, which I did [emoji846]
So maybe similar approach by booting previous Android version might be tried once this phone gets Android 10 update..?
Yeah! Bro ,
(Same pinch) - same thing happened with me also when I tried to boot my phone into recovery mode
It directly formatted unknowingly and
no options were displayed onto the screen
It directly got formatted without giving any warnings
A animated circel logo & A message apeared on my screen
:- Erasing...
And that's it , I got very much scared
But what is the use of being afraid now, what was to happen has happened
