ZTE Zmax stuck in "powered by android" screen - ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers

Today I meant to factory reset my phone, but instead I accidentally wiped it and now it's stuck in the powered by android screen.
I looked everywhere and no luck.
In the area for our phone there was nothing nor could I post there because less than 10 post.

What did you wipe
I guesa system

Hmm you have to flash your stock rom. Through fastboot/download mode.
It will sopve your problem.

Any way to do this using the stock recovery? I am in this situation as well but no CWM, only stock recovery.

To do what you are suggesting, I need Root access correct? Without root access, can I flash a custom recovery? If so, could you share a couple of words on how to do that?

If your tablet is using faatboot mode then you are complled to have root access to flash recovery.
But if your tablet uses download mode/odin mode. You can just use odin software on pc and flash recovery without root access.
On basis of which mode your tablet have,tell me the mode and i will give you a detailwd diacription of how to flaah recovery.
We need recovery to do alot of things.
Like flash zips and rom locally.
Mount and format any partition.
Flaah roms without signature verification.
And many more.

Sorry man you're screwed. Get a new phone because there's no flash tool for the zmax and no fastboot either. If a hard reset from recovery doesn't fix it take it in if you haven't rooted or anything.

If you can access recovery mode then flash stock rom..
As only way to fix it up

Thank you, but didn't work. This phone isn't good in my opinion.

User error, you wiped system and didn't have a spare rom to flash. The phone is amazing for the price with the right rom on it.

So that will allow the device to accept the recovery image? How do I install CWM Recovery, through Odin or some other tool?
Damn, there is no way to install CWM to the recovery rom through the stock recovery partition? I found the CWM page for the device, but it has to be done through the booted OS. What would happen if I tried to use Odin to install it?

Your device is bricked, get it replaced. No way to recover, and if you think you can use Odin on a zmax.... You're better off with an iPhone.

I can get to recovery, but I tried a bunch of Roms and none of them were allowed. I need that sig verification toggle. I can get to Download mode, but there is no tool for that?

Flashed kit kat rom, no recovery.

I flashed a kit kat ROM earlier to play around on, and when I was rebooting I accidentally hit the wrong button in cwm to not reflash recovery. Now I don't have recovery anymore, and I don't have access to a computer so I can flash the PA version of Kit Kat. ROM manager will not flash recovery for me. Is there anything I can do to get recovery without a computer?

you can flash the twrp recovery via the goo manager app.
Do you think flashing recovery through adb would work getting recovery?
Sent from my AOSP on Mako using xda app-developers app
well, if you have access to a computer use fastboot. you can probably flash via adb as well.
I wont have access to a computer for a few hours but I'm thinking that's my best bet, as I don't have root

you don't need root to fastboot either, you just need to boot into the bootloader. of course, and have the drivers installed in the computer. same for adb.

From the looks of it, my computer wont recognize fastboot commands in either OSX or Windows. I've installed the necessary files on both OS's and still nothing.
Well I was able to "flash" it, but it didn't actually flash. Still the dead android with the red triangle.
EDIT: I can get to the menu by pressing power+volume up. is there anything I can do there to help?
Did you try flashing a recovery from Recovery Tools aplication?
You will find it in Play store.

I was in the same situation you were.
Do these things:
1. Install the drivers for ur N4.i used Wug's toolkit ONLY TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS.
2. Next set up your fastboot.
3. Download the the latest CWM recovery (i think it was 6.0.4.3 touch).
4. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Voila! U got your recovery back.
6. (optional) Download the SuperSU 1.65 version and flash it via recovery.
Hit the thanks if i helped!

I've tried that. When after I flash in fastboot and hit start in the bootloader, it starts into android and not into recovery. Should I click recovery instead of start?

Well one would assume clicking on recovery would send the phone into recovery, instead of start. PS. When you see the Android with red icon, you are looking at the stock recovery itself, so no, you do have (stock) recovery on your phone.
I tried that, and it worked. However, the only thing I can flash is my backup. Attempting to flash a different rom, like the 4.4 PA doesn't flash it, just leaves that same 4.4 rom.

[Q] Updating Recovery

Hi guys.
I want to update my recovery and currently have the CWM Touch recovery installed. I wanted to flash the Official TWRP recovery and was wondering if I have to revert back to the stock recovery and then install TWRP or do I just download goomanager on my phone and install TWRP from there ON TOP of the CWM I have?
Thanks
Yeah do the goomanger thing
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can download the latest TWRP img file and use fastboot to flash.

Use AutoRec. Why were you using methods that weren't tested/recommended?

Yes, download the recovery image file to your pc. Then run in a command window
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Where recovery.img is the image file
If you don't have fastboot setup Google 15 second adb install xda
