I don't know how to back up that's why I didn't use ttitanium but I guess that could be the problem but is just a guess

By the way I found an app that lets you do WiFi tethering for free in case you guys have alot of data and it doenst require root well it didn't ask for root permissions and it works great.
Check out "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot PRO" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobility.studio.wifi.hospot

I have to used this because it doesn't let me turn on WiFi tethering from the settings it just doesn't turn on but the ap works great

Here is a new version of the TWRP-flashable pre-rooted 5.1 update. It has the modem update built in and it also updates the splash screen to the new one that comes with the 5.1 OTA. This should be the final version.

This worked great for me, I did a dirty flash over stock rooted KitKat (after a nandroid backup) and just wiped cache and davlik. After I let it settle for 10 minutes or so, everything works great. Thanks!

Its starting to look like the "enable OEM unlock" option in the developer options might just be something that is part of stock android lollipop that zte was just too lazy to remove. Idk. When we tried to reboot into the bootloader it just did a normal reboot.
Edit: I'm contacting ZTE right now to see if anyone there can tell me what the heck this option does if it does anything but I'm not getting my hopes up. The support people usually don't know anything and depend on a book or computer program to give them the answers that they then read back to you.

You should be able to unlock the bootloader using adb oem-unlock. This will do a factory reset on the phone as well as unlocking the bootloader. We don't need to unlock the bootloader because we can get TWRP out there through easier means, and there are no ROMS for this device, other than factory ones to run at this point.
