Suggestion, when it works perfectly, make a nandroid. You can always revert back...that way, you can compare file placement. It will take a lot of comparing but should give the answers.

MasterChief, I may have missed something, you're zips cannot be flashed over official update?

You would have to flash back to stock unrooted KitKat with the stock recovery or else the official update will fail and possibly brick your phone.
Edit: Probably not possibly

Ok, of course. That makes total sense. Accessing this bootloader is still occupying a good portion of my mind. Can't let it go... Lol

If anyone is interested there is an app called Heads Off that stops the annoying pop up notifications in 5.1. Works great.

Really wishing I didn't jump the gun and update to the official lollipop update. I need root to add a line of text to the build.prop to see if miracast will work because apparently Google did away with it after 4.4.4 so yeah I'm screwed. Has anyone tried miracast on kitkat to see if its working?
Edit: I was able to get miracast to work in developer options. Then I used a shortcut to turn on miracast wireless display. Working great. I guess zte left the feature! Phew!

Sadly, I updated my z987 to the official ota 5.1 and I'm wondering how I'm able to flash stock rom KitKat 4.4.4 v1.3.9 does anyone have an idea of how I can do this? While my phone isn't rooted..

The only way would be to discover a new root exploit for 5.1 then study the bootloader to see if they locked it. Currently there isn't any way to root it after the 5.1 update

When I boot into stock recovery there's an option to boot into bootloader
Very flaky. Seems to give about 0.1% bandwidth of what's available. Unreal.

The results of which would most likely be a normal boot. Have you tried?

Did you turn on the enable OEM unlock option in settings? I think it is in developer options

I tried it again to refresh my memory and made sure OEM unlock was checked and I rebooted into stock recovery and selected reboot into bootloader and it started up normally besides the fact that the Lollipop splash screen was displayed for a little longer than usual

Because you were annoying the crap out of me with your complaints about Bluetooth and wifi and I should have known it was caused by xposed
