The ZTE Max XL is a 2017 Android 7.1.1 smartphone powered by the Qualcomm MSM8940 Snapdragon 435 (28 nm) with 2GB and 16GB | 32GB internal storage. It features a 6.0", IPS LCD, 1080.0x1920.0 display and is available in Black.

The Max XL is equipped with a Li-Ion 3990 mAh, non-removable, a 1080p@30fps main camera, a 5 MP front camera. The device uses a Nano-SIM configuration. It weighs 180 g.

A bootloop on the ZTE Max XL occurs when the device repeatedly restarts without fully loading Android. This is commonly caused by a failed software update, corrupted system files, or an incompatible app. Most bootloops can be resolved without losing data by clearing the cache partition first before attempting a factory reset.

Factory reset may be needed as a last resort — erases all data.

1

On your ZTE Max XL: force restart: hold Power for 15–30 seconds

2

If still looping: enter Recovery Mode

3

Navigate to 'Wipe cache partition' → confirm → reboot

4

If still looping: return to Recovery

5

Select 'Wipe data/factory reset' → confirm (erases all data)

6

Last resort: use your manufacturer's PC tool to reinstall firmware
