Same result here, but I get a blue flash at the top of the screen as if it is trying to draw something and then the phone shuts down.

But now, of course, I don't have a working recovery so I can't return to 5.0.2

How do I flash a working recovery?

Download stock recovery from stock ROMs thread. Extract recovery.img from the zip and copy it to your sdcard. Use dd command from the first post to write it to recovery partition. It really doesn't matter whether it's stock or custom recovery you're flashing (it's just easier to use TWRP to flash the stock recovery since that's possible).

I did a new build with a prebuilt kernel from the 5.1.1 stock ROM. I'll PM a link if someone wants to test it.

[Guest smokerman]

How come? I don't see how this wouldn't work with 5.1.1 unless ZTE has done something stupid again...

it doesnt work..we need a new one for 5.1.1...i test if you want..i easily go back if something goes wrong..

I'll test it as I'm messed up anyway :)

[Guest KonstaT]

smokerman already tested it. It boots, it ships. :P Should be fine now. I guess you need ZTE to release an updated kernel source, too...

[Guest lunario]

thanks already have it on PT ;) we need MIUI port or CM ;)

[Guest fluxcapacitor]

If someone is on the 5.0.2 ROM, will it be able to boot into the 5.1.1 twrp? 

 

Or , should they update to stock 5.1.1, root, flash twrp for 5.1.1 ?

 

[Guest LiNe171]

You need to update..

Not sure, no harm in trying.

Using stock recovery to install the official 5.1.1 is the only proper update path. Since ZTE has crippled the bootloader (no fastboot) you'll always have to first somehow gain root access in Android to install a custom recovery. Actually it's just another massive fail from ZTE that they didn't patch those known vulnerabilities that you're exploiting to elevate root with this new update...

For reference,  I just downgraded to 5.0.2, rooted and installed the TWRP for 5.1.1 and it seems to work fine.

Anyone notice a strange bug on the TWRP for 5.1.1? Every time I try to look in /system with the TWRP file manager it wipes that folder. Very strange and not sure what is causing this. 

Can anyone else replicate this? Obviously make a backup of /system before you try. 

Wow, please ignore me everyone. I hadn't mounted the system partition! Idiot

Hmm, strange that it doesn't work the other way around then. Likely nothing to do with the kernel itself. They had changed ramdisk offset for 5.1.1, though.

Now I'm using TR03C Turkey 5.0.2 Rom. Should I do SDCARD update or wait for OTA? Because now, there is no OTA update on update center

[Guest LiNe171]

Im using turkey 5.1.1 ROM.. I will use it until they send the update via ota for my country.

It doesn't for me... It just refreshes to the download button. Can you reupload it somewhere else?

Just tried it and it works fine, try a different browser or disable your extensions. That said I had AdBlock enabled which didn't affect it. I'm using:
