Matt's answer worked 100% my zte max duo just shut off and would not turn back on I tried for 30 minutes. finally googled an answer and it worked. I had to hold  the power and volume down button and it turned itself on after about 20 seconds.

I have the ZTE grand x max plus, the red light is on, and it keeps powering up red light shuts off the screen stays on for a second then shuts off and then does it all over again...... I have tried the power and volume button at the same time, I get the FTM screen and then it starts all over again.... somebody please help

Matt_10157 saved my day - week - month, etc!!! His solution worked the very first try!! My Grand Max X Plus was suddenly DEAD - no light no nothing. I tried recharging. Nothing but sadness, knowing I could not afford a new phone anytime soon. I held down the power and the volume down buttons simultaneously and started counting....when I got to about one-thousand-fifteen it beeped! Lit up! then gave me a weird screen that said FTS or something like that, so I held the same buttons again and it started up normally! No loss of anything! I should add that just prior to this last ditch effort, I looked at the phone and told it to "work in the name of Jesus" before doing it. Thank you Matt_10157 and thank you Jesus!
