<p>After I installed the BLTouch sensor, the manual adjustment of the Z offset is unreliable. I found that for it to work, the software endstops must be disabled. If they are enabled, the nozzle won't move either up not down.

By disabled you mean de-activated in the firmware?

There's an option in marlin that adds in the **move axis** menu an option to disable soft endstops. Disabling it this way allows the user to move any axis below 0 and above the printer size.
I'm using marlin 1.9 btw
