Zenfone 5 random freezing on every Lollipop ROM

I faced random freezing on every Lollipop rom I tried in my phone (RR, CM, Stock, Gecko), with bootloader unlocked, and with bootloader locked, and tried with various kernels too. I can't use Lollipop on my device because this problem, typically occurs when I'm on Youtube or when I'm charging the phone, but occurs when I'm using the phone normally. Anyone else have this problem?
For more details, my model is Zenfone 5 A501CG 1.6 Ghz 8GB

give details of your phone..
boot to bootloader and write its version..
may be you have installed wrong version bootloader..
many people have faced this problem after bootloader unlock..
Search the forum..
solution is available..

Every time I return to stock, I use the downgrade tool to 2.21.40.44, and re-lock my bootloader with correct file from rom, and flash stock fastboot and recovery. Even with locked or unlocked bootloader, system keeps freezing randomly, in stock or in custom roms...

on which version are you currently on.. are you on kk . 44 ? ? ? ?
are you on stock..
provide your phone details..
can't help you if no details are available..

random freeze is generally associated with incorrect bootloader unlock or incorrect root..
many tools which unlock bootloader change your base version..
and many tools which re_lock bootloader will keep the changed version..
I had same issue..
I found out correct version of my bootloader..
then made sure that my locked bootloader was back to correct version..
I had to unlock & lock my bootloader many times with many different tools to finally get to correct version..
hope you understand what I am trying to say..
hope this helps..

Currently I'm using AICP ROM, with bootloader unlocked by Unlock_relock program, it's freezing less now, much more less than in stock. How i can discover the correct base version of my phone? I've tried different methods to unlock my bootloader, but the freezing never stops. And even if I relock, in stock ROM still freezes. I'm facing this problem since the first version of official Lolllipop (3.23.40.52)

Where I can find dnx and ifwi for A501CG model to unlock bootloader without change version?

To fix this u need to download root lock and unlock tool.U then need to first run root.bat and unroot.bat...Your isuue will be then fixed hopefully

The only ROM that has no freeze issues on my phone is the Stock KitKat. Even with locked bootloader, stock Lollipop freezes every time...

Before doing all this u need to revert back to stock KK firmware or even stock lolipop.I recommend stock lollipop.For both u can find instructions here http://www.windroidica.in/2015/07/how-to-revert-back-to-stock.html?m=1.After doing the above mentioned procedure then u should run the root.bat(ur phone will reboot many times) and then unroot.bat(again ur phone will reboot many times).This fixes the issue mostly

Go to stock kitkat.Cause the root tool works best for that.After u have done that and fixed the freeze problem then u can update to stock lp firmware( need to update to bridge kk firmware first)

I will try that too. But in zip from AICP ROM there's no dnx or ifwi files. But it's a RR/CM based ROM, so I think the dnx and ifwi files from RR will work with that.

Try going back to firmware you were on out of the box. Remember to relock bootloader.. It will say secure image when u flash locked bootloader and kernel.. Then use any of devs unlocker here and flash again.

MiUI Firmware Files

Device: Kenzo
This firmware won't relock your bootloader
Both official & unofficial UBL able to use this firmware
Hello Guys,
After tried on several custom ROM -MM & N-, I realized that's we can use MiUI MM firmware on any custom ROM and those ROM will still worked like a charm.
Below firmware are the same firmware included at miui ROM, I just put the files without any changes. Just removed emmc_appsboot.mbn file to avoid relocked bootloader.
MiUI 6.11.3 firmware can be used for people which need efs backup from this firmware to be restored later on any custom ROM to gain volte feature without needed to flash full ROM using miflash.
MiUI 6.11.24 firmware, the same firmware provided at official CM14.1 thread. but, this one won't relock your bootloader.
Download:
MiUI 6.11.3 Firmware
MiUI 6.11.24 Firmware
I already tried both firmware on several custom ROM and everything work flawlessly on my phone.
Thanks.

new releases from 6.11.3 upwards dont contain emmc.appsboot.mbn, does that mean xiaomi made some changes with newer versions and wont relock BL any.ore if we already unlocked it?

Nice onw

no...miui rom still contain emmc_appsboot.mbn file which potentially relock your bootloader. the files thats i am provided, didn't contain this file to avoid relock bl.

I am thinking on to put on CM14 to my redmi note 3 pro kenzo 2GB.
it has been recommended to me:
-use normal XDA CM14, but then use RADON kernel.
questions: is this the best? is the firmware.zip still needed when using this?
another recommendation for me:
use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/miui-firmware-files-t3516487
because this will not re lock the phone?
what about this? is the radon kernel, and/or the Firmware.zip still needed for this?
unclear to me.
which is the BEST CM14 way for redmi note 3 pro kenzo 2gb?
thx

my best way in term of custom rom flashing
1. firmware 6.11.24, only need to flash once. no need to reflashing as long as you didn't flash any other firmware. even you flash other custom rom, your firmware will remain untouch.
2. any custom rom, either MM or N
3. gapps
4. mods, any mods need to installed on your phone (i.e. SU app, kernel, sound mod, etc)
hope this clear for you

How to known that firmware is installed or not cos I use firmware and dont use it still the device boots up properly. So, simplest question is what is the benefit of flashing miui firmwares before flashing main ROM?

[info] recent roms in the x501 model dont work

hi guys. im writing this, after a day saying in the recent roms threads, rr nougat, lineage nougat and aicp that none of this roms boot in the x501 model. no info about this has been wrote in the op to inform users about this. so if you have x501, dont flash this or, if you dont have a backup, you will have a soft bricked device.
cheers

What error are you getting? are you on latest TWRP (3.1.0) and MM bootloader?

Ive tried 3.1 and 3.03. They just get stuck in bootanimation. Im currently in lollipop eui. Do we need to flash a MM eui ROM first in order to get the bootloader? Por can o flash the bootloader separatedly?

If you have the original zip, from le.com, you can modify the updater-script in it to make it for x3, instead of x3_hk

I think you did something wrong in the process to get your phone bricked(I assume its a soft brick).

Hello!

After owning many devices, the time has come this one passes onto my hands, albeit a temporary device, I'll keep it as long as it's functional.
So hello everyone.
Gonna see how to unlock bootloader, flash twrp and most likely RR ROM.
If anyone has any recommendations for roms kernels bugs and anything else a new owner should be aware they'd be appreciated greatly.

R u dev?
So what ur device? Rn3 pro(Kenzo) or Rn3 pro SE(kate) ?
If u can unlock kenzo officially using miunlock tool. Then U r lucky.
But if u want to unlock bootloader unofficially then better do it on recent miui marshmallow rom. Dont do it on lollipop miui.
Latest oreo or pie custom rom need marshmallow miui9 or miui10 bootloader to boot roms. Lollipop miui bootloader cant boot latest custom rom.

I think U didnt do format data in twrp. Thats why ur some rom are not booting. There is option format data. Miui encrypts ur data and internal sd by default. So format data must do to decrypt it.
First format data is must do.
Then u do wipe data factory reset
Then flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot

Pretty nice, way better than I expected for the 70€ I paid!

Sound and display became better as well.

YU Yunique - Unable to boot ANY Oreo ROM! [Solved]

I went thru every single thread, i have the latest TWRP 3.2.1, so no Error 7.
The ROM's install (i've tried Unofficial/RR/PixelExperience/BootLeggers/Cosmic/AOSIP) and the install goes smooth, but all stuck on Bootloop!
What on earth am I doing wrong? I can't find anyone mentioning specific Kernel or where to get an OREO specific Kernel.
Is there a Boot.img ? do i need to flash it as well? (no one says so in instructions)
The last rom i've got is the Official 7.1.2 which boots without a problem.
Note: But only the 20171025 build, nothing after that even of 7.1.2 doesn't boot (just has bootloop)
Device Specs as Appear on the back: YU4711, H/W ver V2.0, S/W ver: V0.0.9_171215, (2+8) GB

It have some other files also including android 5... So flash this
And then flash twrp

Reflash the entire stock firmware *except system, userdata, recovery, cache* through fastboot, then you should be good to go.

I honestly don't see the logic in putting the phone back into Stock ROM of Android 5.1.1, when I can use it with 7.1.2 without a problem and only flashing of new ROM's is an issue.
But I have found something that may give more information, this is HW_V2 , so i'm assuming this device is the YU YUNIQUE 2 which is basically identical but with 2GB ram instead of 1GB ram.

You need to flash it using: fastboot flash modem non-hls.bin
Then reboot and flashing of the ROM should go correctly and for me atleast, it booted up.
