Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL) CM13 Stuck at Logo after First boot (powered by Android)

So I flashed cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J9-Z00T.zip and gapps nano. Booting time goes on for about 30 minutes before rebooting. Ended up restoring back to stock ROM. If it helps my bootloader is not unlocked yet I can flash custom recovery. Tried wiping data, cache, dalvik, system, asdf before flashing. Tried wiping cache and dalvik after flashing. Still stuck at ASUS logo ("powered by Android").
How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.
Other Info:
Android Version: 6.0.1 (Marshmallow)
Recovery: TWRP 3.0.2-4

1. Flash stock recovery
2. Sideload stock Rom

Upgrade recovery to TWRP 3.0.2-5 if you want to flash CM 13+ based ROMs and unlocked your bootloader if you can so you won't have any problems in the future.

Xiaomi Redmi 3S Lineage 28May Issue

Hello.
So i've flashed Lineage 28May Build and this automaticly encrypt my device ...
I've read on the internet that if the device is encrypted the flash process is a bit diferent.
I've read about wipe data cache dalvik and system
wipe data cache dalvik system and internal storage
And flash adb ...
So, now i tried to go to TWRP and it just apears Mi Logo!
Not booting into any recovery (Stock or TWRP)
I've installed Miui.eu and the recovery is ok
I flash Lineage and i can't boot into recovery anymore ...
What to do?
Issues :
1 - Can't boot into TWRP
2 - What process is to flash a new Lineage Rom? ( I want to decrypt my device to flash more easily)
I really need help ...
I don't know if my bootloader is unlocked or locked right now, because i flashed too many roms ...
Need help !

1)Try to reflash twrp from fastboot mode.(if you can't do this, then your bootloader is locked. And no matter how many roms you install, bootloader, once unlocked remains unlocked, untill you lock purposefully).
2)In twrp wipe cache, dalvik, and if necessary data for clean installation.
3) Once any custom ROM is installed, while in mi logo , you cannot directly boot to twrp. You have to go to fastboot and from there boot to twrp.
4) First install only ROM. Once it gets installed turn it on. Once it successfully turns on, then you can install gapps ( this is not always necessary to be followed)
5) formatting data completely will decrypt your device. Just goto format data and type "yes". You need not goto advanced wipe.

Bootloop to TWRP after installing LineageOS

Hello,
iam stuck in a Bootloop that goes straight back to twrp.
I got a refubirshed Mi 9 T with MIUI 11 and wanted to install LineageOS.
I unlocked my bootloader with the miflash_unlock tool (didnt had to wait).
Installed latest twrp (twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img)
Flashed twrp (fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img)
Wiped Dalvik, Cache, System, Vendor, Data
Installed LineageOS 17.1 and gapps nano
After that my Phone reboots straight into twrp and i dont know what to do or what i missed.
I set up a pattern so i guess my filesystem is encrypted but i dont know if it matters.
Does somebody know a solution?
Kind Regards

Solved it.
I had to wipe the /data/ Partition

please push format data (button), reboot in twrp and install lineage too
If that doesn't work, you can install vbmeta

Vendor Partition is missing in Wipe menu in TWRP

I flashed TWRP recovery I used last week, to install SparkOS and I do remember following a tutorial that said wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data, System and Vendor, which I did successfully and installed the custom rom. I didn't last much and reverted to Stock Rom.
Cut to yesterday I flashed the same recovery as last time, and when I went to wipe the partitions I didn't find Vendor. Checked Mount menu clicked on Vendor it didn't show up under Wipe.
Should I ignore this and continue with installing my custom rom after wiping (Dalvik, Cache, Data and system only) or this is a problem and I am not able to install any custom rom until I wipe Vendor Partition?

It may cause problem or maybe not. Try Orange Fox recovery or any other recovery which supports to wipe vendor data and then flash your Custom Rom correctly as in tutorial.

I followed it step by step, but I'm gonna try different versions and see if shows up. Otherwise I'll revert back to stock and hang my hat.

Updating the TWRP version from 3.3.1 to 3.6 fixed the problem. Thank you for the help.
