=====================
= FREEZED SCREEN ISSUE =
=====================​

WARNING
Do not use Automatic Tool more than once for each kernel (boot image).
If you did that by accident and device can not boot. Just reflash original kernel then use the tool again.

HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WITHOUT FREEZED SCREEN?
- Unlock Bootloader Tool (2 recommended options: 1-1-5 or 1-5-5)
- Root your device.
- Enable USB Debugging.
- Extract and run this tool (Download) - READ INSTRUCTION WHEN TOOL IS RUNNING.
- From your device, using any File Explorer to copy cmdline file from /sdcard to /d/osip
- Reboot device.

CHECK IF TWEAK IS APPLIED OR NOT
- Use any File Explorer to get into root folder
- Check if value in /proc/cmdline has "... intel_idle.max_cstate ..."

READ THIS OR I WILL NOT CARE WHATEVER YOU COMMENT HERE
- Who used my tool and get thing fixed, help the others if you can.
- If you tried all options of unlocking bootloader and applied tweak but your devices still get freezed and automaticly reboot, get last_kmsg by using Kernel Auditor (right after reboot) then post in the comment section.
- Just like above but if it's freezed without reboot then I'm sorry that I can't do anything for now.



OPTIONAL
- TWRP-3.0-B-5.0 flashable zip with tweak applied. Freezing is not occured much on TWRP but I still make this one for personal and for people wanna get rid of freezing when flashing something in TWRP. (Download)
Thanks to @X AnwarMov

- TWRP-3.1.1-0 fastboot image with tweak applied. (Download)

You mean "unlock" by unofficial tool or asus's app? If it's unofficial tool does not cause any problem in kitkat base but not lollipop then I need to talk to that "guy"

Im sure for 99% unofficial unlock doesnt couse freezing on 4.4, i used official only one time, but unofficial is just flashing ifwi and dnx from officiall firmware.

The fact is that if unofficial unlock doesn't cause freezing on 4.4 then it won't cause freezing on any base.
And the official one, pretty the same except that it can detect your unsupported devices if you're using later kitkat rom.

For example, If anyone buy a new device with 2.20.40.13 manufactured rom, official tool will tell you exactly that your device is supported or not. But if you downgrade to any rom earlier than that then it won't, because it just simply can not realize your new device with new mainboard and stuff inside.

But why on 4.4 it doesnt freez, and on 5.0 up it does?

Which tool did you use? How long do you use kitkat to ensure that it won't freeze?

 

[kihope12]

I used both, official at first time then I used unofficial beacuse official doesnt works at .44, kitkat i use very long timw ago. Or only for while when i reflashing whole system.

My bad then, I forgot to mention fastboot of later base than 2.21.40.44 does not allow flasing ifwi so official tool's not supposed to work proberly.
And about your case that it's just freezed in 5.0 instead of kitkat, it's hard to say but it could be caused of 2 reason:
- not compatitive bootloader (dnx) version. Because after all if.bin file and also official tool are made for kitkat but not lollipop.
- if frequency of freezing is low, then it could be something else that I can not say for sure without logs.

Conclusion: Can unlock bootloader or not, it's based on the result we got from kitkat rom. That's why I do not mention 5.0 here.

thanks to you im so happy u made this thread..
anyway i had some question...
we know that disabling 2 cpu core will fix this freeze issue..but with a cost of performance and broken camera
and... "sometimes" if i play a game especially the heavy one,ex:vainglory... the freeze is gone
i wobder why that things can prevent the phone to freeze??

I think it is first problem what you mentioned, anyway why asus didnt make if.bin for 5.0 it is impossiblle or it is beacuse they are lazy as moct of time?

Disable 2 cores won't fix freeze issue but just decrease frequency of it. You don't need to throw away performance and camera for that.
And yes, some game will not cause freeze when you play. If I'm not wrong, how your figure touch the screen in game could be the reason. For clearly, it won't be freezed or least freeze when you play a game that one or more than one figure touch the screen continuously when playing.

VainGlory is an Moba game which is perhaps required 1 figure touching continously to move characters right?

They are not paid for doing that

Hello there , saw about kernel panic . I too experience sometime reboot due to kernel panic . Then i disable kernel panic and everything is fine for me. You got any idea to fix ? And i am totally confident its bug in kernel not in bootloader

It depends on last_kmsg you get after panic. There are quite a lot reason for kernel panic that I can not say for sure.
