Beacuse 4.4 have official unlock, so you will not have freeze on 4.4, but on 5.1 and 6.0 propably yes...

But even after unlocking bootloader using official unlock app in android Kitkat .54, my zenfone 5 freezes!!

Its not the case the only difference between official nd unofficial is that official one sends the serial number and unofficial don't .
Freezing may be experienced in both . Due to wrong unlocking files .

recently i thought it's all about kernel panic problem, but neither i cannot get log of it, nor i cannot guess what triggers on the kernel code.
you may ask why it occurs on just specific series, because asus used different specific hardware on phones but using common drivers for all of them. so something triggers a kernel panic/fault.
and you may ask how can i think about it: a friend said his phone installs with red wallpaper, but mine is mountains on same version (and yes, devices are same, a501cg/s) so this made me think about hardware based differencies.
edit: another thing is i could use rr's old version for 20 hours-like and i am now using du, it freezes more frequent.

actually what we think like so; but still we couldn't find out official unlock makes things different or not. for example if we need to basically explain, it can change ifwi file without using fastboot. even you cannot do it in twrp, because ifwi file's location is on sysfs.
when we try to decompile it, in codes, it makes something magical like it moves mmcblk03 to mmcblk04 or so then it restarts; when we checked these blocks these blocks redirecting to normal folders like /factory or something else i don't remember now.

Ok thank you for the valuable information . Hope one day u succeed and other users may be thankful to you .

you propably didnt understand, on kitkat (android 4.4) you will not have freezing IF you will use official unlock or unofficial with RIGHT ifwi, but on Lollipop and Marsmmalow you will get freeze, ( beacuse you cant use ifwi from kitkat on LL and MM, and this is why asus didnt release official unlock..)

btw: i dindt try make ofifcial unlock on 4.4. and than flash MM..

you must do something wrong..

 

[ajiapriyadin]

So @ozank did the freeze gone? And what does it mean set chmod 0644 in twrp?

Ada kontak line?Mau nanya dong ttg zenfone 5 sama2 dr cirebon juga..

Zenfone 5 - resolvido

Sou do Brasil, efetuei esse processo pela opção 3.87 e estou usando a Custom Rom Mokee já estou a cerca de 11 horas sem nenhum congelamento, antes de fazer este procedimento atual da XDA meu Zenfone 5 8GB ele congelava umas 20 vezes por dia. Todos os créditos devem ser dados a vocês pelo excelente trabalho só tenho a agradecer.

Hello folks!

I think i made it to unlock bootloader without any freezes.
This unlocker provides 6 different method to try.
If none of these work, there's nothing I can do more, sorry (for now...).

There's a latest beta script. I don't know it will freeze or not, go and test it.

First of all I am not responsible if it bricks your device and becomes unusable, so try if you want.

===AUTOMATED QUICK SCRIPT===
I made an automated flasher. Here's a quick explaination:
1 for my freeze patch.
2 for relock bootloader.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6AxuGkWld1yYU5zNGR0SzQ2OXc
It will give you a better result but not the real fix.
==============================

===MY CONFIGURATION'S SCRIPT===
Quick explaination:
1 for unlock bootloader
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6AxuGkWld1yMUhpWWd5TWN0ZFk
This is the LATEST testing version.
Probably it won't work. Use Automated Quick.
=============================

==========KERNEL==========
Latest version number: 16.05

===========================

Important Notes:

• Thanks all the XDA Zenfone 5 Community and the friends that I've been talking about.
• Disable dt2w for the reboots and I recommend using the latest Resurrection Remix by @tank0412, CM is a bit old; so that might do reboots.
• Fastboot Archive (WIP): https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6AxuGkWld1yYVdFZTFLckhaUDQ&usp=drive_web
• Ifwi Archive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6AxuGkWld1yWHV5Rm0yZUd4Q1U
• When trying a new fastboot; for the best results you should wipe cache and dalvik cache.
• If anyone bricked the phone when doing this, check the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/help/zenfone-5-a500cg-zenfone-6-a600cg-t3354645 (Credits to @swiczak )
  @kanodiatushar tested and it worked. Thanks.
• I searched about camera bugs and when i disable one core of my cpu, camera is not launching (I normally have camera on unlocked bootloader). So, about camera: Some cpu based bug on some devices makes camera bug on custom roms. Make sure you have four of four cores active and available.
• Please give a credit to http://ozankaraali.com when sharing if it worked as i did to other users.
• As I said, this is experimental and may or may not be working, even maybe it can brick your device and I need feedbacks negative or positive.

My zf5's screen got froze in locked bootloader also while using xender, an app which uses wifi for file transfer; particularly when it turns on hotspot and files are transferred and cpu governor to ondemand. If I change the governor to interactive then there is no screen freezes.

Please write English in this thread, thanks. I don't know these languages and I cannot help you.
And please do not quote op, you can just mention me instead.

then use interactive as your best bet. this method is not fully working, we are trying to only get comfortable results.

i dont know whats the issue but definitely its not bootloader fault ,its kernel fault i think so , i too have experienced this issue .please report the bug to the developer ,this aint the right place . thank you

Zenfone 5 - solved
I'm from Brazil , efetuei This Process For Option 3.87 and I'm using a custom ROM Mokee I'm already about 11 hours without freezing No , before this XDA of Current Procedure my Zenfone 5 8GB IT UMAs froze 20 times a day . Of All Claims Must Be Given a YOU for the excellent work I have only to thank .

 

[expertboy]

Hey there . I have used your patch tool. Tried its all 6 options. But it freezes in all 6 options. Someone please let us know so we can continue custom ROMs in unlocked bootloader.

 

[cnswico]

This is weird. I'm using tank0412's RR ROM (July 6 release). By disabling cores 3 and 4 in Kernel Adiutor, my phone has not frozen for at least 24 hours. The problem with this is that you lose half of your CPU power and the camera becomes unusable.

 

[G-eazy]

itry to unlock may bootloader using this method but my camera is broked my zenfone 5 model number is TOOJ-D can you fix it ?
