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

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.

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..

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

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.

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

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.
