[Zenfone 5] Is there no saving this phone?? - General Questions and Answers

The bootloader, when unlocked, causes my phone to freeze like crazy. I've tried so many different tools to get to the right one, but it never seems to be working right. There are a lot of custom roms but I can't use them thanks to this problem. Could someone try and suggest which tool I should use based on the device info I have on my phone?
It's a black Zenfone 5 a501cg. I bought it around May/June, 2015. It came with a Kitkat firmware, not sure which. What else.... a WW SKU.
Any help would be appreciated. Also, if there are any who faced this problem and got it solved, help me out here.

[Q] No service or just for a seconds :(

Hey guys Ima need your help here:
Yesterday I was updating my Samsung Omnia 7, it has Mango installed but SFR-FR made a new OEM update available with improved firmware and bootloader. So I changed my carrier from 000-88 to SFR-FR, and started updating. From here everything went wrong: error codes floating around, workarounds wouldn't work either, so I thought: let's take a fresh start.
I flashed a UK retail rom (pre-NoDo or something), updated my device to Mango, did the same as I did above and now I was able to install the update successfully. But since everything went wrong, I am stuck with one problem: I have no service, or just service for a few seconds.
With my SIM card is nothing wrong, tried it out in other devices. So I guess it has to do with those updates: maybe one screwed up my firmware a bit? I have no clue. It probably doesn't have anything to do with the hardware, I didn't drop the phone or anything else.
I hope you guys have any idea to see what causes this problem, maybe I can do some tests from the Diagnosis app? Maybe there is a registery value that I need to check? Help is really appreciated

[Q] Gsm Unlock?

I bought an HTC one M8 verizon, because I read it was unlocked and it was at a great price. Unfortunately it wasnt unlocked. I've tried installing android revolution 8.0 onto it to make it the international version, but it never works, system keeps force closing. I was wondering if anyone is having the same problem or can help out. I do have the phone permanently rooted via a"stock" rom, S-off'd, Bootloader Unlocked via HTC dev, and SuperCID on. I've looked all over and can't find a thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

I've tried every variant of AR 8.0, and I even tried AR 8.1, could it be the stock firmwire im coming from?
I try the variants and all I get is systemui shutdown and smartcardservices shutdown, ANY help would be greatly appreciated...
Should I try finding an older version of AR?:fingers-crossed::crying:

Help please. Update rooted flex2 with old software vers

My Flex2 is LS996ZV4, i bought it in Cuba. It never got any OTA update since i rooted it very early and the software update notification didnt showed up there. Im living now in Peru and the notification does show up (by the way it can be seen in the screenshot), but... the update does not work because the phone is rooted and i find no way to unroot it due to its old software version(V4). Im in some kind of a loophole here
In the mean time, my phone overheat and lags like crazy! And i've been using it like this for almost a year now...
I asked this before, and i got no response, guess is not something easy to do.
Thanks in advance. Any tips will be higly appreciated.
Do some search in the forum and you will find similar threads about this issue for H950 or other variants check if it applies to your model or try it on your own if it works good then you are fine if it doesnt you will have to wait for professional support by other members who have exp with this device
Thanks for the tip @yeyoo. Im starting to believe there is no solution at hand...
I have searched... and almost every advice i read implies going back flashing the stock image and unrooting. But i cant do It because i cant find an image of this old software vers.(v4) to download.
I think you dont need the same version you have you can flash higher version kdz easily and it will remove root automaticly or you can try to update through lg mobile support tool on a pc

Problems with flashing baseband, and wrong hardware info? Please help...

Hello!
I have a Redmi Note 6 Pro, which i wanted to update to the latest baseband version (To be able to update Havoc Rom to the latest version, as well).
When i flashed latest version for my phone from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com, the screen started flashing, and touch detection was way off. I solved this by downgrading to an earlier baseband version, but i still want to update it, what can i do?
Another problem (or rather weird occurance) i found while looking into this, is that the "Model and Hardware"-section of my settings show my phone as a "Redmi Note 5". The weird thing is that i do 100% have a Note 6 Pro, i was worried for a while that i had misunderstood what kind of phone i bought, but after checking out both of them on Google images, i am sure What can lead to the phone showing the wrong hardware version like that?
I was thinking that these two things were related somehow (that i flashed the baseband for the wrong type of phone) but i am running an older version of the baseband for Note 6 Pro Tulip right now, and that works like a charm, so it's not that.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide, i really just want to upgrade my baseband & rom!
