Infinite Loop every day - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Gentlemen, I'm in need of help. My zenfone 2 went into infinite boot and I did hard reset and reinstallation of the rom stock, and it worked perfectly. The problem is that the phone does not stop for an infinite loop, and I am forced to perform this procedure every day, most often more than once a day. I already installed rom stock and other roms, with no solution of the problem. I suppose there is something wrong with the phone hardware to be happening, but I can not figure out what it is.
One note to note is that after the onset of these problems, the cell phone no longer vibrates.
Could anyone help?

[Q] Jellybomb start up problems

The problem only happens when I reboot or turn on the phone. When it boots up, I get multiple results. A: It boots up normally (not a problem) B: When it gets to the samsung screen, it freaks out and reboots itself again and again. It's like it's struggling to boot up. One time it got to the gs 3, but then it looped back. C: This just happened today. I booted up and it went pass the samsung screen but when it got to the gs 3 screen, the screen turned a faint pink and it stayed on that screen.
This just happened right after version 8. I know 10 was messed up but on 9 and 11, this problem persisted. Also,I don't think the issue is the phone, since I don't have this problem on other Roms. If I'm wrong please let me know .
Any suggestions, advice, help, etc is welcomed.
Please... i really need help.
I suggest you start over, this will remove any corruption and gremlins you have klinging to your phone..

I unrooted, went back to stock, it did a factory reset so no bugs should have been alive. I re-rooted, made a backup, did a factory reset and wiped dalvik, then I flashed the rom zip and rebooted. It gets stuck on the Gs III screen. I waited like 5 minutes and it didn't move. My battery was at 50% so I just put it on the charger and tried to boot up and it went through to the set up screen for gmail.Just to see if it was coincedental, I did another reboot but this time it got stuck again. It sounds like a system problem but i'm not sure.Like i said earlier, this only happens on Jellybomb.
Any other ideas?
Edit: I've tried switching recoveries but it doesn't fix it.
Sigh.

[Q] Phone Keeps Crashing/Restarting (on any ROM I've tried)

So there's some issue with my phone, it started with an issue where my phone would crash, restart, and then go into a booting loop (the samsung logo part). Well after a few retries of installing that rom again (phantom blazer), after that very version of the rom had worked without an issue for 4 months, the crash/boot loop happened again. After this instance, reinstalling the same ROM would not get me into the android OS.
So I moved on to a new rom (paranoid android), which worked for a little while, and then had the exact same issue. After two times in a month of the same crash/boot loop, I moved on to a new rom (wicked sensations). So here I am now with the same issue, but it seems to have gotten worse. Now the crashes happen more often, randomly while in my pocket, and often when trying to place/answer a call, but the frequent crashes are without the boot loop and need to reinstall a rom.
I follow the installation instructions for each rom to the T, all the wiping of dalviks and cache, but the same **** keeps happening. Does this sound like a hardware error in my phone?? Should I return to a stock rom and see if my issue keeps happening? I'm in a rage at this point . Please halp.
I would try this link-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099. And like you said, see if problems continues. I think any ROM can and will reboot at some point, are you updating your ROMs as developers update them?

Have you considered your experiencing the 'sudden death syndrome' you may have a faulty power button it's a known issue with the S3. Sprint does repair or exchange the phone for this. It's exactly what you described it powers off and on. It can power up until the splash screen and it powers right down. It just so happens that you start playing with the power button when trying to go into recovery to flash another rom or what not and it clears the issue for a while. Until it sticks again. Just something to consider you can search it here under exactly what I called it 'sudden death syndrome'

[Q] Phone stuck in a degrading boot loop

I have been an XDA lurker for years and have never had a need to post since everyone on here is so great about solving issues as they emerge. Anyway I have searched high and low for any answers to my problem with no success. My phone was rooted running a kit kat rom (Dirty Unicorns) when this issue occurred. A couple days ago I sent a mms and noticed my data was off so I turned it on via the power menu and my phone rebooted. Now this is something I have encountered with certain custom roms so I thought nothing of it. The phone went through the reboot process but then it rebooted again after about 3 minutes of normal operation. Since then the time to reboot has gotten worse until now it wont go past the Samsung boot screen. I have tried nandroid restores, cache/data wipes, and finally pushing stock roms via ODIN. None of these change the reboot behavior. Finally, as if everything else wasn't enough, I can no longer flash roms via any custom recovery. This to was something that also degraded over time. At first I was able to flash .zip files for the first few hours but eventually that to would also send my phone into a bootloop. I am clueless what to try next. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 T889 to Android 6.0.1 Resurrection Remix Boot Loop

i followed this guide
teamandroid.com/2016/03/08/update-tmobile-galaxy-note-2-t889-android-601-resurrection-remix-marshmallow-custom-rom/2/
and it worked perfectly until yesterday
the other day i looked at my phone and it formatted and restarted on its own. i didnt really lose much.
so i accepted it and reset up all my apps and such, and then when my phone died and i charged it
it got stuck in boot loop forever
i tried wiping both cache and reboot recovery it skips boot loop long enough to load up but as soon as i see my homescreen for a second it boot loops again.
so then i tried completely formatting the phone over which worked until this morning when i woke up my phone was dead. swapped batteries and turned it on. booom boot loop again.
is there any advice on what i should do?
im able to format it and get it working again if something needs installed etc
but i want to stop this from happening again
Q: is it possible that a certain app i downloaded is forcing the boot loop? i dont see why it would because ive had all the same apps for months and it just happened out of no where.
i appreciate any help, id just like to know why in the world its happening, and what the best course of action would be
im thinking maybe restore it back to factory firmware and unrooting and starting the process all over again
i seen something for 7.1 would that be better?

LG G3 D855 blackscreen right after booting logo

Okay, so i have an LG G3 D855, few months ago it worked like a charm.. But then shortly after i started noticing random reboots everytime during using apps. Then it went in bootloop. I tried to turn it on again, entered recovery screen, choosed factory reset and it did, but then it went through the same process, random restart. Eventually stuck up in factory resetting screen. However i think i made mistake when the phone freezed in reset screen : pulling out the battery. later it lost its IMEI & kept heating up (probably tried to find its cellular framework of some sort).
Days passed, several factory resets has been done. Now the phone's at its worst state. It refused to get past the boot logo. everytime it finishes booting, the display just goes black, tried to plug usb charger, chargin indicator doesn't want to turn on, neither after i pulled out the battery. I have to leave it a few days to get it working again, but it keeps persisting.
Addition : The phone's also feels warm post the blackscreen.
Any thoughts whether can this be fixed or i have to replace something inside the phone's board?
thanks in advance.

Reflash with lgup.
Remove the SIM card and the memory card. try again. Full wipe system data ...
I've had the same problem. I've tried. Worked
found the problem. memory card
EDIT: Some kind of voodoo happened right now! I was about to unbrick again and wanted to give the phone a try to boot before. And it did! So no problem at the moment, but still a strong feeling of uncertainty...
EDIT: Phone is still randomly rebooting and gets stuck in bootloops

Hej guys, I really need your advice,
but first things first: Thank you very much for all of your wonderful work on custom roms and further support of older devices. I've been reading here for a few years now and was more or less happy to have up-to-date-roms for some of my phones.
Now I'm facing quite the same problem like OP did / does. Everything started with me, following this guide to root my D855 (coming from stock rom) and flash TWRP: you tube.com/watch?v=8VOgM3jLas4 (Note: The guide told me to flash "3__HacerPermisivo.zip" for updating the kernel, which I did.)
Next, I flashed a newer version of TWRP ("twrp-3.2.3-0-d855.img") than the one provided in "2__AutoRecMMD855.apk" by the guide above. I wiped dalvik and cache and after that, I flashed "lineage-15.1-20190410-nightly-d855-signed.zip", wiped dalvik and cache again and flashed "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190411.zip". I wiped dalvik and cache again and told TWRP to reboot.
Here is, where problems began to occur. The phone got into a bootloop, showing up the LG splash screen again and again instead of booting into LOS correctly and set it up. At some point I decided to remove the battery. When I did, at the same time LOS was just going to load, which I saw because of its beginning boot animation. So I screwed it up right at the wrong moment, I guess.
From here, the phone bootlooped every time, I wanted it to start. No battery acrobatics helped and on top I couldn't get it into recovery mode. Any attempts ended in bootloops. I think, this might be what is called a brick / to brick your device, isn't it? I found this guide to unbrick a D855 and followed its steps: open -freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
Believe me, it was a real pain in the ass! Because of me, messing up something or the phone getting stuck into a bootloop during the unbrick process, I had to do it 4 to 5 times until success... I have to say: I didn't follow the last steps beginning from "Root". Instead, I followed the guide from the beginning of my post.
Finally, I got "lineage-15.1-20190410-nightly-d855-signed.zip" and "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190411.zip" to run. I set it up and began to load some of my apps of my Play Store collection. While downloading, the phone froze, crashed and began to bootloop, from here unable to boot normally or to get into recovery mode. So I unbricked and flashed again (again several times because of bootloops before LOS first set up). When I got it to work again, I was able to install my apps without being trolled by the phone again. But scrolling through the eBay app froze the phone and it began bootlooping again...
You can believe me, I was about to throw the D855 against the hardest piece of wall, I could possibly find in my rage. The reason why I didn't give up at this point is, that I LOS-rommed two other D855s just a few days before. Those were my mom's and my girlfriend's and they work fine until today. I bought this third one for myself, because I was impressed, how good LOS worked on the D855s. On top I wanted to get rid of my Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9515), because LOS kinda sucks on it, but this is another story...
So I figuered that the earlier LOS version I used for the women's phones, could solve the problem. So I unbricked again and flashed "lineage-15.1-20190327-nightly-d855-signed.zip" and "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190329.zip". And hell yeah, that did work! No bootloops, eBay worked fine, just everything was as I loved it on the other phones, I flashed. Until tonight. I've been lucky for almost two days, but tonight this happened: I plotted a route in Google Maps and saved it as a shortcut on my homescreen. I closed Maps and tapped the route icon. Freeze - crash - bootloop - no recovery mode! I wanted to start crying, because Maps has already worked fine yesterday. And it still does on the other two phones, which run exactly the same rom...
So now, I'm sitting here, not knowing what can be done further. I'm not a programmer / developper or any of those cracks providing us the newest software for old phones. So I just can do wild guesses. Maybe the moment I removed the battery the very first time after flashing messed something up very deep inside the phones internals and it can not be cured any more. Maybe some of you guys have experienced similar things and know a tweak or a simple step, I forgot. Anyway, I hope I can use my phone on LOS some day which I bought especially for this case.
Keep up the great work, folks!

I ordered a new mainboard. It should arrive within 3 weeks. I'll keep you updated.
