Lenovo A536 randomly rebooting - i think problem may be kernel -not sure - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My just about 3-4y phone.
It just randomly started rebooting like a week ago, like twice a day. Then it went progressively worse over time like it failed to boot on the first try it was rebooting 30 minutes until it actually succeeded booting to android. So then I decided to factory reset my phone but that didn't help either.
after that, I just tried to flash a new ROM AOSP extended 4.6 still based on kernel 3.1. I'm not really sure if using ROM with newer kernel will fix the issue because I don't think TWRP uses kernel and it doesn't reboot when using it
can it be because of that kernel or can it be something different?
PLZ help if anyone knows.

Clockworkmod suspected problems

Recently, I rooted my phone with unrevoked. At random times when turning on my Aria, at the Htc logo screen, my battery will vibrate multiple times before Cyanogen 7 android logo appears. I changed out my battery, unrooted then rooted again only to have this problem. I'm using the lasted Google gapps posted on XDA and don't think it's that. I tried stable and nightly r roms with no change. I believe it's possible that a bug in Unrevoked, Clockwork mod could be at fault. Again, this is at random times when turning on my phone. If anyone knows something are at times experienced this, please post it here.
I don't know what causes it exactly, maybe DT's apps2sd. But I have this too.

This is not a problem with Unrevoked or Clockwork. It means the ROM you have installed has something weird going on that causes it to restart a few times before booting normally. This has happened to me also when using CM7, but only after I had installed a different kernel. It never happened to me with the original default kernel, and it's also never happened with any other ROM (CM6 or any of the Sense ROMs).
Just curious, but can you tell us exactly which ROM you're using, and whether you installed a custom kernel on top of it?

I was using RC4, 7.0.3 and trying some of the latest nightly roms. This isn't my first Aria phone that I rooted. My first one didn't have this problem but I forgot which Google gapps version that was used at the time. If it were the gapps, the phone would go in a endless loop at the Cyanogen android boot screen but I'm having this multiple vibrate problem like it keeps rebooting at random on the HTC boot screen when turning on the phone. I changed out my battery for a new one which didn't fix it. At this moment, I unrooted and flashed the original stock rom and no problems are popping up. I believe it's a unknown bug in Clockwork.

Well, I suppose it could be. You might want to try formatting boot and system partitions before installing the ROM to see if that clears it up. We already know Clockwork doesn't clear the system partition properly when installing ROMs that use Edify scripts.

[Q] Frustrated at constantly having to reflash ROMs

Hello first of all I would like to thank all the great developers for the great ROMs out there.
Second I would like to warn everyone that this is a "first world problem rant" that I'm about to write up with a legit frustration I have.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 from ATT and the only reason I got this phone over any other Android phone is the great camera and the screen.
I absolutely hate TouchWiz. It's bloated, slow and painfully ugly (to me). For this reason I decided to try out Flashing roms.
For the last couple of weeks (months maybe?) I have been using Cyanogenmod 10.1 stable with not many problems. Mostly camera issues but no biggie.
My frustration is the following: CyanogenMod has had two stable updates for my phone to go from 10.1 to 10.2 and, though it flashes perfectly, every time I reboot the phone the phone gets stuck on the "Samsung Custom (lock)" screen and I am forced to go into TWRP and reflash 10.1+Gapp from my SD carfd.. This happens EVERY TIME. With CM10.1 I can restart the phone just fine by the way. It's 10.2 and other Roms that make get stuck on the Samsung Custom (lock) screen.
So i decided to try out Gummy ROM because Kit Kat
I put the ROM in my SD card, Formated, Wiped and Installed. Worked like a charm until the camera wasnt working that well. I read the forums and said to restart to fix the camera.. Guess what?...AGAIN....Stuck on Samsung Custom (lock) screen.
My frustrations is that pretty much EVERY Rom that I have tried minus CM10.1 has done this to me and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I have tried battery pulls, waiting 30 seconds, wiped dalvik, cache, etc. Fixed Permissions....everything and I have to reflash the ROMs almost 99% of the time unless I use CM10.1. I am tired of reading forums to fix this so here I am asking for your help.
NOTE: Most, if not all of these ROMs are designed for ATT.
/endrant
I have no idea what else to do so any help would be great.
INFO:
Current ROM: Gummy 1.1-11-21-13-UNOFFICIAL

I have no idea and I'm not about to restart phone and go through the pain of reflashing the ROM again as I just did. I will punch so many babies if I have to do this again!'
Thanks for listening.
I had the same problem and switched to Philz Touch instead of TWRP, I like TWRP a lot more and most people say its more stable, but that's what fixed it for me.

I have read, on CM's site somewhere I believe, they recommend using CWM for a recovery. I use 6.0.4.4 and have no issues with getting stuck at the boot logo. There was an issue with that but CM addressed it in one of the nightlies about two weeks ago.
I had that issue when I had a newer twrp recovery I have the .2 whatever one and I havnt had it since.

[Q] bootloop after flashing to stock

had been trying roms for months now, and 2 weeks ago just starting bootlooping. was running carbon rom when the bootloop started. changed to padawan v2, bootloop went away for a few days and then came back. thought it was power button but when im in cwm it doesnt bootloop.
even all my backups they bootloop. today i went back to stock and using odin and reboots after the att logo.
is my phone done for? thanks
Try an emergency recovery with kies.
fixed it!
i would try it but keeps rebooting. would reboot within 1 minute.
so it turns out it was my radio, even the one in the stock rom would be no good.
i had to flash padawan twice so i would reboot much less frequent, i know why but it worked. then i downloaded a different radio version and seems to be working great. no more reboots after a few days, and i still get 4g on simple mobile.
i dont know how the radio was messing with the reboot but good thing it stopped, was about to give up on my phone.

Hi, I wanted to know what radio version you flashed, because I'm getting the exact same error but none of the radios works for me, I'm also using padawan because of what you said.

Problems with custom roms

Can somebody help me? I used the CM for a long time, but less than a month when I was with the CyanogenMod, the phone restarted and did not turn on anyway (something like a bootloop, but the darkened screen as if you were about to turn on, then lit again).
I tried to reinstall CM, but always after a short time of use, it restarts, and bootloop again.
I reinstalled the stock, but the frustration and willingness to use CM was so big that I tried to install again. Result: bootloop.
Anyway, I'm using the stock rom for a while, but still want to use CM.
Does anyone have any idea what could have happened? (All Xposed modules and mods that put into CM are the same I'm using now, but the stock has no problems)
This happened with RR rom too.
Sorry for this long text and my bad english
I want suggest you to wipe all thing system and data , cash/dalvik, (after backup) and then try to flash the ROM and just try another ROM instead CM and RR

But I've never had this problem before!

Poco F1 in a dead end after hours of trial and errors.

As tittle says, I have been in XDA for a while, never created an account cause I have always encountered responses to all my problems there. But not this time. I have created an account just to ask you people if someone knows (or had) this problem.
I have been getting touchscreen problems since a while (I dont know if it was caused by a custom kernel I changed months ago, or by touchscreen needing a replacement). Then the problem with WebView happend, but after trying to fix it by OTA, reinstalling WebView, clearing cache of google apps and few other things, apps kept closing randomly, and with the touchscreen failing, it was a real pain, so I downloaded a few roms and saved all my data, then went to TWRP. I updated it to 3.5.2_10-0-beryllium before anything, and flashed vendor, firmware and ROM GLOBAL_V12.0.3.0.QEJMIXM_cf3fccffce_10.0. Here begins the brick. I cannot pass the first boot, in any of the roms I tried. In MIUI, the logo of starting stay indefinitly (not the poco one, the MIUI one). I tried pa-quartz-5-beryllium-20200924, also stays infinitly in the green ball logo moving. After that, I tried lineage-18.1-20210410-nightly-beryllium-signed, with the same result, Infinite starting moving blue logo (more than 8h and still didnt boot). I tried clean installs and dirty installs. The worst part is that my PC only recognizes my F1 on recovery, Fastboot don't seems to be working (I was going to try flashing via fastboot). And here I am, after 6h of trying different installs, flashing the Disable Force Encryptation, flashing stock firmware and stock rom, stock firmware and custom roms, flashing vendor, not flashing vendor, etc... Im sick.
Thanks in advance to anyone who try to help me.
EDIT: I missed that i was having random reboots too, not only touchscreen fails.

Check my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides. Try to Clean Install Pixel Experience for example, according my guide (u need to format data also). Let me know how it goes.
Tried Android 10 and 11 Pixel Experience, tried with stock and NG Kernels. Still stays forever in the first load of the SO.
Just got the properties file from XiaomiADBFastbootTools. Maybe someone can see something wrong on it.
