Bootloop after battery, lightning flex cable and camera replacement

Hey guys. So a couple of weeks ago I replace my phone’s lighting flex cable (because every time I plug it in, it was loose and most of the time won’t charge if not sit correctly), back camera (the camera can’t focus and shaking), and battery (just for the sake of it, feeling that the charge can’t last me a whole day anymore). It works well for a couple of days until suddenly it would restart quite frequently. At first, I thought it was bad battery because it would only occur when I am charging it or when the battery is low or high (>90+) but after a while, it just keeps restarting no matter what, so I replace the battery but the same thing keeps happening. Tried to disconnect the camera but it keeps happening. Could it be the flex cable? I manage to get a copy of panic report but I have no clue what it mean

Could anyone help me?

probably should mention this, the part I get was from some random local online store, most likely some cheap part from china, I try to get one from ifixit but I think they can’t ship it to Indonesia. If you have any recommendations for reputable stores that ship to Indonesia, please let me know.

I would certainly suspect a bad Lightning cable; see if you can get a good quality replacement part. As an aside, it sounds to me like your old Lightning port was simply suffering from excessive lint inside the port. The Lightning cable 8-pin connector should be sitting flush with the housing and completely inserted. If it is not, there could be lint/dust/debris inside the port impeding a proper connection. You can clean it out with a toothpick, fine point tweezers or a dental pick. Just be careful not to damage the pins inside the Lightning Port.

I was just thinking the same thing that there is probably junk built up in the lighting port. We see this all the time in our store. Probably at least a few times a week. Just a quick clean and it fixes the problem.

Ahh too bad I've replaced it with another one. Update on my phone. I've replaced the camera and lightning dock and the problem is still there. I've tried to calibrate the battery by letting it discharge completely (until the phone is dead and won't turn on anymore / flat battery indicator) and charge it without interruption to 100%. At first, the boot loop is gone, but after the battery drop under 90% it just kept on boot looping until the battery is at 10% then it's normal. Could this problem be caused by a bad battery? I've tried 2 so far, but both are cheap battery that I've found online. Too bad ifixit can't send one to my country. Any suggestion?
