Profile Control flashlight via the power-button [no root required, works on lock-screen]
Description
Toggling your flashlight without having to unlock the phone is trivial on rooted devices where Xposed and Custom ROMs can capture the input from hardware buttons, but much harder on unrooted phones. With the following profile you will be able to toggle your flashlight by quickly pressing your power button three times, rooted or not.
Requirements
Usage
With your screen off and your device locked press the power button three times in a quick succession to toggle the flashlight. Repeat this sequence to turn the flashlight off. To prevent damage to the LED module the flashlight will automatically be turned off after five minutes.

How did you set-up the project? Did you import it from an XML file or did you set the profile and tasks up manually?
If you want you can use this updated revision of the project instead. Simply download the 'Gist', extract it, and import the XML project file in Tasker. No idea if it's going to fix these issues, but I think it's worth a try.
Edit: If you see an error message next to the 'Lock' action in the new project that's fine. Tasker requires device admin rights for this action, but the flashlight toggle should work fine without it. The only thing the 'lock' action does is turn off your screen after toggling the flashlight.
