Okay, my brother let me have his X1 unti I got a new phone recently he bought the Nokia N8.
The letters I, T, and M do not work on the qwerty keyboard part. For some reason, I think its the rom or something.
Also the volume key doesn't work either. I can't go to that bootloader mode for this phone. I'm really stuck because I want to flash to Firestorm's new rom. But the one its on now has HTC Sense or something like that. Please Help.

The keyboard gets dirty, it's quite common, search for threads that explain how to take the keyboard apart & clean it.
Yes, I think the volume down button is key for flashing - maybe it's just dirty too?

if you can get it connected via activesync to the pc then you can put it into bootloader using the thing supplied with someroms

Can a bad flash mess up the keyboard in a way that you have to press a key 4 5 times to get the letter to type or long press it a little hard? I bought this tilt used but looks like new and i didnt really test the keyboard before i flashed a custom rom. So i dont know if it is a flash or hardware problem.
Thanks for any help
I can't think of any reason why a bad flash would mess up the KB that badly. if anything, flashing a custom ROM would mix up the symbols that are available after the FN key is pressed
thanks
I thought that too. I have had to use the keyboard fix on other flashes cause of the fn keys. I just didnt want to take it a part lol.
But figured i would have too.
Thanks
My keyboard randomly will require me to hit a button like 8 or 9 times then finally realise im pressing it. Im pretty unhappy about this because I send text messages and people cant tell when im drunk or not!
Dirty keyboard is dirty

Now thats funny. I get the same remarks with my texts, but the button thing is hit or miss.
varies on different roms, but this does happen, some roms the hard keyboard doesn't work properly on, myself and MANY others have noticed this.
Well about7 or so keys i have to push real hard and they work. i did flash 2 other roms and still the same thing so gona replace the keyboard and see.
From what I understand, the SPL you're using can make a huge difference with keyboard responsiveness/speed. Maybe a different SPL would improve your keyboard issues.

Ok will try to flash another SPL again this weekend lol.. Need a break from flasing and reinstalling everything did it 3 times in 2 days. Thanks for the info
Hey guys, i looked all over for an answer before posting this here , but no luck.
This is what´s happening, i have a kaiser tytn II which i had problems, was going extremely slow, i removed some apps that i had installed including tomtom and same thing, so i thought about the soft/hard reset, i did it, and now......its crazy, i can´t use the touch screen, example : i want to enter my pin code and when i press number 6, it only presses number 2. its like the whole thing is messed up and the theme is really ugly, grey color . I thought maybe i could install a new firmware with a nicer looking and might solve the issue, but i don´t know where to get it and how to install it. Could someone help me how on some tips please ?
Thank you so much in advance

Maybe if you start sharing what rom are U using My advice is that you definitely should flash another rom or reflash your stock rom to solve the issues you are experiencing. Please read the sticky of how to do it
you can reset it to factory settings (the ROM you last flashed that is) by this method:
press and hold the two upper hardware keys next to your call end and call button. While pressing and holding them do a soft reset. A white screen with blue text should come up. Press the green call button and wait for it to reach the screen after the percentage screen. Then press the green call button again and it will be like it first was out of the box (or when you flashed a ROM).
Kaiser tytn II
The soft reset that exactly what i did and that´s what screwed up my kaiser , i am going to re-flash it , i will look on how to do it and will have a try.
ok, one slight problem, i have a macbook all i find is for pc

You'll either have to create a partition and install windows on it or flash via sd card. Link here to get you started:

thank you so much, i will try it this evening from my pc hope it fixes the issue. Will let you know
hey i just bought a x1 and it has a keyboard issue.. when i slide it open the screen doesn't rotate and it kinda freezes, whatever buttons i push doesn't do anything. once i slide it closed everything i pushed happens.. it originally had the pure upgrade wm6.5 rom on it when i bought it. i tried installing different roms - barebones,stock rom,826x and none has fixed the keyboard issue. what can i do?
Nothing I guess, except trying another rom; every device (other than xperia) has some problems with some roms. I heard Energy is the best you can get.
hey thanks for your response. ill try installing this energy rom and hope it can fix it
ur flexible cable wasted..go get it replaced at service centre.
Ho I'm sorry, I thought you said none other rom had this problem, misread...
Will this be a free repair from Sony or about how much should I be looking to spend $
if your under warranty then of course its free!
also make sure you flash a stock rom, then flash the stock-SPL back, otherwise they won't fix it.
in indonesia about US$50-$75
ok sounds good. i think i flashed it back to stock and stock spl is there a way to make sure?
go into the tri colour bootloader screen
and it shouldnt say OliNex anymore
and it should say 0.72.0000
and obviously the stock rom is easy enough to recognise

how would i go about fixing this myself? if i open it up and change the keyboard membrane with this do you think this would fix the problem? http://cgi.ebay.com/SONY-ERICSSON-X...MEMBRANE-PCB-/120574544261?pt=PDA_Accessories
hello guys, i have problem with my keyboard too. but its something else.
when i am typing a sms, a lot of letters appear twice or more in screen or letter appear slowly. in any other application, like notes, or work, keyboard is fine. any ideas for it?
i am having the same problem, i have tried 3 different roms
none of them rotate properly.
its not the device because it was working fine with android and wm 6.1
Hi guys,
today I (again) used Task29 because the phone behaved strange (didn't find certain files anymore....again).
But this time its quite different. After finishing Task29 I wanted to enter the bootloader to flash the rom from my sd-card (\kovsimg.nbh)....but it won't start holding vol-down + power!!!
It does start normally, but hangs (due to no rom) at sony ericsson logo.
I can do hard reset, but as no rom is on the internal mem, it doesn't have any effect.
I need the bootloader, but it simply doesn't react on the key combo!
Has somebody got any idea?
I mean, it can't be bricked as everything else works like it should, right??
I have OliNex 0.72 since last couple of rom-flashes (~6). Been doing this for a while now....but each time successfully.
Please give me some feedback!
Thank you!
greets,

the problem maybe on your Volume down hardware botton... try to reassamble the x1 and try to change the volume down hardware.. but you must have skill to soldering the hardware.. if you doesnt have the skill just go to phone service.. to change the volume down hardware...

Thanks for your reply!
But then it would act as if I'd push only the power button, right? And the Vol-Down button worked before that.
It simply doesn't react by using this key combo.
If I press power button alone, it switches on normally.
Any idea how to solve that?? Please help!
After some research it looks like I would need a Jtag box and adapter for the X1 plus any Jtag-Software to get a new bootloader onto the phone. This will be prolly around 250€ all together.
...so I'd say my beloved X1 is finally (after almost 2 years of usage and flashing fun) bricked.
I don't know how this happened but i am facing the truth right now.
Only way to revive it: Does anyone know a repair-shop in/ close to Munich which has the equipment??

Thanks for your reply!
But first linked thread implies that you can enter the os.
Second one uses cam-button instead of vol-down button, but thats not my problem as my vol-down button is working.
But this confirms that my problem really is the bootloader itself.
So, no luck so far.
Thanks for your help anyway!
fastboot not an option? or has SE that not?(download mode ect)
edit: forget that its an x1. and not an x10. sorry my fault
hey there.
i´m using an i9000 with the recent stable fishears cyanogen mod running on it. (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39171569#post39171569 for more technical info)
i was able to listen to music (with the apollo music player that came with the rom) without trouble via the speakers - but after i aquired a headset yesterdsay and plugged it in for a test it worked just fine - only problem was: the phone refused to afterwards play music via speakers after unplugging the headset again - i had to reboot the phone for that to work again. i didnt find any option to choose the output method. am i just blind or is there in fact something missing?
i dont really know if that problem is already known to you guys - so please excuse me if i overlooked an existing thread about this.
also - my english isnt that well used - feel free to ask if you dont understand what i´m writing...
anyway - thx for your efforts - its greatly appreciated.
Have you tried installing other rom to check if issue is with your phone hardware...
i dont really want mess with the rom if not absulutely necessary - there´s always a chance of bricking the phone with such actions...

I have flashed i9000 thousands of times however never had any issue with flashing
and while I´m grateful for your response you could work a bit at making it more useful...
so - is this bug known or not? I´m pretty sure that my phone hardware is okay - everything i checked makes it look like a software failure...

No....I dont think its a bug I have never came across such thing.
Happened to me I was flashing roms when i got my phone and speaker just stopped working. Im pretty sure its the speaker and I heard its a common problem on the i9000. New one is pretty cheap on ebay and the speaker is pretty easy to replace. BUT DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. Try a different rom and if it still doesnt work replace the speaker. Its a pretty easy and cheap repair Good Luck

I have an i9000M and after installing slimkat 4.4.2 (slimbean) the earpiece stopped working, also the home button. I'll switch ROMs to see. Maybe is the kernel? When I enter recovery (CWM 6.0.x.x) and go to test keys, the home button didn't log.

Not the home button, but the power button is used in CWM 6xxx

I downloaded Semaphore CWM (from semaphore's website) and now all works.
I was talking about the test key option in the Advanced Menu in CWM (you press all keys and it shows if they work, and what command they are assign to do) Volume Up was mapped as Volume Down and vice versa, Back was Home and Home didn't work at all.
Now all works!
