something terribly wrong with my X1

I'm using Itje's Touch it v7 ROM, and I don't know, something f***ed up with the rom, don't know how. anyway, hardware keys on my X1 don't work, except the power button. Volume keys also don't work. Hardware keyboard won't type, I have to use on-screen keyboard. Tried to hard reset, but nothing happens, all the same. I can't even load the boot (multicolor) screen, to upload another rom (guess, it won't load because volume keys don't respond), using my power key and volume down key. Won't even hard reset while holding down power key and two silver keys....
any solution please?
thanks in advance

Dude Turn the phone off, Take the battery out for 30 seconds, Replace the battery and try entering the boot loader mode again. If Its not letting you do that then it will be a fault with the hardware not the rom. I think when you enter the boot loader mode, that does not rely on the rom.

I don't say it's the ROM, but I don't know what it is... No, taking battery out for 2 mins didn't help

try flashing using SEUS?

everything worked fine, i flashed a few roms, before I decided to use Itje's one. flashed via memory card method

as Fards was trying to tell you: try the other (SEUS) method to flash again. This way you don't need to use any of the buttons on your X1.

will try that, thank you guys

or alternatively any customRuu.exe
if you look in most custom roms install folder, they have several files including an app called "enterbootloader.exe"

tried using sony ericsson update service, but the program asks me to hold down the volume key and power key, which doesn't work, so I don't really know what you mean...
will try this enterbootloader.exe thing...

Can you still hard reset using |START|SETTINGS|SYSTEM|CLEAR STORAGE|?
What rom and SPL are you using?
You might need to Hard-SPL again.

I clear de storage ok. Thanks but the problem continues I can not enter to the three color screen (bootloader) I press power button and the right volume button but appears the SE logo screen. The rom.. Now is the original i follow the link NEW ORIGINAL X1 ROMS INCLUDING R3AA0xx update 19.6.2009.
about the Hard-SPL I do everything of the link " Hard-SPL for Xperia X1 - Released! "
and the process finish ok but I can not enter to the screen.
Whats Wrong?

Are your xperia volume keys working properly because it can be hardware issue....

To hard reset:
When you're holding the silver key buttons press the power button NO MORE THAN A SECOND. Just press it very lightly and it should hard reset your device. Again do not hold the power button when you're holding the silver buttons.

Are you using volume down?
Turn the phone off, hold volume down (and keep holding) then turn the phone on. Make sure it isn't connected to your PC when doing this.
Edit: Does it enter the bootloader correctly when you are using the Rom Update Utility?

Flash back to an earlier rom, HardSPL again and see if you can enter the bootloader and hard reset using the key combinations.

At Whirlpool (Australian forum) we recommend using this Generic UK R1A Rom to recover from bad flashes.
Check the recovering from a bad flash section of this page.
If things go wrong we recommend getting your phone completely back to stock and trying everything again from scratch. Then step through to see what is causing the error.

Great info thanks I will Read

Buzz buddy how i can know what is the version of the bootloader if i can not enter to him??
I try many times. press and hold Right volume key and press de power key. and release power after the vibration. I am tired of the SE logo jaja.
early i try again to load the X1_HardSPL.exe with the pc and i see the three colors screen in the xperia. the screen show a 0.52 thats its OK??

the thing is:
if you want to go into the bootloader you need to press and hold the power button and the volume button down untill you get into the 3coloured screen.

exactly thats is all i want but a can't
all The keys (Volumen, Power, silver keys) Works Fine in Windows Mobile. but i can not make hard reset with the silver keys and button power. or worse i can not enter to the bootloader mode with volume key and power key.
before all its ok but now its like the keys dont work at the start.

to do a hard reset I just keep holding both softkeys and then I press the reset button with the stylus.
try it this way.

Flash another rom using the Rom Update Utility and see if you can get the bootloader to load using the volume down and power buttons. It must be a software problem preventing you from using this key combination.
I can't seem to find how to start the bootloader without the key combination.
It might be worth sending OliNex a PM and asking for advice.

Home Button not working anymore ! DEAD ! :(

Hi guys,
i flashed my sgs with super optimised kernel 3.7 from 3.6 .... = bad news ... i realised that my home button does not work anymore so i have to use the back button instead of home button it took me many hours to figure and fix my sgs but still no home button working but at least my sgs did not turn into a paperweight.
below are the series of events that happened (i tried to put it in order as much as possible)
- home button stopped working
- alot of FC'ing
- sgs kinda like jammed or stuck
- did a full reflash from step 1 [HOWTO] Froyo FW I9000XXJPM: Upgrade via Odin, Root, Recovery 2e, Lagfix! several times !
- flashed a couple of times but when phone enters recovery mode after 1st flash i cant select wipe data/cache cos home button not working so phone was turned off and entered download mode then flashed JPM.
- also tried to flash in 3.6 version kernel couple of times to overwrite 3.7
- here are some stuff i saw along the way :
--there were occasions i see a mobile logo with arrow pointing to pc (just like the background pic of recovery menu but no menu till i unplug usb)
--after reflash when it enters recovery mode automatically it will then not show menu and android logo with a caution sign was seen but when usb cable is unplugged recovery menu comes back but still no luck to wipe data/cache cos home button not working
--instead of seeing recovery 2e , 3e was shown but then again i cant select wipe data/cache due to home button not working
i'm sure many reading this is figuring how i managed to enter recovery or download mode without the home button ???
-- just hold vol up/down + power button home button is not needed in my case !
while in recovery menu, i cant select or do anything with home button except moving vol up/down button to highlight selection but cannot "enter" with home button so i turned the phone off and continued flashing JPM and it works.
but while inside the 3.6 or 3.7 kernel, i can move up or down using vol switch and how did i manage to "enter" selection without home button ? i discovered that the power button does the "enter" !
home button was working intermittently but it comes with double click where you bring the last 6 used apps and task manger selection .. but now it does not come up anymore. still can feel the click on the home button but no response as for now.
also flashed several times as mentioned with re-partition ticked to try to wipe everything but still same results.
so now i have ended up with :
PDA : I9000XXJPM
Phone : I9000XXJPM
CSC : I9000 OXAJPM
Build info : 2010.10
Baseband : I9000XXJPM
Kernel Version : 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #19
Build Number : FROYO.XXJPM
i have also tried many ways such as formatting sd, system, basically almost every menu in the kernel ! basically i wiped out previous data (my guess) but all the apps + data are gone. it was a PITA process.
now it is just the freaking home button does not work anymore ! but nevertheless quadrant still shows 2216 ! and the phone is still blazing fast .
hope someone could help out i have tried to do the search function but not much luck related to my issue.

i have the same problem .... my home button is dead as well -.-'

just tried. home button still dead ...
luckly my phone is still in warranty ..

Help please

My phone is acting up I dont know why.
When I turn it on it doesnt change from the first screen where it Says Galaxy s
GT-i9000 to i9000m
I dont know whats up link me to help me out brosÉ

try to put the phone in recovery mode (volume up + home button + power button ) all at the same time if that works try to do factory reset and wipe all the caches..
if that doesnt work try to put the phone in download mode (volume down + home button + power button ) again all at the same time.. if that works flash a new rom ( stock rom is best ) and that should fix your problem
if none of them work, come back here and let us know and we can talk about some other recovery methods.
