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?

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.

Having no ROM installed (i.e. via Task29) does not mean the vol key method won't work. It should work - remove battery, replace battery, hold power and vol key together for a few seconds. The only reason it wouldn't is if there was something physically wrong with the key.

all you have to do is hold the vol DOWN and power until screen comes up

What do you get when you just turn on your phone? You can always turn on your phone, if you have a ROM flashed it will boot the ROM. If not or not properly flashed then it will take you to the bootloader....

lol.. your barking at the wrong tree man.. read & understand

don't know if this is related but i thought i'd post it still.
i had an issue with task29 once i tried it.
usually, i flash roms using activesync since i'm kinda lazy putting back and fort the x1 cover, battery and all that.
after flashing task29, my x1 went dead. what i did, i removed the sd card,
plugged it to my pc and put the kovsimg file of the rom i like best,
plugged back in the sd card with the kovsimg file and re-flash via sd card method (using soft keys & volume button).
viola! it worked! but then again, i guess that's the way it's suppose to be done anyways.

Ever did a bad flash???? Try it....flash from your pc and pull the USB cable. If you reset your phone where does it take you? Certainly not to boot the ROM, because the flash went wrong.
Well.....
As the OP doesn't tell us specific details about why or how his X1 has no ROM, I'm trying to get some more info on his problem.
So keep your rude words in your mouth before you speak...!
Since when does trying to help someone wastes your time???! Dude you really need to utter your frustrations somewhere else.

Hello! I had this problem a minute ago. Try this:
1 -Turn on the phone. The screen will freeze in Sony Ericsson logo.
2 - After this, hold the two silver front buttons and press the softreset button behind the battery cover (to do a Hard Reset).
3 - Follow the instructions to perform the Hard Reset.
4 - When finished, remove the battery. Wait for 3 seconds and put the battery back.
5 - Now try to hold Vol Down key and turn the phone on.
It worked for me. But OMG, this thing scared me...

3-buttons combo fix galaxy note

hello guys !
I really need help.
my galaxy note has blocked for some reason and I cannot go into download mode or recovry by using 3buttons (vol up/down + home + off)
apart of it everything is working (my curently rom is imilka v8)
how can I fix it ?
I will be glad for help !

Maybe your phone is not totally off before you do 3 buttons. Try to remove and reinsert battery to ensure it is totally off then repeat the procedure. Hope this helps.

@kopitalk - Well you don't require to be off for using the 3 buttons combo for recovery. Anytime press the combo in any screen and keep them pressed till the time the Samsung GT N7000 logo comes up and leave all of them then. it will boot in recovery.
But since its not happening here with nowy57 so the best bet will be remove battery (as suggested by kopitalk). Leave for 2-3 mins and then insert and then try going to recovery mode!!

Use a jig to see if it helps

Does your all three button works separately? I mean it is not defective when you using as routine use?
just check it.
