Physical BUtton on Xperia besides Power Button Don't Work

So all my physical keys on my xperia x1 including the Volume button, the ok button, the X panel button, the pick up call button, the end call button, the two silver buttons all don't work. None of the keys on my keyboard work either.
I've been trying to hard reset but every method I've found includes holding down the volume button (which doesnt work since that button is unresponsive). I've tried the 2 silver button method along with the poking the stylus in the hard reset hole in the back of the phone but that doesnt work either since the silver buttons are unresponsive.
So now I'm looking for the Clear_Storage thing I've been reading about but I can't find it so could someone please supply me with the directory I could find it in or any other solution you can think of to help me hard reset my phone so I can flash a new ROM.
BTW I've used Hard-SPL to flash roms before, it's just this last ROM from itje got all screwy and made the buttons stop working.
Thanks, Nik
Setting > System > Clear Storage.
Sometimes Itje takes it out of his ROMs, though. You can try reflashing by pc method if it's not there.
Yea I've checked and it's not in there, how would you do it by pc?
Is it that ruu executable that you run while it's synced? For some reason
that never actually worked with my comp which is why I always resorted to the SD Card Flash method, but I can't get into the Hard-SPL loader now cause of the button problem.
Does anyone know how to hard-reset without having to use the hardware buttons, because I really need to be able to use my phone again.
Need Help =/
Next to malfunctioning buttons, is the phone starting up?
What happens, if you plug a USB cable in? If you can select ActiveSync mode, then you could easily try to re-flash another ROM image - maybe the one you have been using was corruptly downloaded or something.
Or, if you get too much of strange behaviour like this, try a stock ROM first, then another custom ROM.
It boots up and works fine as long as I stick to using the touch screen and I can USB ActiveSync it too. I know some of the older ROMs used to have an exe you could run while in ActiveSync and it would auto install but most of the new ROMs assume you're using the SD Card Method so I can't find the PC Installer app.
Alright so I managed to isntall a new version of that Firestorm Rom (3.8 I think) and my hardware buttons still don't work.
Like from the buttons that Works:
Power Button
Camera Button
Optical Joypad (only the center square)
Stuff that doesn't work:
X-Panel Button
Ok Button
Volume Button (up, down, center)
Pick up Call
Hang Up Call
Two Silver Buttons (left and right)
Left and Ride on "D-Pad"
ALL KEYBOARD KEYS
What is their left to do if a new ROM doesn't fix the problem?
what are my options for getting this fixed?
my volume keys dont work, dont know why but sometimes theyre working and sometimes not.
i have the same issue. but my g-letter button works. and all other buttons make the volume go up one notch and then down again. further more when i go into settings and the menu that controls what the buttons it only says it has a left and a right button.
have u been able to figure something out??
began working again
after a month it suddenly started to work again! dont know why or how
is a hardware problem, with your flex.
i can tell you this is hardware problem.flash your phone with orginal spl and orginal rom and send sony ericson.i had same problem.they gave me new unit after 3 months fight good luck.
no doubt, it's hardware problem..
Agree with human75, flash your x1 with stockSPL n original ROM before u send it to SE. Do it via your PC.. Goodluck bro

And those buttons are working normally when you turn on your phone (and the screen is on, too)? Can you go to home with home button or lock the device with power buttton?
Maybe just a hardware issue?
buttons
when i power on phone i can use every button normally until i block it :/
This sounds like really random issue, may be a hardware one. If reflashing stock rom trough odin didn't help, then you probably should give your phone to service

button light not woking ! Help ?!

HI guys, as the tiitle says, the light on my htc buttons does not show up, but buttons , (home and back buttons ) work correctly, sometimes they light up for 3-6 sec, and then the light is gone !!, sometimes they dont even light up
p.s im not using power saving mode, and im rooted, any idea how to fix them ?

Oxygen OS capacitive Buttons are not working properly - FIX?!

Hi.
I have noticed a Problem inside Oxygen OS that frustrates me daily.
Watched into it and found no posts about it. Which is really curious...
No Custom Rom (based on Oxygen OS) has it yet solved. (Or maybe is not even informed about it )
Problem:
The capacitive buttons wont always work like they should.
If you press them sometimes the lights only light up and it vibrates, but noting happens.
To reproduce this Problem:
Go into any app.
Press the Home button and immediately press the recent apps button.
Nothing will happen. (Only Vibration and blinking lights)
This Problem happens on any Oxygen OS version and custom Rom based on Oxygen. - For Example "Freedom OS"
It only happens with the capacitive Buttons. The on-screen Buttons react snappy like they should.
So my Question?
Do you know a fix for this?
Do you have the same Problem?
Yeah, you're right, but this problem only occurs if you press the RecentApp Button immediately after you've pressed the home button. And immediately means within a few milliseconds.
I've never the noticed this issue in my daily usage as I'm not pressing the button instantly after using the home button. Maybe I'm not fast enough ?
I'm not having this problem (4.0.2 stock)
i am having same problem with capacitive buttons ! sometimes they don't work, updated from ob15 to ob18
did anyone find solution for this?
have op3t ob18 works all fine ?

Yes, just tried it on OB18 as well and couldn't get the issue you're describing to happen. I tried several apps. In fact, it seems even more responsive than the on-screen navigation.
