Try using the trackball and see if "Input method" option comes up.

Huh. Aomething just doesn't sound right.
I haven't sim unlocked my device so i haven't even seen that screen that you are referring to. Sorry. If you press and hold on the text box nothing happens?
What about if you try changing the orientation?
Maybe do a nandroid backup, do a complete wipe, flash a fresh rom to start over from scratch and try unlocking it. Once sim unlocked do a nandroid restore and it should stay sim unlocked since the subsidy doesn't have anything to do with the rom itself.
Ok, so pressing and holding on the text box makes the Input Method menu appear, but selecting Android Keyboard still doesn't make it appear.

well... try my previous suggestion with a wipe.
That did the trick. I wiped and flashed a fresh Eclair rom and I was able to use the keyboard
Thanks for the help.

No problem. I'm glad that I was able to help. I'll go ahead and close this thread since you no longer need assistance. Send me a private message if you need it opened again for whatever reason.

Are you clicking the trackpad to make the selection? I ask because some people have tried using other buttons to select and then thought their phone was bricked.

Great minds think alike. Hopefully that was his only problem. I have to say though, there's something pretty funny about someone thinking their phone is bricked because they're using the wrong button to make selections in recovery! I'm not making fun of anyone, but it does make my chuckle a little.

If the ROM still won't boot, I would wipe data, cache, and Dalvik-Cache, and then flash the ROM again (assuming the zip is still on your SD).

Wipe each item once. I think the new recoveries wipe everything when you select 'data', but do the other items just to be sure. Dalvik-Cache is under the Advanced section.
Thanks a lot. My phone working now!

Hi thanks a lot for your help. Your Track pad solution is golden. My phone is working now. Take care and keep helping people
Glad I could help.
Haha I feel for you OP I had this problem at first (came from an EVO didn't have a trackpad) so I was confused. Didn't take much before I realized it was the trackpad inside. My new problem is my trackpad broke lol. So now I can't select anything (in the OS or in the Recovery) somehow I got the power button to work one time while I was in recovery (little white writing even came up like it does when you flash a rom that said "power button select enabled") never got this to happen again though, any ideas?

Yes a new rom should fix the problem!!
Or a reboot will fix the problem too!!
Thanks for the feedback.
I got an update from her. When I told her to do a hard reboot, she told me that it got stuck on the logo. I'm gonna check it out later. But if that'd be the case, what should I do then?

Okay, as of now, we're experiencing boot loop. I'm not able to access the phone settings. Is there a button combination I need to press in order for me to be able to access the "settings" Thanks

Just flashed it. Pretty smooth and fast. Has some bloatware. But, I am sure they can be frozen or removed.

This ROM should work with any 'L'. I live in the US. When the phone first booted up, it was in Portugues. I just changed it to English. After I installed CWM and rooted the phone, used Titanium Backup to uninstall all of the bloatware. The ROM is now very lite and smooth.
Here is a screen

Not sure what happened there. Maybe install CWM, backup your phone and do a complete wipe and factory reset.

Done this 3 times same result.
Also multi window is greyed out?
The only thing I would suggest checking is Setting, More, Security, Device Administrator and see if there is any setting that you can play around with. Otherwise, do a complete wipe and reflash the ROM. I went from stock 4.1.2 to this ROM without any issue.

Hi Guys,
I am using 4.2.2 ODIN root from stock firmware.
I was using SwiftKey up until today when i couldn't bare it the lag so i stopped the application before uninstalling...big mistake.
The keyboard refuses to show up no matter what text box i want to type in. Nothing. The touch screen works perfectly for everything else.
Now whenever i deselect SwiftKey and just try to use the default keyboard after a few seconds the device reboots.
The deselection's stay the same but i still cant bloody type!!
Even a restore didn't work.
I have work in 7 hours and i cant work without it.
Thanks!

Can you install another keyboard? Or can you flash the stock one?
Go to settings>language and input>default choose the Samsung keyboard or install a new keyboard
Please Don't Forget To Press The Thanks Button!! :thumbup:
Login to http://play.google.com/ and try to reinstall SwiftKey for your phone. Hopefully it might solve the problem.

Did you restore using ODIN? Did you do a factory reset after flashing the ROM?
If you did use ODIN, but didn't restore. Try it. Go to Recovery > Wipe Data/Factory Reset
The settings might have been left over from your phone before you flashed the ROM. Be sure to have a backup of your files before doing the Reset.

flashed twrp on the naked phone and installed the backup from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/oxygenos-4-5-1-backup-t3626167 (made a misstake and wiped system).
so device should be stock. no apps installed. real naked phone
I guess you have to wait for the original stock firmware straight from OnePlus and then make a clean flash. If it worked of out the box it should work after original firmware.
dont knowif it worked out of the box. powered on and flashed twrp. but will try a clean flash

Well, at least we know that this isn't a hardware problem. We just have to wait for the full zip.
wiping data with the twrp backup solves the problem. home button working now
In my case the "gaming do not disturb" mode was on (I dont know how ... ) anyway if you have the same issue you can go to Settings->Advanced->Gaming Do Not Disturb and uncheck Lock Buttons.
