Help!
guys... i ran into a problem yday ... was using the TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 v2.5 standard build when it occurred... after setting up the rom, tried the new cam with zoom function for vol keys... cam worked nicely and that was that for the time being... some time later, the home, windows key and backspace key became non-responsive and the vol key behaved as if it was always pressed down.. it wont increase the vol but will only decrease....except for the non-responsive keys, rom was fine...to correct it, i tried everything from rebooting to reloading diff roms... later tried a a wp7 build hoping it would alter the key mapping.. but nothing worked... also, when inside a rom (android or wp7), green button wont wake up the screen...
in magldr menu, there is a slight screen flicker... looks like screen focus is always moving down in a cyclic manner... as if the vol down key is kept pressed... i could hold the vol up key n select menu options with green button but only have to wait for the selection to come to the correct menu option n then quickly select it...
has anyone seen this issue before? any suggestion on how i could recover? is it a hardware error?
all suggestions n comments are welcome...
thanks!

Hi there;
To get into the bootloader mode, switch phone off and then hold the red/green answer buttons, and then power up the phone, hold this down until you get the 3 different colours on the screen.
*By the way, if anyone more experienced wishes to correct me, feel free*
*Damn Doublepost*
To enter the bootloader:
Hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
An alternative way to enter bootloader:
Switch the device off by long pressing O/I (power) button. hold down the camera button while pressing the O/I button about 1 second. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
Alternative(universal?) bootloader(3)
As almost all htc smartphones with onboard camera, when you push and hold the camera(photo) button, and plug in usb adapter. Even a "stupid" usb power adapter will work.
To hard reset:
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
Good LUck
Same here
I have a HTC Touch 6900 I tried to upgrade the rom and now the HTC won't boot up. I tried to hard reset, and tried to get to the bootloader but nothing can anyone help me, Please
i had this same problem five minutes ago i removed the battery for a few minutes and replaced it and it turned on
Rdit:
--
ok the problem is solved... i´ve found the right unbrick ROM now it works
--
ok... now i have the same Problem. I wanted to flash from Onyx WM6.5 (5.0) to the original Vodafone Rom WM6 which i dumped.
After the flash finished, the device rebooted, the Vodafone screen was on the display and then it was black...
Hardreset = no change
Flashing back to Onyx = no change
remove battery = no change
bootloader is reachable and flashing works but the problem with booting is still there
Running hyperdroid 1.7... and i noticed that the buttons only light up, when i use the power on off button eg. pressing red button to unlock phone..
is there a fix for this???
this happend to me as well i just changed to a different build and problem was solved
Does anyone else have this issue?
If I press the power button once it only pops the flight mode>shutdown>silent menu. But if I double press it, it shuts off the screen.
The power button has worked normal before but its like it has a mind of its own.
It works fine in winmo though.
Another thing is when the power button is working properly in android, i can get into the bootloader via hardware keys.
When it isn't working normally in android, I can't start the bootloader nor hardreset.
Today I bought a HTC HD2 with the newest Winmo 6.5 rom.
The buttons: left call button, home button and lower volume button were working
I previously had bought a HTC HD2 and flashed Android on it.
Today I did the same steps, flashing Hardspl, new radio, ... but after installing Magldr I couldn't get into step 5 USB Flash mode because the call button didn't work. Strangely I was able to get into the bootloader mode with the lower volume button and then suddenly for 5 minutes all the buttons were working.
Installed Android and now it isn't working anymore. I tried to flash back the original Winmo rom but in that case the buttons weren't working either.
Anyone a solution ?
Sorry, but this really sounds like a hardware problem. Dismantle the phone and take a look in there, it may be quite fixable.
My soft keys are acting weird. sometimes when i press the home button right after a boot, it captures screen, meaning the 'menu' soft key is depressed. However, after that the softkeys don't respond anymore.
Also, sometimes while powering on, the Galaxy boots up in 'safe mode', meaning again that the 'menu' button is depressed (the way to enter safe mode is by pressing the menu button with the power button).
I have checked the key map in the clockwork recovery which show the 'menu' & 'back' key responding only once before going dead.
During general operation, the softkeys don't work at all and i'm left with only the home button.
Since the keys respond once, i'm sure they're not broken. Seems like a software error. I have tried different kernels & 3 diff roms, but the situation is the same.
Any help to ascertain / solve the problem will be appreciated
Similar issue
I had a similar issue on a brand new phone, the soft keys would detect my finger from about 1cm away, so holding the phone and moving you grip would cause them to activate, eventually they would lock up until you locked the screen and tried again. It was totally a hardware issue, I replaced the phone used the same ROM and no issues.
the reason i'm convinced its not a hardware fault is that the keys 'blink' when i touch them which means they are registering touch. its got to be something else.
the Galaxy has got to be the most mysterious device ever!
Sounds like you ought to send it in for a replacement.
You can try a touchkey firmware update.
Make sure you're on your device's stock ROM otherwise you'll lose your touchkeys.
ENTER *#*#2663#*#* in the dialer. Then update the touchkey firmware and reboot.
You should be able to return to your other ROM after this.
