Ouch. :S Just a question... would you sell its pieces together? I don't know if it may be usable for anything, but it may worth a try...

Thanks EskeRahn for the testing. I've been dragging my feet on resetting as well to fix these damn keyboard issues, as my Pro1 is my daily driver, so this info will be very valuable. Of all the things to be broken on this phone, it had to be the keyboard. Damn 😞

PS I will suggest the opposite order. Install the functioning rom, and do a reset from that (you can do it from the recovery menu, so it is a clean boot on the newly flashed rom) (I have updated the original bug report with this new variant, so if we are very lucky and a developer is bored today, we might see a fix included in tomorrows update...)

You could try to flash the 20210531, with a little luck it will work stepping back 'one step' even without resetting.

The IMEI number is an individual number for each specimen of a phone model. You could see it as a standardised serial number. See e.g. wiki

Will do 🙂

Thank you so much for your testing!!! Ok, I will wait for tomorrow and if nothing change, I have to reset my phone again and install an old ROM. Please report me, if the version 0614 broke your settings again.

Nope, it is a test-device (the old pre-production unit without a few radios...) A factory reset does NOT fix it... Will try to flash a few weeks back and do a reset... Edit I. It still worked flashing 20210510 (and doing a factory reset) Edit II. It still worked flashing 20210517 (no reset) Edit III. It still worked flashing 20210524 (no reset) Edit IV. It still worked flashing 20210531 (no reset) SO the conclusion is that keyboard selection was broken with the 20210607, beyond what a factory reset can fix! (will not re-flash now, but optimistically try going from 0531 to 0614

You need to BOTH tell it whether it is the qwertZ or qwertY version (see above) and ALSO select the language you want to type on it. e.g. German on qwertZ.

Did some tests of my device last weekend. There has been quite much skepticism however the construction of the sliding mechanism is robust enough. Hypothesis During severe mechanical impact the sliding mechanism will take the most damage. Method Put the device on the roof of an automobile and drive 3km on the highway in 100km/h Result Everything broke except sliding mechanism and the keyboard. Reflection It is not recommended to transport your device on the roof of your car. The sliding mechanism of the F(x)tec Pro1 is a strong an
