Help Dysfunctional Menu, Select, Return & Search buttons, please help!!

[andcruiser]

Hi all,

The subject says it all, just lost function of all of these physical buttons on my rooted Desire for no known reason, factory reset didn't help.
Tried to un-root but the phone wouldn't do it.
One exception, the select button works fine in camera mode only.
Any input / help would be appreciated.

If irreparable please suggest the most reliable smart phone in your opinion and/or by experience.

Oh dear...
Try wiping EVERYTHING from recovery mode and flashing a new ROM...
There are many guides to help with that stuff.....

That should sort it..... Unless the buttons are acc broken... But I doubt that...

Need more help?

Thanks lob,
Tried that too, as mentioned, the select button isn't working, no option to use the phone for any in depth changes only if it can be connected to a PC where the PC manipulates the system..

So, you have gone (or failed to get) into recovery mode any you still cant navigate around the recovery menus because the buttons dont work...?

Hmm.... Maybe I'm missing something.... Are you rooted? I forget, but you probably need root access to mess around in recovery.

This all seems very strange.... Unless your not using the recovery mode.... Or the buttons are physically broken...

About controlling the phone from a computer.... Its called ADB...
I try to avoid using it because I don't really understand it... But I do know what it's called!

Good luck
