I upgraded the rom on my cingular 8525 to the official wm6 rom from the HTC site. Now I have a keyboard problem. The keys do not transpose (as I have read in multiple other threads. Some of the keys simply do not function. I've tried quite a few cab files to change/fix the language on the keys but nothing has worked. I don't want to downgrade to wm5, but may have to. Any suggestions?

have you already checked the wiki with registry tweaks for the language settings?
try this:

Yeah I checked the wiki and got total commander. Went to HKLM\Software\Oem\Qwerty and changed the value in 'Layout' to 20409, hexadecimal. Powered off/on. Still nothing. Please tell me I'm retarded and that I did this wrong. Keys that work: qwetu, asdgj, (CAPS) v n, Directional keys work, and the windows icon key is my spacebar. That's it. Luckily the on-screen keyboard is fine, so I may just find a cab that can maximize its size (short term), that is if I can't find a simple, quick fix. I did check though and every time I check the registry after I power off/on the value in 'Layout' shows as decimal not hex.

If a hard reset doesn't correct the problem.....
Re-Flash your 8525!!

With my 8525, I was having major problems with Internet access and playing video files. I had to re-flash it!! Things do happen during the flashing process, an occasional corruption can Happen!

Good Luck,
Stuart

I would but every time I attempt to sync, my computer loses it's wireless connection and then I have to do a system restore to get it to work again. The next time I flash my rom I'm going to do it on somebody elses computer. Clusterf&#k indeed. I may just hawk it on the bay and try to afford a tilt...

It may be easier to search for and install Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool v1.1... Then you can easily change the keyboard language to Cingular or English... Some people have had luck with using Chinese...

Good Luck.
