[Q] Problem with keyboard and want to lock BL - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi,
I have a problem with my xperia mini pro.
I bought it used.
I tryed to upgrade with pc companion but it told me software modified error.
I put an original firmware 0.62 with flashtool.
I find keyboard problem as for example ''!'' is not under ''?'' but it's under ''''''
so I try to make a 'repair' with pc companion but it told me again 'software modified'
so I find with flashtool message that BL is unlocked.
1) it's BL the problem with pc companion? I've definitely lost warranty?
2) any suggestions for keyboard problem?
3) how can I lock again BL? I find tons of guide of unlocking but nothing about locking, maybe it's all about write 'fastboot oem lock' instead of 'fastboot oem unlock' in the relative guide?
thanks

I decide to give back the phone and buy a new one.
You can close this thread, sorry I can't find any button delete it all.

how to fix
It was too simple to fix the problem.
I am from Russia, so the keyboard layout is different withe the original english qwerty.
If someone else have that issue follow this steps:
ROOT NEEDED
but you will hardly have similar issue using the latest stock.
Using any root explorer go to the folder
Code:
/system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts
find your language layout file and open it using any text editor
find the line
Code:
<Script name="latin">
allocate this line and all lines till the end
Code:
<Script name="latin">
SOME CODE
</Keyboard>
then open the file
qwerty-en.xml (in similar folder)
allocate all code from the line
Code:
<Script name="latin">
to the line ...
Code:
</Keyboard>
...like you did in the previous step. delete all allocated code and then paste the code taken from your layout file.
Save and exit the text editor.
Reboot the phone.
Have fun!

are you shure that @ key and other layout worked well before your attempt to modyfy the system?
try the symbols and numbers layout and if it is incorrect - try my tutorial above your post.

thank you very much Kadr!
the most important thing for me is the warranty, I know BL could be locked again but I don't know if the previous owners have lost drm so the phone lost the warranty..

if the original TrackID works then you still have warrenty)
you can root/unroot your XPERIA without unlocking BL and losing DRM --> click

DRM is lost. BL was unlocked (maybe is relocked)
about TrackID - you can download another from market. it will work

I've got all the answers I needed. Thank you!

Thanks kadr, your fix solved my problem, the keys now work with their correct values
i've noticed that every time the phone keyboard was wiped out, it scrambled all again, but lurking on system/usr/keyboard-config i've found that in the keyprint.xml file the script for latin keys was settled to arabic....
i've changed it to
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en"/>
and taa daaa! after a reboot it worked out perfectly, thanks for the previous help and i apologise for my bad english
