Struggling with a malfunctioning back button on your Fly IQ434 smartphone? You’re not alone. Many Android users face similar hardware issues, and instead of investing in costly repairs or new devices, there’s a DIY software solution you might want to consider. This guide will walk you through the process.

Prerequisites: This method requires a rooted Android device.

1. Install a Root-Compatible File Manager:

   • Download ES File Explorer from the Play Market, a popular choice among Android users.

2. Enable Root Permissions:

   • Launch the app, activate the ‘root explorer’ feature, and provide the necessary permissions.

3. Navigate to Keylayout Directory:

   • Head to the /system/usr/keylayout directory.
   • Always backup this folder first.

4. Modify Keylayout Configuration:

   • Open the .kl file suitable for your device (commonly Geneic.kl).
   • Comment out the line BACK WAKE_DROPPED using a ‘#’.

5. Reboot and Test:

   • Restart your phone. If the back button still operates, you might need to adjust another .kl file.

6. Introduce a Software Button:

   • Download Button Savior from the Play Market. It’s a favorite Android button emulator.
