Sorry guys forgot to check back. Alternatively, (how I did it) you can ssh into the phone from a computer either under root, or sudo gainroot after ssh-ing as a regular user. Of course this requires installing ssh (open-ssh?), and a wlan connection.
as i did not had any scim files in my packages, and i totally forgot the last app i installed, and i did not wanted to reset to factory.
I tried some dumb test
1- disable virtual keyboard, reboot, enable: KO
2- disable virt keyboard, reboot, enable, reboot: KO
3- disable, reboot, set physical kbd in other language (or switch azerty to qwerty), reboot, revert back to natural physical keyboard, OK !!!!
... and then revert virtual keyboard in native language.
It was late night, nothing to loose but sleeping time, and i worked.
I hope i could help some before reseting to factory.
I had the problem of losing virtual keyboard, auto-cap, word completion, fn/shift lock, symbols and all that after trying mscim and google-piyin. Removing said applications did not restore the above functions, nor did restoring factory default settings, nor pulling out the battery.
What did finally restore the functions was using dpkg to purge the mscim and scim configuration files. The configuration files remain even after you remove applications using the application manager. To see if you still have them, open a terminal and type
Code:
dpkg -l | grep -i scim
If the start of each returned entry has the letters rc, it means that configuration files still exist (if there are the letters ii, it means the applications are still installed, you should remove them first using the app manager, apt-get or dpkg)
If you have these configuration files,
Code:
dpkg --purge x
replacing x with scim or mscim or whatever (I purged libscim8c2a as well just to be thorough, even though just purgin mscim and scim solved the problem).
Reboot, and hopefully your virtual keyboard etc are restored.

Hello,
that command was the only fix that worked here. Type "sudo" before it if getting a message about super user privileges or so.
