Menu / Back software (screen) keys no longer works - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

The Menu and Back keys no longer works. The light for the button does not turn on. I have wiped and installed different ROMs including the stock but still doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried odin back to stock?

Why not? It could be something loose inside (I have no idea) or it may need replacing.
If you don't have insurance you are out $50 and you have a working phone
But you did hook to a pc and do an odin tar restore right?

Using the Gnote toolkit v3 I restored back to stock and I have also tried different stock roms listed under development, flashed with twerp and cwm.......I have no insurance, but I did not know is only 50$. That's not bad at all....I will take it in. Thanks for the advice.

Cool. Let me know how it goes

As far as I can tell by examining the install script, this is not a permanent install.
Everytime you reboot, it will go back to the original CWM and you will have to run the install again to get this recovery.

You are right. It works perfectly. Does backups and installs but won't stick. How can we make it stick sfhub? By packing it into a stock kernel?

Yes, pack it into a stock kernel and flash/install the resulting kernel.

UVLi1 Radio extraction help..

So I'm one of the 2 known members in this forum that got a replacement phone and it came loaded with UVLI1 firmware and UVLI1 radio. T-Mobile isn't making it available to anyone purposely. Only new handsets and replacements will come preloaded with it.
I'd like to rip the radio out so Void_Dweller can do his thing, turn it into a flashable zip and you can all have it.
Someone, help me with this cos I haz no idea where to start. Thanks in advance, and you're welcome.

do you have insurance? flash it stock. bring it in and hope they dont go to download mode. if they do tell them you bought it used off craigslist months ago. play dumb. they should replace it if you have insurance.

I would ODIN back to Stock as suggested by kaos420. Then work from there. Also since you are so far from a Sprint store, they will ship the device to you if you let them know.
