infinite safe mode, vol down button stuck

hey guys, i have this rom flashed and the other day my phone just rebooted on its own after i received a text message and it booted into safe mode. when it boots it has the option to restart and turn safe mode off but it keeps going right back into safe mode. i tried a bunch of things, restarting while holding power and vol up, restarting with power and vol down, took battery out for 1+ min, tried again, then tried with sim and micro sd card out, etc. no matter what it keeps booting into safe mode. i'm 99.9% certain its because of the "stuck" volume down button. it clicks for vol up or down but only reacts to the vol up, vol down does nothing (once its powered on).

i found some threads with people with similar issues (safe mode and vol button stuck) and common fix was to change the flex cable. i have no interest in doing it myself so i did a chat with samsung and will be sending in the phone for repair. my question is, with this rom flashed (on the stock slot), how do i get back to factory stock without losing the ability of rooting later if possible? it also currently shows the "custom" screen at boot up. i'm almost certain when i send it to samsung, they flash update the firmware so i might just be getting a phone back i won't be able to root.

any help would be appreciated.

TL;DR: i have this rom on my phone but need to get back to stock to send to samsung for repair. what do i need to flash?

You will need to Odin back to stock 4.3 before sending it back. Hopefully they will not do the upgrade while its there prior to sending it back to you

Help!

I finally got verizon to replace my N3 after I accidentally took the nc4 OTA. Luckily, the replacement had 4.3, so I followed the intructions here to go to nc2 and everything was working great, I had safestrap 3.72, but when I rebooted, it didn't go into the safestrap menu. Went back to the safestrap app and installed recovery again, rebooted, and now just the beginning screen with the padlock appears, then nothing else. Pulled the battery several times, same thing. I'm pretty much a noob, don't know what to do next.

If by 4.4.2 stock you mean teh NC4 ota, you will not be able to root until someone finds a workaround. Sorry. REad the post above your original post. Some users ARE having success complaining about service, reception, batt life, etc with new NC4 ota and ARE getting 4.3 remanufactured devices...

If I already had that Beans ROM for my Note3, do I have to delete/remove that and do something? I never took any OTA updates or anything. Would like to try this Baja ROM, but know nothing of NC2. Total noob nonsense, I know.....

If you followed the Beans NC2 update process, you can flash any 4.4.2 rom (NC2 based). Follow the 'root, flash roms' link in my sig if you're unsure of the process with Safestrap.

The OP just says to be on any custom 4.3 rom and running Safestrap 3.65/3.71

I went from MJE to NC2 leak. If Mj7 and MJE contain considerably different firmware/updates, there might be an issue. But Beans doesn't specify MJE, so as long as your running a 4.3 cust rom, you should be good :D

EDIT: jrbxx7 called it faster than I di :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] schrochem:

Incoming calls inconsistantly soft booting phone

It seems that only incoming calls will turn off the screen, allow no audio for the call, and shortly after it will soft reboot the phone. In an effort to find a fix found a thread that was upgrading the modem only from NC2(then my current version) to NC4. This has not fixed the issue, any ideas?

Nevermind, I answered my own question. It is yes, revert back to MJE and start all over. Back to NC2 and running Objectrom.

Just d/l cust rom zip to your sd card, reboot into SS, hit recovery, wipe, factory reset, install rom zip, enjoy :D

You can also try Greenify (Play Store) which hibernates the apps you select to keep them from running in background (this saves mem resources & batt life)...

Went through the steps to upgrade to 4.4.2.

Initially, I used Odin 3.09 to flash the firmware. I put it in the 'AP' slot and had both auto-restart and F. reset time checked.

Phone rebooted, but once past the "Note 3" screen, all I get is a black screen. The phone is still on, but nothing shows up.

It vibrates when I hit the power button or hold it.

I can get back into download mode, and I tried again with Odin 3.07. Same result.
