So, is the phone coming on and working just fine but the phone part of it isn't working and 3g?

Do you still have an MSID in phone status under settings?

Did you try reset of services: ##72786#?

Yup. Wifi, 3G, 4G all work.

I'd say bad flash. Corrupt data. What method did you use the first time?

havent tried it, it seems to only happen when an initial connection is made.
my phone would do that every now and then even before the update. usually cycling the wifi off then on would take care of it, or i'd just leave it alone and it would take care of itself
Mine doesnt.
just did my phone and is fine not having that issue.
Just turn mobile data off

3G/H+ issue in AOSP ROMs

Hey guys, I guess this has been reported before but I've never seen solutions or explanations for it. On AOSP ROMs, data works when it displays "H+", when its in "3G", it stops working, but thing is, sometimes I have to turn off data and back on again for it to work properly because it stays stuck in 3G

That's a rom related issue, not all aosp ROMs have that issue.

Also, simply toggling airplane mode on/off can help. Itll ensure you are connected to the best possible tower.

Using latest md5, can I use that old team sonic flasher that's around here? Also, I've heard of some people saying their phones get hotter with md5, mine does so too, any ideas on that?

You can use it, though it hasn't been updated in a very long time. Only thing we know of so far for the md5 heat issue is to use a different modem.
You can flash any modem as long as it is for your model.

Can't call or text

But data/ internet seems to work. Stays in data roaming most of the time. Was on swamp monster and stock. Sprint couldn't fix it either. All of a sudden it started doing this. I also have a second note2 with SwampMonster and that phone works great. Also have a s3 on wicked sensations that works great as well.
Any ideas?

Are you in an area where Sprint is currently upgrading their towers/service? That has been known to cause issues.

Best advice would be to find one of the signal checker apps in the play store and see what signal strength you're getting. If it's weak you know the problem is with Sprint. If it's strong then you would need to look deeper into your phone/ROM/firmware etc.
