Hey, those of you on US Cellular (and possible MetroPCS) there is a solution to get data working.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=113441
See Page 8 (post #79 by eval-) and Page 9 (post #86 by me for an alternate method less technical, but more steps)
Thanks eval- and others who provided this solution. It is my understanding that the rootfs.img file will be updated down the road so we will not need jump through the hoops too much longer.
PS very happy to see this thread reopened. =D>
