One thing that's weird is that /data/etc/apns-conf.xml and /system/etc/apns-conf.xml differ. The one in /system/ is correct and contains a huge list of APNs. The one in /data/ only lists T-Mobile APNs. I tried copying the complete file into /data/etc but that doesn't work. I've tried to turn data on and off to see if I connect but that doesn't work either. I also tried editing the apns-conf.xml file that is in /data/etc but to no avail.
I formatted my SD card (full format) and still nothing.
If I soft reset the phone all the /data/ settings I changed are wiped out.
Can somebody please help me out?

The /data/etc/apns-conf.xml is probably getting copied over from the rootfs, from /init.etc/apns-conf.xml. I'm still not really sure why it works like that (it's obviously not ideal). Maybe just trash the one in init.etc and see if it falls back to the /system version.
After the initial boot, I don't think it matters anyway, since that data all gets populated into the database -- I'm not even sure it continues to look at apns-conf.xml after that.
If manually adding the APN (with MCC/MNC of 310/995) didn't fix your data (after a reboot and a little pause and a deep breath to make sure it had a chance to get up and running) then your problem isn't the APN.
