That said, is there a problem with the uscellular radio link or is it just something with being a new member? I can download every other radio in this list except the uscellular one. I get an error message about editing someones post or my account not being active.
I've always liked the US Cellular radio personally. It seems to be the most adept at getting a satellite lock quickly and I cannot tell the difference between the Telus radio on heat or signal.

You're in Iowa, so I'd try out the new Alltel or maybe Verizon radio, since Alltel has a large rural subscriber base. Verizon might fare pretty well also, because they have to tune their radios for a more diverse infrastructure with tower distances being more inconsistent than Sprint or Telus because they pieced their network together as well as absorbing Alltel's network. Sprint's network has always been Sprint owned and when they built it, they built it all out with one unified plan. Same with Telus.

Is the card you are using a SDHC card, if so it will not work to flash your phone you can only use regular SD cards (usually under 2 gig)

Alltell has absolutely horrid service here in iowa, at least the part i live in. I am actually a US Cellular Agent. I have alltell customers come in my store regularly that have absolutely no service whereas most us cellular phones are running almost full strength. That's really the only thing that ticks me off about this touch pro is it's poor service, otherwise i love the phone.

Is there another link i can find that us cellular radio at since i can't download it ifrom here? i'd like to try default again.

Thanks for the clarification; this accounts for why my bootloader couldn't see the radio image file. Though, oddly enough, I was able to unlock the ROM via the SD card method - bootloader found it just fine.

Anyway, using ActiveSync (as guest) I was able to update the radio - now trying out the new 1.12.20F Alltel to see how it compares with the 1.04.05V Telus I've been using for the past few weeks (which was MUCH better than the Sprint stock radio I had been using all along).

On Sprint in S. Cal.
Tried Telus 1.04.05 and Sprint 1.11 and found absolutely NO difference from the stock radio.

I have only ever flashed from my 8 GB SDHC card and haven't had any problems.

Same here. People may not be putting the RAPHIMG.nbh file in the root of their card correctly, formatting to FAT32, or naming the file correctly. In WinMo it should only be displayed as "RAPHIMG" no quotes, no file extension.

Same region. Try the Verizon 1.03.09, it works much better in poor signal areas especially for me.
