Note:If you were stock before or downloaded and installed the update from metro you may have to go into cust/ and del metropcs manually to rid all of the bloatware. If you were on another ROM you should be good.
Don't want to come off sounding like an idget, but.... where do I download the ROM to on my phone? I'm really new to all of this, I've only had the Ascend for less than a week, I did root it the other day though :) and I've installed CWM

Well, he said he was trying to get data enabled, so it sounded like he was trying to turn it on. He would have to tell it to turn on after the install, wouldn't he?

Ok, scratch what I just said. I turned off my wifi and cannot get to websites either.

It is on, but i get no data connection. I went back to Icarus to check, and I have data, however, I re-flashed to 2.2 after wiping everything and I have no data.
It is very strange since it looks like there's other people running it without an issue.

This is PG's zip file. i have downloaded it 3 times to make sure the zip file is not the issue. And I have flashed it 5 times now.

Yeah, I had the same issue, so I flashed to stock and made sure my data worked, then went to the 2.2.2 upgrade. It is still working. Some people have done this then installed PG's file and it is working on them, so I may try to install his now.

I flashed back to stock and tried the upgrade. I got a message saying that my system was up to date.
