MetroPCS W385

okay so i have a w385 from metro and i flashed it the generic motorola firmware.
everything went well but i realized that they are almost exactly the same. so i
wanted to flash to boost so i can have java. this is where things went wrong.
when i turn it on it says verizon (????) then the screen goes white and it shuts off. i think this happened because i forgot to reboot the phone after the first flash. i tried to reflash several times with different files but it fails. any help is greatly appreciated.

never mind i fixed it by flashing an upgrade and then flashing with a monster.

What flash did you use? I tried the one upgrade flash for metro pcs and it still did not work.

i flashed the first upgrade i could find which was a cricket. then when i turned it on the screen was black and the outer lcd said cricket. i flashed it with the DST monster and it worked perfectly.

il try that and see if it works. Thanks alot for your reply.

I cant seem to find a working cricket flash. All the ones i have found wont load when i try to flash. It says there is a problem with the flash file. Any ideas?

Here are the files i used. Flash with the cricket upgrade then restart the phone. Then flash with the DST monster. I used RSD Lite 4.2
