Phone Flashed Messed Up!!!!!

[new FS1e buyer]

Ok guys im new to this
i got a phone from ebay saying it was cricket ready
Lg Vx5200 Well they said its not it wont call after they activated it So i did a manual program and that didnt work either
So i talked with another guy from this forum and told me to load the Cricket 1040.prl in the roaming with Qpst So i did that now my phone is stuck saying
"Searching For Signal"
Can anyone tell what what i can do to make this phone work

I will pay someone to connect to my pc remotely and fix one of these phones i need a phone i dont care what one lol

Doing multiple posts on the same issue clogs up the forum for those that search. One post per problem is sufficient. If someone knows the answer it will be answered. Posting it twice doesn't make it more likely for someone to answer it. In fact, it has the opposite effect.

there is an advertising forum here, you can pay someone to fix it for you.

Well someone told me tri band only area. Is why this is doing it can someone confirm?

St.louis,I will post there if i cant figure it out i guess but i will still offer if anyone knows anything lol

 

[tmat9120]

st louis is a triband market you have to use a cricket phone

 

[Gracie W]

I cant use any flashed phone?

 

[Caution]

The only ones you can use that can be flashed are MetroPCS phones as long as they are TriBand Area phones as well. But to a flashed phone, like a PPC-6800, or Palm Treo, or the VX5200 then you won't be able to use it.

Sorry man.

This is confusing
Below is my chat with cricket

 

[calilove3456]

Nobody offers tri band phones only Cricket and Metro PCS

 

[The Fat Kid]

Verizon does not offer Tri Band area phones...like Mr Cricket and myself have said, only Cricket branded phones, or if you have a Metro PCS phone, you can flash the cricket software...they both use identical phones. Come to think of it....even if I had gotten that Razr fixed, you wouldn't be able to get it work, because the V3m Razr isn't a triband phone. That I am pretty sure of. It would need to be a V3s

Well that sucks i wonder if i will ever be able to use these phones in the future
