BLACKBERRY CRICKET SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

I have received lately a number of inquiries from people on how to setup their flashed blackberry to the Cricket network. It would appear that people are flashing them, but not providing how to get them setup on the Cricket network. For those of you who are in the predicement. Please follow the instructions below. Please be aware, if you try these instructions and your blackberry has not been flashed (special software installed on the handset), it will not work.
