Well, you can install a carrier cab for internet provisioning if that's what you mean but if you are gonna flash to cricket follow whitey's guide here:

There is a Tutorial on how to flash a Vogue to cricket I wrote last month in the stickys. If you read through it, there is a link for the PST setting that you will need to change for cricket.
You never did tell me why cricket said they could not activate it. Out of curiosity, where are you located?

I already flashed it with QPST, I was wondering how to activate it myself. They said to call *228 to have it program but it wont work. I'm to lazy to go to CricKet store to get it manually programed, any program so I can program it myself? Also Houston Area

OK if you follow my tutorial in the stickys it has a link for the PST setting you will need to make sure that they are all correct. Then call cricket and add the ESN to your account. Then insure that you have a cricket PRL and dial *228 or what ever *228 code they tell you to dial. If it fails try a differenty PRL.
You can also manually program it in QPSTs service programming menu. I am really curious where you are located and if you are in a AWS market that could lead to problems with activation.
Do you at least get the cricket message when you *228?
Since you won't tell us what market you are in or why cricket would not activate I will say if you are in any of the following market/area your Touch will not activate and cricket most likely will not accept the ESN.
In August 2006, Leap Wireless participated in FCC Auction 66, which distributed Advanced Wireless Services spectrum. The company won 99 licenses.[14] This will expand their coverage to 27 additional markets. Services have already launched in Oklahoma City,[15] Las Vegas, Nevada,[16] and South Texas along with Beaumont.[17] Service to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., launched in June 2009.[18] It plans to have the remaining markets rolled out by the end of 2009.[19] These markets include:
Baton Rouge
Chicago
Missouri
Milwaukee
Minneapolis
New Orleans
Philadelphia
Richmond, VA
Savannah, Georgia
Seattle
Virginia Beach
This list is not upto date but it is a good majority.

I do get a message from cricKet when I dial, I just want to program it myself. I know the PRL works I've used it on 2 other phones and even activated them over the phone.

Good so you are in a CDMA market my fear was that you were in a AWS market and wasted alot of time.
The easiest way to do is edit all the needed info in the phone load the good PRL, call cricket, add the ESN to your account and presto you should be working. You will have at least basic talk text if all the following is correct. ESN is on account, good PRL on phone, MDN & MIN are correct and in the correct places, You will need to know your SID/NID. That is why *228 is the easy route!
