Palm Pre to flash to MetroPCS help please !

[sharmelan]

I live in NewYork City and it seems that i can't flash my phone locally in my state. What is the closest location that i can get my phone flashed on? or is there a do it myself kit or software that i can download to flash it to MetroPCS and then take it to local store and have my IMEI added to for a service.

Since i got this phone off ebay as used, i also have this problem of not having a Palm profile. How do i bypass this? The phone is not on Sprint's network so i can't seem to be able to create a login at the moment. Please help. I can't wait to start using it.
