Yep! Solid green, no flickering!
I tried the unbrick guide but then I got to this step:
Initiate flash
While in the ufs sub-directory of the image release, run the following qdl command in order to flash the device:
$ sudo qdl --debug --storage ufs --include . prog_firehose_ddr.elf rawprogram_unsparse0.xml rawprogram1.xml rawprogram2.xml rawprogram3.xml rawprogram4.xml rawprogram5.xml patch0.xml patch1.xml patch2.xml patch3.xml patch4.xml patch5.xml
and it would say waiting for device and I left that on the screen because it said that the qdl flash will take some time. I had to end the process because it was going on 4+ hours of waiting for device. I restarted it and it was still taking hours. I never got to the point of seeing the completion output.
when I would run this $ lsusb the starling would not show up.
