I understand this - i've tried flashing two different WM6 ROMs to my device - and everything works well - goes to 100% and says it's succsessful. But then my device boots - the old image/OS? Appearantly it just does a hard reset?

What's up with that?

CID UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE....or better yet start reading the wizard upgrading forum..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1184453#post1184453;)

I thought a locked CID would prevent to flash at all? (error before flashing started). I did unlock CID first - but there was one error, but i think that was when writing the backup. I'll try it again.

Edit: Here is the error:
CopyFileToTFFS(cidunlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.

result=80072745
Your phone is now CID unlocked....

If your phone retains the same OS after you flash then quite obviously something went wrong during the cid unlock and it wasnt cid unlocked at the time of flashing.
This is mentioned many times, let me know if your having trouble finding info.

The error you posted means the CID Unlock didn't work (even though you got a message saying you are now CID Unlocked). Go back to the thread on CID Unlocking (or maybe its the lokiwiz thread) and read about the errors.

Another thing is you haven't told us if you have a G3 or G4 device and what your current IPL / SPL are. that info helps so you don't get taken in the wrong direction.

I got it working now. :) IPL/SPL was 2.x, so i had to downgrade in order to get it working. I got tricked, since i couldn't find anywhere mentioning what happened if CID was locked - only that it wouldn't work to flash if it's not unlocked - and i assumed that by "wouldn't work" they meant that it couldn't get it flashed - but it was flashed without any errors so i assumed that CID lock was not the problem (it did says succsessfull when i unlocked cid also).
