Hey guys,
I was wondering if it is at all possible to have a rom installed on a device that is not specific to factory standards i.e. T-Mobile or other rom on a SPV M5000(orange), or an Orange rom on a MDA pro(T-Mobile)?

If so, could there be any difficulties occurring from this action? And what is the procedure involved in this process?

thank you.

The procedure is simple: Flash The ROM(for more instructions on doing this, please use search)!

As for factory standards, use only a ROM compiled for your device class, nothing else will work. What you mentioned(T-mobile ROM on an Orange device), are carrier differences. Carriers only change the default theme, and maybe add some programs, which will vanish during the flash. Otherwise, they just sell the same hardware, with different software.
Flashing a new ROM on top of this will cause no problems, except for invalidating your warranty. Whether this is worth it for you or not, you will have to decide for yourself.

Difficulties: only the general difficulties during a flashing procedure. You can find ways and ways to deal with them on this forum, just use search!

Hope this cleared it up for you, and good luck with the process!
