Two of the four stickies at the top of this forum deals with flashing ROM

The first about flashing HardSPL:

HardSPL essentially write protects the boot section of your phone. It is good insurance if you plan to flash, as it does not get overwritten by ROMs. That way, you can recover from any problems faced.

The second deals with unlocking your phone. Most telephone companies lock the phone such that it will only work with their SIM cards and ROMs. This section unlocks it.

Do read both threads completely as any problems you might come across has been presented and answered before.

After that, read the thread again...

Happy flashing
