Umm before you flash... is the network you intend to use the phone on a CDMA network or a GSM network? If it's a GSM network, you have the wrong phone, you need to get a GSM version instead of the CDMA.

If it is a CDMA network... umm you will need to actually have the cell network's op to authorize that ESN into their network which it does not happen here in US but who knows in India.
