As a Noob i think i have what i need. Please tell me im wrong.

to put windows mobile 6.5 an my newly acquired htc Vogue i have spent the last week reading various forums and have tryed to learn as much as i can from them. i am completely new at phone modding so cut me just a little slack. i have seen many walkthroughs done but none quite spoke my language so this is the best i came up with, a hybrid if you will. i havent done anything yet other than download the files listed in this walkthrough. so please if you will tell me anything im missing, or need to be prepared for, as i like to be as prepared as possible.

i have flashed a couple routers with third party firmware in my life so im not all that stupid but the concept of bricking this phone freeks the crap out of me.
thak you for any time you spend helping me

here goes
*pulled mostley from codybear's walkthrough*

2.31 Unlocker
NFSFANs WinMO 6.5 ROM
DCD Carrier cab (and copy it to your SD card as you may need this after the flashing is done.)
Extract both 2.31 Unlocker and NFSFANs WinMO 6.5 ROM into separate folders

On phone: Press and hold the Power button+Camera Button and Stylus in the reset hole
until the 3 color screen comes up and it says serial, now plug in your cable and it should change to USB.

go into the Unlocker folder you created and doubleclick on the RomUpdateUtility.exe (RUU.exe)

Follow the steps on the desktop monitor.(You might get some errors about sleep4.exe – don’t worry about it) Just keep hitting enter and it will go away after the 4th or so time.
At some point the program is going to tell you to disconnect the phone disconnect it and count to 10 -Plug it back in, does it say USB again
hit a key on the keyboard per the on screen directions.

Eventually the Phone will reboot, let it and it will be unlocked (When completed successfully it will show version 2.31 CoKe and your device will be unlocked.)
let it start up and do its thing, when it’s done

go back into bootloader mode again with the cable disconnected
(remember power+camera+stylus)
and it had better say SERIAL again.. now go ahead and plug in the cable and it should change to USB.
Point of intrest start
go into the ROM folder and double click the RUU.exe follow the directions that come up on the screen...
Once its done and the phone reboots, wait...wait…wait… Orange screen
Follow the drections to go through the setup, don't worry about it being too accurate and all as it is about to be erased anyway...
Point of intrest end
let the autorun happen once windows starts and it will reboot on its own again.

-HARD RESET imminent -

as it is booting up again when there is a black screen
- press and hold the red button+green button+stylus in reset hole (known as a Hard reset)
until the screen turns gray - follow the directions again *note*Enter is silver button in center of buttons
and when the progress bar moves all the way to the right, press the call key (the green one).
it will restart and now go ahead and do the setup and customizations and do them right this time as your hanging onto them.

So to the storage card where you copied it that DCD Carrier Cab tap on it and run it.
It will install all the Carrier goodies to make your life easy

"I forgot to mention that before flashing this rom,
upgrade your radio to a 3.xx.xx version! (on Sprint with the 3.42.30 radio with no issues whatsoever)"*
*End

tell me what you think.
