the only way you will hurt your phone flashing roms is by flashing a rom that is not made right so wait for some feedback on a rom before flashing and you should be good

technically... flash memory wears down after every rewrite. There's a limit to how many rewrites, all depending on the quality of hardware HTC used.

Flash is rated at 100,000.

Flash should last well beyond the expected lifespan of these devices, even if you are a flashaholic.

I thought it was 10,000 Either way, you have very little chance of damage even if you flash 10X a day for months.
