I bought my Ds in france and I see that we can do lot of things with it
I want to know if we can do it on all DS not like PSP with different firmwares

To put it in rough PSP equivalent terms:

Most Nintendo DS systems ship with the equivalent of 1.50 firmware; you just need a PassMe and either a GBA Movie Player or a GBA flash card. The "iQue DS" (China only) and the red Jump Super Stars DS (Japan only) ship with the equivalent of 1.52 firmware: it's been cracked, but just barely, and not publicly nor in an idiot-proof manner, and the likely form in which the crack will be distributed is through a downgrader to 1.50 (i.e. FlashMe).

Biggest difference is that unlike PSP games, Nintendo DS games can't force a firmware upgrade on you before they'll run.

And how do you flash your device when the old method of starting homebrew (and therefor flashme) doesn't work?

The new unreleased version of PassMe does work with the new firmware, but it requires a GBA cart with SRAM (not a GBA Movie Player), so it's likely to be used primarily with FlashMe.
