This option will find on version SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.0, A free tool have safety flashing! If you a not sure if the ROM you use is same version of your android device example is you have cherry mobile spin 3G model, This unit have 3 version V1, V2, V3, Each Version is similar firmware but different loader and boot,

Added knowledge 3: Download Button

Download option result. There are tree option before download start in selection may affect result to device here are below..

1. Format + Download

2. Download Only

3  Firmware upgrade

The Format + download if you select is clearing all nand/eemc partition also such as security,nvram,calibration data. meaning if you flash program the device in this condition the IMEI and baseband erase, make it sure you have backup this file to restore, The other way to fix if you dont backup is to using PAID Tools like sigma box ! be care full to select this option

Download only is to insert ROM file without clearing calibration security data, its clear only userdata.

Its safeway option.

Firmware Upgrade is to insert ROM file which is per partition erase, its clearing also userdata or change address partition by preloader address.
