There are basically two types of Flashing which are Full and Partial Flash. Full means rewriting the memory and structure of the operating system of the smartphone to flashable Read Only Memory or ROM. A Partial Flash is simple reprogramming for the phone in order for it to handle a different carrier.
There are different ways to do this for various models and brands of smartphones. So basically, there are flash files for Nokia phones and also from others that you need to download in order to proceed with flashing it. You can look up each model online and have the appropriate files downloaded.
A professional or even a non professional but with adequate knowledge can do this procedure. The non pro usually has done the right research and experiments in order to perform this process properly. This process has a risk for the memory to be deleted as well as the OS, so it is best to get help from the right people. You might get a piece of brick instead.
The reason why people do this to their phones is for it to be able to have custom applications or programs to be installed or for it to be able to use a different carrier. Flashing should be done carefully because it might cause damage and inaccessibility of the phone if done casually without even following proper instructions. Follow them in order to prevent damage.
Determine if it is CDMA or GSM. Code Division Multiple Access phones are flashable unlike Global System for Mobile Communications devices. The difference is that the first is not Subscriber Identity Module capable or basically it cannot hold a SIM card.

Use a USB cord to attach the device to the PC and download the software which is compatible with the specific model. You can find these online and you need to make sure it is the right one in order to prevent the risk of having it damaged because of incompatibility issues. The partial needs to have a CDMA network as the transfer carrier as well.
Uncompress the files you have downloaded and read the instructions carefully and make sure you understood them before carrying on with the procedure. The process will take around fifteen to twenty minutes to finish. Each device has a different setup, so it is quite impossible to provide detailed instructions, but these are just some general ideas.
Make sure to have the drivers complete and updated or else the flashing would not work. And you need to know what kind of flash you want to have for the phone, either the full or partial one since the software will be asking those.
