Installation modes

Format all + Download: This is the option that involves more risks, it does not have to be used lightly, only in very specific cases where we know why we are doing it. What it does is a complete formatting of the entire device, and it removes all the content that is in all the partitions. When you delete everything, it also deletes the NVRAM partition, so all the IMEIs information is lost and it may be difficult to recover it later. The best thing if you have to choose this option is that you make a backup of the NVRAM partition.

Firmware Upgrade: This is the one that we have to select when we want to make a change of ROM. An example of this would be when we want to change the Android version.

Download Only: This is the most used and recommended in most cases, and serves to make updates that are the same type of ROM base system. This could be useful for example if we have a version of Android and we want to flash to it.
