What does "flashed" mean for an eBay mifi device?

I've used a Verizon 3G USB modem for years. Trying to reduce my monthly cost. Looking on eBay I see Mifi units that say they are "flashed". I know what flash memory is, but what does this refer to?...

I don't have a answer to the legality, I have tried searching it. i can say I have one of the ones off of ebay and it work very well. We went up the hill yesterday and I tested all of the devices. Cricket, T-mobile and sprint struggled a lot but the flashed hotspot had a signal the whole time.

Speed wise with a decent signal I can stream you tube and crackle.
