You cannot flash the device, however you can go into Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. That clears the device, and a restore as new will do that as well. You will need to turn off Find My iPhone as well if you are trying to sell the device.

The erase all content and settings option on the iPhone is a secure erase of all content and settings - everything but iOS and the included apps.
