For the fourth step you have to opt for Stock Firmware CAB, which is going to modify the .cab file extension to a .kdz file; the latter will then be installed on the phone.
Step five is asking you the following: wait for the conversion process of the .cab file to be over.
The place where the said file is now will be shown to you. You should switch the Spirit 4G next and also reboot it into Download Mode by pressing + holding Volume Up and Volume Down while connecting it to the laptop.
