Ok, I see now. Thanks for the info.

I have successfully installed the v4 version, which is the chinese firmware. I did it by pushing the encrypted update to /sdcard/ and triggering it manually, as you advised. It worked.

If I wanted to clean install this version, to be sure to be on a fresh install, would I do that through recovery ? What would be the procedure ?

Also, here is my partition table:
Code:

In the guide for NoteAir4, the boot partitions are named pboot_a and pboot_b.

From the partition table, I guess mine are simply boot_a and boot_b ? I would be sure to not flash the wrong ones after I patched them.

I tried to pull them, I am having the following error
Code:
PS D:\Downloads\OnyxBoox> .\edl.exe /u /r /boot_a boota.img
Operations on UFS raw devices (vs. partitions) requires LUN specified
