Code:

edl /lpoke3.bin
edl /w /precovery noteair-rec.img /z
adb reboot recovery

It boots into default recovery, so I add

Code:

edl /w /pmisc misc.img

(misc file from the jdread2 to poke3 thread)
Screen turn blank.

Code:

adb shell
#start autoupdate

Screen says waiting for drive. Stick my drive with decrypted update.zip into it. However, it says failed
I attached the log file. Could you have a look?

That update was successful.
But what did you use?
I just pulled the latest NoteAir update and it was using the old script stuff and not payload.bin.

Code:

Model:  NoteAir (English)
Finger: ONYX/NoteAir/NoteAir:10/2023-12-12_21-24_3.5_4687b1901/12699:user/dev-keys
Link:   http://firmware-us.boox.com/6859d1b33b0669ee377ebdcc1c20c7c5/update.upx
Size:   1,707,033,746
MD5:    6859d1b33b0669ee377ebdcc1c20c7c5

Something is screwy here.
The update that I'm looking at is nothing like what your update did.

Sr for the late update. I used the same update.upx file as the link you provide. I downloaded it again, check md5 sum, no problem. Flashed it again, the same result. I think there is no problem with the update.zip file I use

Is there Anything I can do?

The autolog.txt that you posted was for a new style update, not your device.
How this happened, I don't know.

Take your update zip and replace META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with the updater-script inside this zip.
