FP4 Android major version upgrade (dev build) instructions/documentation is missing

  • /e/ version: -
  • Device model(s): FP4

Summary

@manojnair @rhunault

FP4 Android major version upgrade (dev build) instructions/documentation is missing, also the files to use for updating are not provided.

An upgrade guide was available here: https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP4/upgrade

It was removed because it was not correct as it described the default process of sideloading flashable zips via recovery to be retrieved from here: https://images.ecloud.global/dev/FP4/

However that is not applicable for the files available for download under https://images.ecloud.global/dev/FP4/ which are not flashable zips but zips containing scripts, android SDK and few flash scripts for initial installation:

What is the expected correct behavior? Docs should be existing and files for upgrade should be available for download.
