So, I did what is explained at the 1st page of this thread.
But if I look at the instructions "The Linux Way", the only difference with the current flash.sh file is to replace "fastboot oem $BLOBS" by "fastboot cache $BLOBS", am I correct?

So, the instructions displayed at the 1st page of this thread were just to put the blobs on a dedicated partition (as you explained in another thread).

Am I correct?
Flashing the blobs to the cache-partition is only the first step of "the linux way". After that you boot into recovery-mode and copy the blobs from the cache to the oem partition (which is not writable from fastboot without the emma-update but writable in recovery mode) and erase the cache partition again.

The instructions at the top of the first page skip the flashing to cache step and directly copy the blobs from the old blob-location to the oem partition.
