 ### Update For OS Release V.399
 
-If your Portenta X8 is flashed with the OS release V.399 and you have a carrier compatible with Portenta X8 (like Portenta Breakout). In that case, we recommend you update it to the latest image release by following [this tutorial](https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/portenta-x8/image-flashing#flashing-mode-with-carrier).

 An alternative method to update the Portenta X8 with the latest OS image is to use the `uuu` tool (or `uuu_mac` for macOS). This approach is particularly useful for users who have built a custom image or prefer a manual update process. The image files can be downloaded from the [Arduino repository](https://downloads.arduino.cc/portentax8image/image-latest.tar.gz) and extracted into a specific directory.
 
+You can find more details in the dedicated tutorial here: [**How To Flash Your Portenta X8**](https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/portenta-x8/image-flashing).

 Depending on the carrier being used (e.g., Max Carrier, Breakout, Hat, or Mid Carrier), DIP switch settings must be adjusted to enter programming mode or specific commands can be executed via ADB for a barebone setup. Once the board is in programming mode, you can navigate to the extracted image files and run the `uuu full_image.uuu` command to begin the flashing process.
 
 If not using a carrier, ensure the tool is running before cycling the power on the Portenta X8. Upon successful completion, reset the DIP switches or recycle the power to confirm the update.

-If you have followed the __Flashing Mode without Carrier__ method to flash an OS or a custom image, the `uuu` command should be active and seeking the board. While the process is active, please unplug and reconnect the USB-C® cable powering the Portenta X8 to allow entering the programming mode of the boot sequence. It should trigger the standing-by `uuu` task to run the flash process.
