Am trying to a run this piece of code, and it keeps giving an error saying "String argument without an encoding"
ota_packet = ota_packet.encode('utf-8') + bytearray(content[current_pos:(final_pos)]) + '\0'.encode('utf-8')
Any help?

You are passing in a string object to a bytearray():
bytearray(content[current_pos:(final_pos)])
You'll need to supply an encoding argument (second argument) so that it can be encoded to bytes.
For example, you could encode it to UTF-8:
bytearray(content[current_pos:(final_pos)], 'utf8')
From the bytearray() documentation:
The optional source parameter can be used to initialize the array in a few different ways:
- If it is a string, you must also give the encoding (and optionally, errors) parameters;
bytearray()then converts the string to bytes usingstr.encode().

byteObject = b'\x18,\xa3\xf0A\x93*<bAd\x15K.A\xba'
print(byteObject)
print('-----------asbytearray----------')
print('-------As a string------------------')
o = base64.b64encode(bytes(str(byteObject), 'utf-8'))
print(o.decode("utf-8"))`enter code here`
print('--------Nonce as a string------------------')
(ota_packet + content[current_pos:final_pos] + '\0').encode('utf-8')?
