You're missing the part from 2H to 4H...you only outline 2H or 4H to 4L...here's what my 06 manual says:
MANUAL:
2H ⇔ 4H
Shifting between 2H and 4H can be made with the
vehicle stopped or in motion. If the vehicle is in motion,
shifts can be made up to 55 mph (88 km/h). With the
vehicle in motion, the transfer case will engage / disengage
faster if you momentarily release the accelerator
pedal after completing the shift. Apply a constant force
when shifting the transfer case lever.
Also, as far as I know there are no additional syncros in an electronic transfer case...the only difference is that there is an electric motor pulling the lever vs you pulling it, so it doesn't really line anything up for you.

Alternatively with a manual transfer case (the lever) which is why you generally hear that slight "grinding" noise if you don't follow the exact procedure.
