Step 5: Extract OnePlus 10T Payload.bin
Once you’ve downloaded the firmware, you should extract it to convenient location on your PC. DO this will give you a couple of files, including the payload.bin. If you didn’t know this already, OnePlus packs all its partition IMG files inside the payload.bin files, so you’ll need to extract it first. Once the extraction is complete, you should transfer the boot.img and vendor_boot.img files to your device. On the other hand, you should transfer the vbmeta.img to the platform-tools on your PC.
