Hi aidb,
First of all, thanks for your quick answer.
As regard the point “unzipped it but did not find the vbmeta.img”, I followed the instructions in the page you linked.
But I got the same error (“Failed to extract payload.bin from the archive”) as mentioned there for " Samsung S9 starlte":
user@host:./payload-dumper-go -o OutputFolder -p dtbo,vbmeta,recovery e-2.5-t-20241108446827-community-a73xq.zip
Please wait while extracting payload.bin from the archive.
2024/12/01 09:42:00 Failed to extract payload.bin from the archive.
Does it help if I list the files in the unzipped image (e-2.5-t-20241108446827-community-a73xq.zip):

As far as I could understand the instructions in page about payload-dumper-go, I could not find any clear instruction about which files in my Samsung A73 image correspond to payload.bin or “dtbo,vbmeta,recovery” or how to get them.
But I noticed the files “dtbo,vbmeta,recovery” can be found in the lineageos A73 builds download page.
Does it help?
