OxygenOS 12 Update: Cannot find vendor-boot.img to root - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

Hey guys, received my OxygenOS update and I installed it without retaining my root. I want to re-root and I have extracted the payload.bin for the update. I can't find the vendor-boot.img file.
Any help?
I'm running build number 11_C.11 on my IN2011

Don't think it's vendor-boot it's just Boot.img

Have you modified your base system in anyway (i.e. debloated or modified system apks)?
Seems like you're trying to flash an incremental OTA.
I flashed a modified kernel.

search is your best friend
but here are 2 links i found (didnt see anything for Irbil, but you can see whats the latest there)
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N915G
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N915G/
and the latest firmware is 5.1.1 for your phone
may be the most actual link:
http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-N915G
I think better way is to keep the original firmway

Is this the correct file to download? And will this update wipe my phone? (I read that the Android 6.0 update will wipe but it didn't mention if the 5.1.1 update did)

Can't install a security update?

As of this morning I have a security update on pause and everytime I click on it to install it says that it can't install it. I've never had this issue before and I've installed several updates of some xiaomi apps on the past few days. Anyone knows why? – I have a POCO F3

Flashing Firmware without wiping my Pixel 3

Hello all,
if I only want to update the firmware without resetting the smartphone, is it enough to flash the current bootloader and the current radio image via fastboot or do I have to consider anything else?
Many thanks in advance!
