Checkout this guide: Extract Stock Boot.img from OnePlus OxygenOS Stock ROM]. Well, it is no hidden secret that Android is an open-source operating system. The beneficiaries of the same are the end-users. From installing custom launchers to icon packs and themes, the possibility stands endless. Then if you take this to the custom development, the option gets further multiplied. Furthermore, if you have an OnePlus device, then it’s the ultimate icing on the cake. The reason? Well, these devices are known to be among the most active players in the tweaking domain. Once you have bypassed the sole restriction (a locked bootloader), you open the floodgates to the plethora of opportunities. For example, you could install custom ROMs, replace the device’s stock recovery with a custom one like TWRP. Along the same lines, you could even gain access to the system partition by rooting it via Magisk. This then allows you to flash tons of Magisk Modules and Substratum Themes. However, there is just one issue that might bug a few users. OnePlus packs in most of its firmware files in payload.bin. Hence if you would like to get a hold of stock partition files such as vbmeta.img, boot.img, or recovery.img, it might prove to be a challenging task. Well, not anymore. Given here are the detailed instructions to extract the stock recovery file from the OnePlus stock OxygenOS ROM.

The Need for an OnePlus Stock Recovery file
So this might be one genuine query that you all may ask- why would we ever need to carry out this task. Well, the question is completely genuine and so it definitely deserves an explanation. The main reason to grab hold of the stock recovery file is when you wish to get rid of TWRP. In other words when you wish to uninstall the TWRP Recovery and get back to the stock recovery that came with your device, then this is the only file that you would need.
But getting this file is no easy task in itself. Though OnePlus does an excellent job in uploading the stock firmware for all its devices over to their website, there might be one concerning factor for some. Although the firmware is uploaded in ZIP, all the required partition files are inside the payliad.bin file. And you can not extract these files via WinRAR/WinZIP or other such tools. So this is why I decided to cover up this article. By performing the below steps, you will easily be able to extract the patyload.bin file of OnePlus ROM and get the desired partition files. So without further ado, here are the instructions to extract the stock recovery file from the OnePlus stock OxygenOS ROM. Follow along for the detailed instructions.
