Download OnePlus Stock Firmware [Updated: January 2026]

The Ultimate Resource for Official OnePlus Firmware Retrieval

Welcome to the definitive guide for acquiring and deploying official OxygenOS stock firmware for your OnePlus smartphone. We understand the critical nature of maintaining your device’s integrity, whether you are recovering from a bootloop, resolving critical software errors, or simply seeking to return your device to a completely factory-standard state. While the native Oxygen Updater application and the built-in System Update mechanism serve the average user well, they possess significant limitations that advanced users frequently encounter.

Our objective is to bridge the gap between the generic over-the-air (OTA) update process and the granular control required for serious device maintenance. We provide direct access to the full OnePlus Stock Firmware (OxygenOS) binaries, allowing you to perform a complete Clean Flash or a Local Upgrade without the restrictions imposed by the standard update mechanisms. This repository is meticulously curated to ensure you have the correct build version for your specific device model, ensuring a seamless restoration process.

Why Oxygen Updater and OTA Updates Are Not Always Enough

When a user encounters a software issue or simply desires the latest firmware, the first instinct is often to utilize the Oxygen Updater or wait for the incremental OTA push from OnePlus. However, as experts in the field, we identify two major drawbacks to these methods that necessitate the use of a full stock firmware file.

The Incremental Update Dilemma

Standard OTA updates, including those pushed via the Oxygen Updater, are typically incremental updates. This means they only contain the code changes required to move from your current specific version (e.g., IN.123) to the target version (e.g., IN.124). If you are a custom ROM developer, a rooted user who has modified system files, or if your device has fallen behind on updates by several months, the incremental OTA will likely fail with an “assertion error” or “failed to verify whole-file signature.” You cannot jump gaps with incremental updates. You require the full firmware zip, which contains the complete operating system image, allowing you to flash over any previous state (provided you are not downgrading Android versions significantly).

The “Dirty Flash” Limitation

The standard System Update method performs a “dirty flash”—it updates the system while preserving user data and some system customizations. While convenient for minor patches, this method is notorious for propagating lingering software bugs. If a user is experiencing random system crashes, battery drain, or UI glitches, a dirty update often fails to resolve the root cause. The only way to guarantee a “clean slate” is to perform a Clean Flash using the full stock firmware package. This involves wiping the Data and Cache partitions entirely, effectively resetting the device to factory conditions. The built-in updater does not facilitate this; it only installs updates, it does not perform a factory reset via the software installation package.

Comprehensive Guide: How to Identify Your OnePlus Device Model and Firmware Version

Before downloading any firmware, precision is paramount. Flashing a firmware package intended for a different variant (e.g., Global vs. EU vs. T-Mobile vs. Verizon) can result in a permanent brick. You must verify your device details using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or the device settings.

Method 1: Using ADB (For Advanced Users)

We highly recommend this method for accuracy. Ensure USB Debugging is enabled on your device.

  1. Connect your device to a PC with ADB drivers installed.
  2. Open a command prompt or terminal.
  3. Execute the following commands:
adb shell getprop ro.product.model
adb shell getprop ro.product.oem.fingerprint

The ro.product.oem.fingerprint is particularly crucial as it dictates the exact software build path (e.g., OnePlus/OnePlus9Pro/OnePlus9Pro:12/...).

Method 2: Via Device Settings

  1. Navigate to Settings > About Device.
  2. Look for the Build Number or OxygenOS Version.
  3. Note the full version string (e.g., LE2123_11_C.65).

Understanding OnePlus Firmware Variants and Codenames

OnePlus releases firmware based on region and carrier. Flashing the incorrect region may result in a loss of connectivity (5G/LTE bands) or unwanted pre-installed applications.

The Importance of Maintaining Stock Recovery

To flash these firmware packages successfully, you must have Stock Recovery installed. If you have TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) or any custom recovery, it may reject the update.zip signature. For the purpose of this guide, we are focusing on users who are either already on stock recovery or are willing to flash the stock recovery image via Fastboot before proceeding.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Flashing OnePlus Stock Firmware

We provide two distinct methods for installing the downloaded firmware. Choose the method that best suits your current device state.

Method 1: Local Upgrade (The Easy Method)

This method is ideal if your device is currently booting normally and you simply wish to update to a newer full firmware version or reinstall the current one without data loss (though a backup is always recommended).

  1. Download the Firmware: Download the full zip file from our repository.
  2. Transfer to Device: Connect your phone to your PC, enable File Transfer (MTP), and move the firmware zip to the root directory of your internal storage (do not place it inside any folder).
  3. Disconnect: Safely disconnect the USB cable.
  4. Open Settings: Go to Settings > About Device > Up to date.
  5. Access OxygenOS Updater: Tap the menu icon (usually three dots) in the top right corner.
  6. Local Upgrade: Select “Local Upgrade”.
  7. Select File: Locate the firmware zip file you just moved and tap on it.
  8. Confirm: The system will ask for confirmation. Tap “Upgrade”.
  9. Wait: The device will reboot and install the firmware. This may take 5–10 minutes.

Method 2: Using ADB Sideload (The Recovery Method)

This method is essential for users who cannot boot into the OS (bootloop) or wish to perform a clean wipe.

  1. Boot to Recovery: Power off your device. Press and hold Power + Volume Down until you see the OnePlus logo, then release. You will enter Stock Recovery.
  2. Connect to PC: Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
  3. Select Sideload: In the recovery menu, select “Install from USB” or “Apply Update from ADB”.
  4. Verify Connection: Open a command prompt on your PC and type:
    adb devices
    You should see a device ID followed by “sideload”.
  5. Execute Sideload: Type the following command:
    adb sideload firmware.zip
    Replace firmware.zip with the actual filename of the downloaded firmware.
  6. Completion: Wait for the progress bar to reach 100%. Once done, select “Reboot System Now”.

Advanced Troubleshooting: When Standard Flashing Fails

Sometimes, flashing a local upgrade or sideload fails due to “verification errors” or “signature failures.” This usually happens if you are downgrading or coming from a heavily modified system.

The “Re-Unlock Bootloader” Warning

If you have an unlocked bootloader, standard OTA updates and local upgrades will often fail. You may see the error message “Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted.”

Handling “Error 7” and Assertation Failures

“Error 7” is a common recovery error indicating that the script in the update.zip does not recognize your device model.

The MSMDownloadTool (The Nuclear Option)

If your device is completely unresponsive (hard brick), standard ADB sideload methods will not work. The ultimate solution for OnePlus devices is the MSMDownloadTool. This is an official tool used by OnePlus service centers. It flashes the entire firmware image directly to the memory partitions, bypassing the recovery environment entirely.

Specific Scenarios for Stock Firmware Usage

We have identified specific user scenarios where downloading our stock firmware is the only viable solution.

Scenario 1: Passing CTS Integrity for Banking Apps

If you have previously rooted your device or modified the system partition, banking apps like Google Pay or Revolut will detect this and refuse to work. To restore SafetyNet and Play Integrity certification, you must completely remove root and flash the stock firmware. A simple unroot often leaves traces behind; a full firmware flash guarantees a clean state.

Scenario 2: Fixing Stuck OxygenOS Updates

Users often report that their device is stuck on the “Optimizing Apps” screen after an OTA update. This indicates data corruption. Flashing the stock firmware via ADB Sideload resolves this loop by repairing the system partition without necessarily erasing user data (though a wipe is recommended if the loop persists).

Scenario 3: Preparing for Custom ROM Installation

Before installing a custom ROM like LineageOS, Evolution X, or our own Magisk Modules, the device must be on the latest stable version of OxygenOS. Custom ROM developers often mandate that you start from a specific base build to ensure compatibility. We provide the necessary base firmware to prepare your device for the custom ROM installation process.

The Relationship Between Stock Firmware and Magisk Modules

At Magisk Modules, we specialize in systemless modification. However, systemless modifications require a pristine base. If your system is corrupted, Magisk may fail to install or pass the “safety net.”

  1. Flash Stock Firmware: Use our guide to return to a clean OxygenOS state.
  2. Install Magisk: Once the stock firmware is booting correctly, you can install the Magisk app and patch the boot image.
  3. Explore Modules: Visit the Magisk Module Repository to enhance your device functionality safely.

We emphasize that stock firmware is the foundation upon which all advanced Android customization is built. Without a stable, official base, system modifications are prone to instability.

Verifying Firmware Integrity and Security

We understand the security concerns associated with downloading firmware files. While we provide direct download links, we highly advise users to verify the integrity of the file where possible.

Changelog and Updates: January 2026 Status

As of January 2026, we have updated our repository to include the latest stable releases for the entire OnePlus lineup, including the OnePlus 13 series, OnePlus 12, 11, and older flagship models.

Final Checklist Before Flashing

Before you proceed with downloading and flashing, please adhere to this checklist to ensure a smooth process:

  1. Backup: Always backup your critical data. While Local Upgrades preserve data, things can go wrong.
  2. Charge: Ensure the device has at least 50% battery.
  3. Storage: Ensure you have enough space on your device for the Local Upgrade method (the file size is usually 3GB+).
  4. Model Match: Triple-check that the firmware codename matches your device.
