Before I resigned applied for COS to F1 during Aug 2015, however my F1 got approved only on July 2016.
I am on OPT currently and my PERM is approved, can I get my H1B back by using the recapture time outside the country?

Eh? If you quit your H-1B job, you can't get your H-1B back period. A new employer (or the same one for that matter) can apply for a new H-1B for you. I'm pretty sure you're going to have to start over (for instance, cap issues) that you wouldn't have if you tried to change from one H-1B to another directly.
