Hi all,
I rooted my XP (using zergrush) and removed some bloatware. Now my headset speaker is giving me issues and I want to unroot in case I have to send it back to Verizon. The problem is that the stock ROM files all seem to be hosted on MultiUpload.com - which is down. I found a system.img file, but I don't know how to use that. I have CWM installed so I could restore a stock backup and then unroot, or I could use FlashTool with an FTF file.
Does anyone know where I can get either a backup file or an FTF file for 2.3.3 for the r800x? Or a simple way to use the system.img file?
Thanks!
Well, R800x doesn't have a stock rom for 2.3.4 actually, only UK roms do. Pretty sure system.img can only be flashed via fastboot but I could be wrong
Thanks for the correction, Jacklebott - I should have known that because the file I was trying to download from MultiUpload was 2.3.3...
Fastboot is where you have to download the SDK and set up drivers and such, right? If so, I was hoping there was an easier solution, but I can work on that if I have no other choice...
Well, fastboot needs an unlocked phone, so if you only have root it's not gonna work. Not sure if you can flash system.img as a backup file via recovery when locked though, could be worth a shot

To fix your R800x, you will need to Return to Stock:
1. Download Flashtool from here: Flashtool. This gets installed to C:\Flashtool.
2. Download the stock ROM ftf from here: R800x 2.3.3 Full 3.0.1.E.0.88 FTF. (This is on MediaFire, not MultiUpload.) You will need to unzip that file to the C:\Flashtool\firmwares folder.
Then just follow the instructions for Flashtool found here and you'll be back to stock in no time. As long as your PC recognizes your phone when you plug it into the USB cable, you shouldn't need anything else.
You can can find this and more useful information in my guide found at the top of the Q&A section here [GUIDE] R800x owners - You got Custom ROM questions? I've got Answers!
Please be sure to READ AND FOLLOW the instructions provided on each of those threads. I bear absolutely NO RESPONSIBILITY if you do something to damage your phone.
netizenmt, you, sir, are a god among men...
Many thanks!! I made a few missteps but I was able to get it back to stock pretty easily with those files and your instructions. At least now if it keeps messing up, I can send it back to Verizon to be replaced...
Thanks again!!

In HTC devices, they have their RUU (Rom Update Utility) for reverting to stock. The RUU is a single exe file which restores the phone to stock firmware. In Sony, we have the firmwares in the form of FTF (Flash Tool File) files which require a software called Flashtool by Androxyde to flash the FTF file to your phone. Also, flashing of FTF files is done in download mode (volume down and a green led) and not in fastboot (blue led). Hope this helps.
I know a lot of people are going to tell me to use Flashtool BUT I would like to know if I can restore a stock rom via creating a Flashable zip from the FTF. I know a method but it only works with phones from pre 2012, and of course this is 2017, so that is no help. Thank you!
It's easier to just use the Flashtool. If you need a good FTF, I can send you one.
