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!!
hello there
i have changed my rom and now i want to go back to my stock. i tried to use pc companion to restore the phone but when i did i got a message saying that i don't have the official rom (or something like that) and that i can not restore my phone to original. so i tryed to change my rom to the stock manually. but i dont know what .ftf file should i use. i made a try with one and now the phone bootloops and i can not even go to cwm to restore it from there.
please please please help me i am so lost.
You have to use flashtool to flash a stock ftf to your phone. There are some here Any one of them would do.
The one i use is here
the thing is that i have arc s and i am in greece. i guess i just need the official ftf file to flash throu flashtool but i just cant find it anywhere. if anyone knows please share a link.
greek official ics ftf is here

thanks man. i am downloading it right now. i just flashed an ftf file "LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel" and its still bootlooping, i just dont understand why is this hapenning.
+ am i ever gonna be able to use pc companion again anyway? i mean to update my os
i think the problem is you are flashing a kernal instead of a full rom.
also you'll be able to use PC companion and all it's functions when you have a stock rom

This is the rooted version. I used the original FTF from @scifan here.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759110
... to create this stock image with root and recovery included.
Oh, awesome! You should probably add that to the title
Does this have the same issue as the .101 where the XZDR.prop file needs to be replaced in order to access recovery?

lol, It might, I deleted the files in that directory right before turning off my phone to access recovery and flash the new zip. Both recovery's are working great with 4.4.2
Downloading now!

First of ... thanks Crash! You were really fast! I'm downloading right now
What directory do we need to delete the files from? I was not aware of the issue, though now I know why I couldn't access recovery on 101 :silly:

In your SDCard, simply delete the files in the XZDualRecovery or rename the XZDR.prop. If you delete them, they get recreated anyway and fixes that problem you had with 101
Oh, how much I love you right now. Thanks a lot! Will report if I encounter any issue with your files, though I seriously doubt I will.
I'm on unlocked boot loader. Can I just flash the zip and then the ftf file? Thanks

This FTF works to UB and LB or just for UB. Any bugs, something special wich we need to know after flashing?

Locked or unlocked BL isn't important with these files.
Just upload the ZIP to your SDCard and flash it in recovery, then power off your phone without rebooting and flash the stripped FTF with Flashtool and you're done.
Thank you guys!
But for those (like my self) who are not experts on this, could you please, provide a detailed (step by step) guide on how to flash it?
If I already flashed it to kitkat (not rooted), can I do it over this one?
Regards

I flashed it with CWM but TWRP should also work without issues.

My BL is locked, there are easier ways if you have an unlocked bootloader but this will work whether your BL is locked or unlocked. Ive been running it for a few hours now and no issues, root and dual recovery's are working.

If you already flashed 4.4.2 then you do not have root and therefore cannot flash these. You will need to flash back to an older 4.2.2 so you can root and then install recovery. Once you have recovery the steps are:
1 - upload the zip to your SDCard and flash it via recovery
2 - After flash is successful, turn off your phone without rebooting.
3 - Flash the stripped FTF file via FlashTool and boot your phone.
That's it

Hello there,
I see that there are already some threads about that but i'm a little bit confused. Can please someone posts clear instructions and links for the tools needed in order to downgrade my xperia M5 to lollipop?
So you need to download the latest version of flashtool from www.flashtool.net then look up your m5's model (eg. E5603, E5606, E5653) and download the software from http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/resources/categories/2015-xperia-range.73/ here (generic just means not set to a specific carrier and it doesnt matter about the country), then click the lightning button in flashtool and select flash mode then select your software and then follow the instructions
Thanks very much for the instructions. I also combined some guides found on the internet and performed the downgrade. You should download the firmware via xperifirm, bundle it in flashtool and then flash it.
