How can I flash back to Stock on a H3223?

[ThomasBags]

I am looking to completely flash back to stock, recovery included in order to receive OTA updates again and hopefully update to 9.0.

I am in the US region using the H3223 variant of the Xperia XA2 Ultra, running 8.0.0 with the March 1st, 2018 security update, rooted with the bootloaded unlocked and I have used an alternate recovery on the device before (TWPR).

Would someone be able to let me know what tools I'd need to properly flash the device, and where I could locate stock recovery images, as well as clean images of the stock firmware that I can safely flash to?

Thank you.

I'm sure you probably found the answer by now, but you can go here:

Or you can try the great pie ROMs already made before you flash stock.... There is Lineage, RR, and AOKP under the development threads, just a thought. :laugh:
