Hey there,
When trying to get a cat to go in its litter box again, you should try putting the litter box outside in a place you know your cat goes (since it already knows to go outside) to do its duty, then see if it goes in the litter box..if it goes in it, move it back into the house WITHOUT cleaning it. You DO NOT want to clean it, for a cat tends to go to the bathroom in the same spot and if the litter smells familiar the cat will aim for that spot to go. No matter what,put the box in a noticable place for your cat. Another thing, is if you have the box in the house and you see your cat going to the washroom outside,put a bit of litter on the spot where it peed outside and then scoop it back into the litter box or scoop some of its poo in the litter box. That way,the litter box will smell like it, and the cat will be more likely to notice the box and "go" there.
Hope this helps :) Good luck!

place a couple around the house and let him pick one he wants to use. when he goes on the floor say no, and quickly put him in a litter box.
