I have been searching around the forums for help on reflashing a stock rooted ROM for the Xperia Arc.
I'm kinda new to rooting, and recently flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1 onto my Arc. I would now like to return back to a rooted stock SE ROM - what is the easiest way to achieve this?
Sorry if this is a double post
Any help appreciated
Have a read of the stickys - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=963
Thanks
Managed to reflash the Stock ROM
I go crazy and don't find anything
Can you please give me a little more details on how you did it? For me no boot.img is working with the rooted image I have to my phone.
Thanks a lot!

Hi guys,
I wonder if anyone could help me. I am a not so experienced user who managed to unlock the bootloader and and root my ARC S (4.1.B.0.587).
But after that I destroyed my ARC by flashing a wrong system file with fastboot! Dont ask me why I did that it was stupid I thought I was doing something else. The result is that my ARC stops at Sony logo.
I searched the XDA site and I found this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813414 where a user has posted a pre-rooted system.img. I flashed this system file but no luck
Can anyone please help?

Which build are you trying to root with this method. If you are on FW 244, this will not work. I think it was a root method for 4.1.2 (cant remember which build) and not 4.2.2
On 244, you need to flash the Kernel of FW. 423, root using DoomLord's latest tool and flash the Kernel back to FW. 244.

What's the firmware of your device? I can make a little tuto for you.
Hmm, I had put the xda links of everything needed to root. I didn't know it was an illegal thing to do on the forum. Half my post got deleted.

Oh damn, well, you know about flashtools?

what about flashtools, they are considered illegal or something?
I had a link pointing to the 423 and 244 FTF and the xda thread from DoomLord where the root tool can be found.
So I thought myself fairly competent with roms and such as this is my third smartphone and i've never had that many big errors before.
I used the universal root method and FreeGee and used stock with root for a few weeks, was good. Today I downloaded the CM 10.1 unofficial rom and the gapps and did a TWRP backup. I tried to copy it from my phone to my PC and USB HD using both Linux and Windows. Whenever it got to the data part it would error, I couldn't even rename it. As far as I know, this backup may be no good. I did this backup three full times, eventually using just boot, system and data.
I wiped data, system, cache and dalvik. I installed the CM10.1 rom and tried to boot. sticks on the LG boot screen. I can get into the recovery, tried to do the restore, said successful. Still sticks on the boot screen for LG.
Did I miss some step? At this point I'd be glad going back to stock.
Can you boot to download mode?

I'm not sure where that is. Can you provide a link? Also I can get into Recovery/twrp. I am frustrated that CM won't install for me. I checked my TWRP backup folder, there is just data and system, and I need boot to restore that, right? So frustrated that the backup is bunk and CM won't install properly. I can't find any clear instructions on the process anywhere on the forums. Just wipe, install CM and then boot, right?

Thank you SO MUCH! I have been looking all day for a viable option and this is the first thing that has looked good so far. You're an angel! Or a secular hero figure, if that floats your boat. Either way, you rock!

How do I solve this now?
so means your phone isn't dead ,so after you flash can't boot, I think you had better to check if you are unlock your boot loap or not, If you have unlocked, I think need to flash new boot for your rom, not only kernel.

right now ,you can flash customer rom,just choice what you want from the furom.Just before you flash the rom,follow the information which the developer said.
Another way is to get to customer service center.
