Going back to STOCK?

Hi.
I'm selling my Arc, and I need to change it back to its original state somehow. I need to install SE Gingerbread and delete CWM. How can I do so? It needs to be warranty-ready.
Thanks.

Just re flash using flashtools it will delete root and all traces of mods etc..... The only thing it will not do is relock the bootloader.

You can also relock the boot loader. Search for Xperia relock boot loader in the forum.

though u use flashtool n also relock the bootloader,u wont get the drm rights back. (ie) apps like TrackID still wont work. But that wont be a major problem.

[Q] Stuck at Sony Ericsson splash screen?

I rooted my play, got the CWM installer, did a backup, did a factory reset, then flashed JJ's Hybrid ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573547).
Then I rebooted, but it won't boot. It's just stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" splash screen. I've tried going into recovery, won't work. Also taken the battery out and tried again, but that didn't work either.
I read in another thread that you can't flash with less than 50% charge? Mine may have been at around 48% at the time...
Does anyone know where I went wrong, and more importantly how to get my phone working again?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Because the rom only works with unlocked bootloader

I did not unlock the bootloader...
Know how to fix this?

I think, you have to flash a stock ftf with flashtool

I'm downloading both now, thanks for your help
I think I'll be ok from here, but stick around if I need any more help!

Feel free to ask

Hmmm... I tried to flash it but it said I needed to install the drivers. I installed the drivers, but it still says "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Any idea?

I think I have the same problem. My device is not recognized at all, how am I supposed to use flashtool?

Do you have pc companion and update service installed too? I had the same error with earlier flashtools and installing those two programs seemed to make it work nicely

You could try the Sony Ericsson update service tool: http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
Sorry for the lame link, couldn't find an "official" one, but can confirm the above works. I flashed mine yesterday back to stock with it.
