Yes, pretty much what everyone should do before trying to flash anything new.

Thank you!

If you've already flashed it then no.

Check out zohaibs Xperia T ROM and follow instructions.

On the arc it's CWM, if your bootloader is unlocked use fastboot to flash doomlords latest kernel, it's pre-rooted and comes with cwm. If your bootloader isn't unlocked then check the development section on how to, plus the rest...

You can just use the FlashTools to flash a stock firmware (FTF file).

As in downoload a stock ics rom,plug the phone in flashboot mode and flash it?
Yup. After flashing, you would lose root. To get it back, just flash the superuser binary using recovery from a custom kernel.

I think you have to select "Set on boot". If it doesn't work you can try downloading no-frills CPU control or setcpu and set it there (that's what I did).

Because you're using GB and not ICS, which most mods are based on these days, so update to ICS and try again.

doom kernel v21 is for GB rom.
u cant use it on ICS rom,such as Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0 rom.

You only need to unlock your boot loader the once, you will need to root again though.

i have seen videos on how to update via flash tool but its kinda complicated and still have to flash kernels, is there any other way or an easy way to update my arc? sorry bro for i have so many questions and still i have more.
what rom for GB do u suggest i use for my arc?
Flashing a stock ftf also flashes the included kernel. If you're still struggling with video tutorials or guides then someone else will have to assist as I'm not here to spoon feed for the reason stated in the second line of my guide.

You cant use ICS mods with a GB kernel.
Have you unlocked your bootloader already?

at last my perseverance paid off, lots of reading, searching, downloading and bookmarking and trial and error and came to the point that i almost bricked my ARC. i am now on android 4.0.4 BB-77 with Advanced stock kernel, build# .587 running on xperia ultimate HD 2.0
heres my screenshot.
BTW if there is someone still a noob like me in flashing heres the simplest vid that i found and it work for me, you should have all drivers installed on your pc
do not release the back button until flashing is finished and not all back button are on the right side as seen on flashtool

Same answer as above, Visit this thread to flash any of the Firmware you want http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?start=0&tstart=0
Or since you have a locked bootloader, you can use SUS or PCC to repair your phone
Sorry i post in the wrong thread.

[Q] How to go from Cyanogenmod 10.1 to Sony Xpeia Arc S ICS 4.0.4 Stock rom?

Hey guys. I own the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S . I have rooted it and installed cyanogenmod 10.1.
Now the cyanogenmod is nice but it still has a lot of bugs and it lacks in a lot of aspects in comparison to the stock rom.
Now i would like to go back to the stock rom which was ICS 4.0.4
Is it possible to downgrade from 4.2 to 4.0.4 ?
if yes then a complete tutorial would be highly appreciated for my problem . Thanks in advance.
Use flashtool to go back to stock ICS..4.0.4.. You'll need the .587 ftf file.
If you wanna try a custom ICS rom.. Flash an ICS kernel.. Then the rom..
See the stickys and general section.
