[Q] Reflashing Stock ROM

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!

[Q] Sony Xperia Arc S won't boot up.

When I try to boot it up (using the power button of course), the LED above the USB connection place flashes green, and the phone vibrates once and does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Your question is too general. Did you do anything to your phone?

I found the issue; can't use SEUS after you unlock the bootloader. Thanks anyways! All I did was flash a rom that relocked my bootloader (?? don't know the terms), and then run SEUS again.

you cant relock a bootloader with a rom.. you need help fro this thread. download a ftf firmware and flash t using flashtool so that the phone boots p and then check the bootloader status .....later depending on it, flash a custom kernel and rom (optional though recommended)

Well, there are scripts available that can relock the bootloader...
Link-in's method works too.

Whoops, guess I meant I flashed an FTF... lol. Something I found on YouTube.
But yeah, I've run into another problem; while rooting the phone (using this guide over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957), I think I've bricked my phone again. I didn't enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources, so it got stuck at Daemon Started Successfully. Haven't been able to boot into my phone since. Sorry if this problem has been solved before, wasn't able to find the solution while searching that thread.'
EDIT: ...sorry again, managed to stumble my way through and revive my phone.

You need to fastboot flash the ROM's boot.img. As every unlock thread says, you need to do so for every time you flash a ROM.

[Q] [Help!] Stuck on sony logo and cannot boot into CWM

I couldn't find any threads that are helpful to me.. so i had to post a new one.
I have a Xperia arc with lock bootloader. I flashed the lt18i 4.1.B.0.587 one day and installed Xperia Ultimate HD. I decided to go back to stock rom because UHD didn't have the features I expected.. so i flashed the lt18i ftf again via flashtool.i rooted it and installed CWM. Everything works fine.
Then i tried to restore a backup that was made before i flashed lt18i firmware.( my phone was on lt15i 0.587 stock rom at that time)
I tried to restore it on LT18i firmware to have more free space and it actually succeeded. But when i reboot it to homescreen it's just keep saying "keypad force close". i thought it was because the backup was based on lt15i firmware and it's not compatible with 18i firmware...
so i flashed lt15i .587 firmware but i exclude system because i still wanted to have 420MB space and i thought i should do it in this way ( i didn't know if it works or not) unfortunately, i was wrong and the phone stuck on sony logo.
the story hasn't ended. I flashed the LT15i .587 firmware again and this time the phone booted successfully. I rooted and install CWM as i did before.. i rebooted my phone and when sony logo appeared i kept on pressing volume down key but it couldn't get into CWM and was stuck on sony logo.I had to pull out the battery . After that i booted my phone again without trying to get into CWM and it succeeded. So basically everything works fine except stuck on sony logo when i try to boot in CWM.
I need CWM for installing good mods and backup and all kinds of stuff but i couldn't work it out and couldn't find a thread about it. I don't wanna unlock bootloader as well. Please help !!
p.s sorry for bad English and the story seems too long and a bit confusing... i just wanna make it more detailed...

Dude, at the aame time youre flashing kernel. Thats the issue. Just flash lt18 ftf and stick with it. It should work fine. Dont revert back to a lt15 backup, because of kernel incompability.

Your only option is Flashtool if SUS does not work...
Flash the ftf file again, wipe everything and tick the "no final verification" checkbox.

This is really a strange problem indeed! I had the same issue on LB! But mine dint go to CWM and booted directly into device! I tried all sorts of solutions but in vain! At last, I just flashed entirely from the beginning.
1. FTF (Format everything)
2. Root
3. Recovery
And everything is still fine after that!

Whatever you encounter when flashing custom Rom or mods
Go to flashtool and flash back the stock firmware and root and install again .
It always effective

That's exactly what i've done.
I flash the LT18i 4.1.B.0.587 ftf( entire rom) and rooted my phone with E-root, install CWM with cmd... and it works fine if i don't try to boot into CWM. But if i press the volume down button repeatedly when sony logo appears, blue light turns on...the screen gets brighter, and then blue light disappears, and just stuck on it.

Why don't you root or install cwm via any other available methods?

i did. x-part didn't work. recoveryx didn't.
About root, i tried to use the method which downgrade the kernel first and then upgrade it later. It worked. But still no CWM.

[Q] DooMKernel v21?

Hello everyone
I wanted to ask first before i do anything wrong
My device is on 4.4.4, 14.4.A.0.108,
so i want to install cwm recovery, and for the record I'm rooted and bootloader is unlocked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743227
I found this kernel and i wanted to know if it's going to work on my device or do i have to downgrade to 14.3.A.0.757?
And thank you

It doesn't work with 108, you'll have to downgrade.

No it'll cause bootloop.
You need to wait for doomkernel v22 which will be compatible with fw .108
