I currently have a pollux_windy running cm10.2 with TWRP as recovery.
How can I return my tablet to 100% stock (Sony ROM/recovery/etc)?
Thanks
Use sonys flashtool Emma to recover stock firmware but be warned it will delete everything in the process.

Hi. I'm on FXP30b, and I need to go back to stock ROM for some test with headset, what's the easiest way to do it? I have backup of stock but from xrecovery(I guess I can't restore it using CWM Recovery). I think the fastest way is to flash Baseband .71 with stock kernel and stock ROM? What about going back to FXP30b from stock, can I just flash FXP kernel and with CWM recovery restore my current backup? Will that work?

the easiest way would be to do a factory reset using your SEUS or PC companion, just click on repair then you can always root it again so you could get back to your current version, just make a back up of what you have now
Use flashtool

You can use something like MyBackup pro to backup your apps & stuff, but you won't get an 'image' of your setup like you will with a Nandroid backup done in CWRecovery. Or you could probably use Kies I guess (not sure about how this works though, have never used Kies for anything).
Best way to go would be to install CWM then do your backup before you go making any other changes to your phone (like flashing a custom rom). This will give you a backup of your setup as close as possible to it's original state (tho obviously rooted).
If you want to go back completely to stock (no root), all you'd need to do would be to download your original firmware from somewhere like Sammobile.com (until Intra gets his stock firmware collection up and running again) and flash that in Odin. Or you could get the latest stock firmware available for your phone/carrier/country with Checkfus (PC app, search for it on here/Google) flash the tarball you download in Odin.

Don't think CWM backs up your stock recovery just everything else, to revert back to stock recovery you would just have to flash stock firmware but lose root in the process.

Just as addition to MisthaBungle:
1. Flash a kernel containing CWM recovery (such as CF-Root).
2. Create a Nandroid backup in recovery mode (or use CWM Manager app if available).
If you want or have to restore your stock system, you can restore this Nandroid backup, but you will have to flash the stock kernel afterwards in order to replace the insecure/custom kernel containing the CWM recovery.
Alternatively you can do it like bubba949 described:
Just download and flash the latest officially released stock ROM to your phone, if you want or have to go back to stock.
I recommend to do a Nandroid backup before flashing a new kernel/ROM, just to be sure that you are able to go a step back in case something does not work.
So you will have an additional option ;-)
Thanks all of you for your assistance. I'm doing well with my phone since root.

Hi everyone,
i have a Xperia P which was working perfectly on stock JB until yesterday... after i rebooted the phone i can't turn it on anymore, it goes past the SONY logo and after that when the boot animation starts it hangs there .... the animation is going normally but the phone wont go past that and turn on :/
I don't know what the problem might be, i just tried reflash latest stock firmware via flashtool (without wiping data and excluding kernel) and it reflashed but the phone still wont turn on :/
I can access CWM recovery normally....
Please anyone help, what can i try?
I've tried now to reflash it again but this time with stock kernel also but still the same
Do a nandroid backup and flash a full stock ftf. Try to redownload the ftf or download it from another source. (I use the official flashtool)

After doing the backup and a full wipe now the phone works again Thanks
Is there any way to take now just the data that i want from the nandroid backup like contacts, apps etc because if i do a restore with the complete backup the phone won't turn on again?
Try nandroid manager from Play Store if you want the paid version dont ask here search the web

I rooted and installed Cyanygenmod 11 on my Xperia Z2 tablet (SGP512) after making a backup of my ROM.
I now want to restore the factory rom, but when I do that the tablet reboots infinitely.
I tried using the Sony Emma tool but it doesn't seem to recognize my device.
I am back to CM11.
Any thoughts on how I can get back to factory state?
