I have got a C6833 which i have unlocked, rooted and installed custom rom. I would like to go back to stock but am not sure which rom to take.

to go back to stock you will need to flash a FTF while in flashmode (volume down key when connecting the powered off ZU to the PC) with flashtool

I have a rooted SE wt19i with CWM recovery installed and yesterday I wiped all the data, cache and system files to install Minimul Triumph ROM.
When I rebooted my phone it was stucked at the First Sony Ericsson screen and didnt boot into recovery. I have a Backup On My SD.
Please Help
have you tried flashing back to the original firmware using flashtool?
Yes i DId try but it doesnt even go to flash mode
Edit:I finally managed to go to flash mode. I flashed the firmware succesfully thanks kevin
First, I cannot find that kind of ROM for WT19i, could be wrong ROM to install. You can only install ROMs, that are built for your phone.
Second, you must have custom kernel to boot into custom ROM. Stock kernel only works with stock ROM. First install custom kernel(there's plenty of them in Development section, like X Kernel, Rage Kernel, bbooff's kernel etc) and then via CWM install custom ROM(install from sdcard).
Most custom kernels include CWM.
Please help me

If it connects in flashmode just use pcseus to repair the phone or use flashtools to flash stock fw back on it

I installed CWM for testing a ROM from XDA.
Now I can't connect my device to the PC and it looks like I can't get in flashmode.
PC Companion isn't recognizing my phone.
I tried several cables and charging works - it even prepares the internal storage (notification bar) but I don't see my Xperia P in Explorer and in PC Companion.
It's strange, that the issues came since I installed CWM.
If I uninstalled it, would I get into flashmode or see my device in Explorer? I don't really like the ROM I flashed, I always get force close in several apps.
Also, when I wanted to flash with CWM I made a "X" for backing up my data. Can I restore my system like it was before flash? (While flashing, there were some messages like "backing up" or sth)
And last question: When I flashed CWM I got a message about ROOT, I had to chosse if I want it or not. I choosed yes, but it said "this cannot be undone". I googled and noone posted this ROOT question before. Is this normal?
102 views and noone knows how to do that?
U cant unflash a CWM unless u go back to your stock firmware as CWM comes with different kernels. And the reason why PC and SEUS wont recognize your phone is because you have unlocked it and rooted it with custom kernel. I assume you are using GB coz i faced the internal storage problem with GB stock and the mtp process which is actually stupid of sony. Anywayz, U need to flash the stock firmware again to make those work again plus if you dont want the CWM too. But if you just want to keep your root but no CWM then u got to reflash your stock firmware, go to fastboot mode, flash a stock kernel (GB and ICS have different kernels which u can find over xda), then fastboot your stock kernel again. This procedure will let you keep your root but wont use custom kernels a.k.a CWM. If you are into ICS then u can use the custom kernels coz it wont do any damages or hiccups while u try to connect your phone to PC.
FOR SD CARD MOUNTING OVER GB : SD CARD MOUNTER FOR Xperia S,P,SOLA (GB ONLY)
DOOM KERNEL :DOOMKERNEL ONLY FOR STOCK GB
ADVANCE STOCK KERNEL : ADVANCE STOCK KERNELS FOR ICS

I personally hate PCC. You can always find the latest firmware within hours of its first release, so its pretty easy to get and flash it back using flashtool easily. By the way, do check the links i provided later on my previous comments. Might help you

I liked PC Companion because it doesn't void the guarantee but now it's ok
And thanks for the links, I didn't notice them the first time I read your post
I was able to install the stock SXP ICS ROM using flashtool on my pc but now I want to go back from a custom ROM to the stock because I am having some problems. Unfortunately I am at uni now and only have my laptop and I cannot go back to stock using flashtool. The only difference between my PC and laptop is that the PC has a 32 bit OS and the laptop has a 64 bit OS. This is what must be causing the problem. I have tried numerous solutions but non has workes.
I am stuck with a defective custom ROM and I like to request that someone please flash a stock ICS ROM using flashtool on their SXP (world version), make a back up using CWM and upload on here so I can go back to stock ICS.
I would really appreciate this.
Thanks
anyone please?

Try this press button continously( volume up or down i don't know about sola but in xperia u cwm can access using down button )
If this does not help then flash the stock ftf file using flashtool and then root again

yes you can. get a kernel compatible to the rom you flashed.
flashing stock rom thru flashtool might be a better idea tho. then start again from scratch, make sure you got it right this time.

Do i need to check "No final verification"?
Okay, i just stated up flashtool and started flashing the .54 firmware, Checked no unkown sources. Started flashing. Flashtool finished and said i need to reboot my phone, what i did: Disconnected USB cable, waited 1 minute and booted up phone... Now i just got the "old" bootanimation... and still bootloop (from the rom in the first post) so its looks for me that flashtool "didnt flashed" my phone i also tryed sony update service but thatone said it cant flash .54 because i got constom firmware....
I got it! if flashed ONLY THE KERNAL from .54..... Who has a good .tft of the whole stock rom? And how can i charge my phone when it is in bootloop? i think my phone is almost empty now...

Try to rurn it off firt, power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations, see if it charges then.
If you have used PC Companion before, start repair, and wait till file download is complete and PCC ask you to connect in flash mode, close PCC and built the FTF with flashtool.

flashtool alows full stock restore, you cant do with cwm because there isnt a stock rom avaliable for flash
