I'm most familiar with Odin via Samdung's mobile devices for flashing Stock ROMs.
What tool is used to flash Stock ROMs on the Xperia Z2?

You also can't install Stock ROMs with stock recovery, neither with CWM...
You'll need Odin.
Mobile ODIN is the only choice...
Also were you referring to stock ICS or Custom ROMs???
If its custom ROMs then you can directly flash using CWM...
But If stock one then you need Odin....else use kies to update..
Press thanx if i Helped..:good:
I'm a newbie as my description says,
Can I know why while flashing the STOCK ROMs or STOCK kernels we use "flashmode" and for custom kernels we use "fastboot" mode ??
Is it because of the file types or boot program recognizes their(Sony's) kernels or ROMs in flashmode !?

You flash ROMs not only stock ROMs but also other ROMs and you fastboot custom kernels and stock kernels.......well correct me if Im wrong....

But we can flash stock kernels (from ftf) via "flashmode" right ?
And custom kernels are flashed via "fastboot" can they also be flashed via "flashmode" ??
I'm doubtful as well !

Ok so flashtool uses flashmode to flash sony stock firmwares (kernel and rom) in form of a .ftf (its a zip actually) file. These files are signed with sony keys.
The fastboot tool is used to only flash the bootimage (kernel). If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash custom kernels without sony signature. If not, you are limited to sonys kernels.

Thats what q&a is for, glad i could help.
I would advise you to take a look at this thread, it is from the xperia s forums but its a nice write up by doomlord from the time when 2012 xperias first came out. These couple of posts (and links) pretty much answer everything...

I have installed CM9.1 in my SK17i. I havent done anything with my phone after flashing this custom rom.
Now i want to go back to stock rom.
My questions are
1. Is it possible to flash a stock rom via clockwork ? If yes then i will need a flashable stock rom. Yes? From where can i get it?
2. If the above is not possible, which is the next option available?
There should be a prerooted rom.zip in the development forums to flash it in cwm
But if I were you I'd just download the stock rom .ftf and flash it using flashtool in flashmode

I did not mean flashtool by Sony, I meant flashtool listed in development section. Try that one

I suggest you search through your device forum and find out. There are other ways though, ODIN is only required to flash stock based ROMs on Samsung devices.
