Guys , some people are reporting that they are unable to revert to stock rom after flashing custom rom.
If you want to save your phone , then i highly recommend you to make a complete backup before flshing stock rom
go to cwm recovery and select backup/restore then backup (it will make your stock rom backup)
whenever you want to revert , go again to clockworkmod recovery and select restore under, backup/restore option
now last and most important thing to run stock rom ---> flash stock kernel using fastboot method
first grab stock kernel to do that , download your phones stock firmware from here = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10885406#post10885406
using 7zip extract kernel.sin file from .ftf firmware file
connect your phone in fastboot mode and run this command
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
I'm doing it again and again without any problem.. just be sure to flash stock kernel before flashing stock rom.
thanks, i will try this method too
first flash stock kernel , then using flashtool flash firmware , am i right ?
Stock kernel (kernel.sin) is included in the package (of official stock firmware). So everytime you flash an official stock firmware, kernel.sin is also flashed. No need to flash kernel.sin before flashing stock firmware. Correct me if im wrong.
I also think same , i tried that method by noooooob and it worked too

yes you have to unlock boot-loaders first
i recommend to unlock by this method = http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
if you want to install clockwork mod recovery then follow this = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384200
Install CWM without unlocking bootloader
You don't need to unlock the boot loader to install CWM.
Follow instructions here to root First

Install CWM using this tool

This is how I did it on my Ray
I always considered flashing with Wotanserver to be the best way to go back to stock. It basically takes care of everything. Sure, you'll have to root again afterwards, but that's not exactly very hard.
wotan server is also a good choice

download firmware which you have before installing custom rom, then flash it using flashtool.
Hello plz create rom stock Gt-S7275r. Zip flash via recovery
Me no pc :'(
My ace 3 blocked bootloader acces recovery.
I did a nandroid backup but didn't there it will be in yaff2 format and with no boot.img.
I installed CM so flashed CM's Boot.img which has CWM in it.
So want I want is a Stock Boot.img with or without CWM or a way to extract boot.img from the backup
CWM for our devices doesn't do a backup of the boot.img. If you want the stock kernel (of the stock rom) flash the kernel.sin (either find it somewhere or use the one in a firmware.ftf) using flashtool and root the phone. If you want you can install cwm using the xparts app from playstore. These are many steps, but the easiest way would be to flash a prerooted kernel for the stock rom

I have my Z2 with Stock ROM and UBL, I want a custom Recovery to flash Cyanogenmod or any custom ROM, how I can get it? Can I flash the TWRP FOTA image by fastboot ? (I tried do it but on CWM only says "waiting for device" what I'm missing?) Please help. TIA

Have you searched? These seem like fairly basic questions. Possibly questions that may have been answered in a kernel thread, recovery thread and a cm12 thread.
Search before post dude !
Use fastboot in flashtool, how ?

Ok I finally flashed the recovery TWRP but cannot join to recovery I press the vol+ when phone is booting but it simply bott normally
You need a custom kernel, try flashing Advanced Stock Kernel by AndroPlus
Pressing Power key during boot will tell the kernel to load fotakernel(recovery)
This one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3005894 that Kernel includes a Recovery? I only want flash a custom ROM (no stock) and forget Stock

Well flash this so you can use fotakernel so you can use fotakernel to flash a custom rom
Thanks, I'll flash the Advanced Stock Kernel and later I'll try to install Cyanogenmod or Resurrection Remix, hope it works.
I wonder how i can remove root and custom recovery. Do i just flash a ftf with flashtool?
i flashed an orignal ftf firmware and it seems something is wrong. I cannot access recovery. Other than that lost root and the devices seems fine.
Any ideas on why i cannot access recovery?
Stock Ftf has removed recovery
