What version of android do you have (settings -> about phone)?
if you want to get to a point to run custom roms you can do the follow:
go to use this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Download : Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6
and follow the instructions under that link.
One change to the instructions: uncheck f.reset time
You can then flash an EC05 ROM of your choice
After you do that go here for a flashable zip to upgrade your modem to EC05

[Q] Need help on rooting my Xperia Arc Lt15i

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone help me out in rooting my Xperia Arc Lt15i?
I'm trying to use the SuperOneClick to root my device but I don't know how, it so much complicated. Even through I followed the steps in online but I stuck in the middle of the steps. Does anyone could kindly please post up any good instruction for me to go on for the root process?
*I have downgrade it to 0.42
I'm a new android user.
okies i'm going to assume you want to have the latest version of android OS on your arc
1. Download a ready to root ftf for your Lt15i. Here is one
2. Use flashtool to flash the ftf onto your phone. There are a lot of tutorials on youtube, but here's one I thought was great.
3. Download this and unzip it. Put your phone in debugging mode and plug the phone to the PC. Run the 'RunMe.bat' file and the file should root your phone automatically.
4. When the program says 'done', close it.
5. afterwards, download this kernel and flash it to your phone and you're done!

Thanks for providing the instruction for me. Anyway I've flashed my phone with the reference here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560777 with the link provided by jlmcr87 for the firmware and flashtool. So it became from version 0.62 into 0.42. But the tutorials on youtube was something 0.283? Looks weird. Can you tell me whats the difference?
The only difference is the version of firmware you are flashing. You can always update it through pc companion once you've flashed the firmware

Probably the best method will be change kernel on older than you have now via odin. And use towelroot app, for me this method worked fine, without tripping KNOX. I have Old kernel, but now i cant upload this file for you because I have it on ma laptop at home.

Thanks, On What ROM is based the old kernel that you have, maybe I can extrack it from a ROM in Sammobile. I have an old kernel but is for android 4.3 not 4.4. I have the S3 Neo with dual SIM and 1.4GHz Snapdragon 400 quadcore.
I dont know, because I downloaded only old kernel, without stock rom. I have single SIM s3 Neo 4x1.4 eu version.
I think, last rom with old kernel is from 05/06 2014 or older ver.

Hi
In theoriy it is possible to extract the contents of that tar file and flash it with adb or maybe heimdall.
There is a recovery img and some cache image. I guess you need to write the recovery img to the recovery partition. But i dont know the commands (would be also interested in them!!) and the chache image belongs also somewhere.
If someone could point out the locations and the commands this would be awesome!
Thanks

Hi I just want to say that i succesfully rooted my neo in Linux with a WinXP install in Virtualbox! Just boot into download mode and then add the device in Virtualbox. I tied it 2 times, second time worked. First time he did not get a connection to the phone.
Also i installed the udev rules from heimdall before doing this!
Happy rooting
I found a web java app called JOdin3 that needs heimdall on Linux to be able to operate. It detects a phone as connected when in download mode, but I didn't have the guts to try and flash it. Did anyone else tried that application on any OS?
Hi there, I have a gt-I9301I with a baseband: I9301IXXUANI2 can I try this method? Is there any risk of getting a brick?

[UPDATED] Unlock bootloader of Meizu M5c and install TWRP

I am not responsible for any brick.
I tested this guide myself and decided to share it.
Make a backup before this guide because you will lose your data!
The unlock method has been updated and now you can unlock the bootloader more easily without the risk of bricking after an OTA and without changing the bootloader.
Now you can safely unlock the bootloader using mtkclient.
Link: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
TWRP can be installed via mtkclient or manually from rooted Android.
TWRP Download link: https://github.com/XRedCubeX/twrp_meizu_m5c/releases
IF you unlocked the bootloader with the old method you can follow these steps:
1) Download the attached package.
2) Download OTA zip from flyme, link: http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=70&type=1
3) Download the latest version of SP Flash Tool.
4) Download MTKClient and follow the instructions to install it.
5) Power off the phone and keep unplugged it from PC.
6) Open SP Flash Tool, select the downloaded package and select all partitions, then press the download button, don't plug phone for now.
7) Boot to recovery with vol +, plug the phone on PC, depending on recovery, TWRP or stock, use adb sideload or put update.zip in internal memory and install the zip.
8) Let the phone reboot or reboot it manually.
9) Now start the flash from SP Flash tool automatically, let it finish.
10) After the flash, unplug the phone and reboot into recovery.
11) Paste the update.zip in the phone and flash it.
12) After reboot, let your phone reboot into android and power off.
13) You can follow the guide to unlock bootloader with mtkclient.
FAQ:
A) But will I lose the data with this guide?
Yes.
Make sure to back up your data in any case!
B) But this guide is a bit different than usual, where is "fastboot oem unlock"? Or "fastboot flashing unlock"?
Meizu has not implemented an unlock command and in this case to unlock the bootloader we have to use a tool that makes us change the unlock status.
C) Are there Custom ROMs?
There is only one custom ROM for this device, the Lineage OS 14 but I advise against using it because it has a bit of a bug but I haven't had more time to work on it yet.
D) But wasn't the guide different?
It has been updated with a better method with more advantages.
E) My device is in Hard Brick! How can I solve?
There are various types of Hard Brick and it depends from situation to situation.
F) I have installed Lineage OS 14 but I am not satisfied, I want to go back to Flyme!
Flash update.zip from official website.
G) Can I relock the bootloader?
From MTKClient readme:
for relocking use:
python mtk da seccfg lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
H) TWRP? I am interested in Device Tree, where is the link?
Here: https://github.com/XRedCubeX/twrp_meizu_m5c
I) I have a Meizu A5 (Chinese M5c) will it work on it?
I can't assure you anything but it could work, the only way to be sure is to test on a Meizu A5.
J) Can I flash twrp from fastboot?
Fastboot refuses to flash partitions, strangely, I don't know if downgrade or anything changes the situation but for now I was able to flash it with mtkclient.
I can remove the FlameOs from the Meizu M5c and install a custom rom. So far I haven't found any rom for this device?

You unplugged the device while it was formatting, consequently it no longer has the bootloader, that error means that the device needs an authorization file that unfortunately only meizu has, shortly if I can try to release a tool to unbrick it in cases similar to these

Have you flashed the Stock ROM or the Engineering ROM? I remind you that even if you have flashed the eng rom only once previously, you can no longer return to the flyme bootloader so use the normal stock ROM but you will have to flash the Engineering rom

Well, I flashed the stock ROM a second time, using the Firmware Upgrade option, and it worked. My phone turned on and I'm in the initial setup screen.
By the way, this Engineering ROM is the ROM you shared above? Do you think it is stable enough to be used? Maybe another day I'll install it, with care to not do anything wrong again

Yes, the ROM in this thread is ROM engineering, about the stability I can't tell you why I haven't tested it, the main purpose FOR ME was to get the bootloader unlock with this ROM, if you want to switch to ROM engineering you CAN install the flyme after installed the Engineering ROM but you must always modify the OTA zip so that some partitions do not flash but if you are interested I will talk about it in more detail and maybe I will give you a hand to flash flyme safely on bootloader engineering

Actually, the ROM I installed with SP Flash Tools was not the update.zip from the official Flyme OS website. I downloaded the stock rom from needrom.
I have done this several times before.
But now, strangely I can no longer update to the latest version. The version I'm running is Flyme 6.0.2.0G. I tried to download the update.zip file and install it manually by clicking on it, and it appeared "corrupted file". I also tried to use the Update application and "network error" appeared. But everything else is working perfectly.

Are you working on a custom Lineage OS ROM for this device? I'm interested, when you can publish it.. Do you have a prediction of when you will be able to release that ROM?

Ok, I'll explain in detail how it works: In the guide you will have read that you cannot return to the flyme using the stock rom or an unmodified OTA. This is a tip because once you flash the Engineering ROM, the engineering bootloader (which is essential for unlocking) will also be flashed, but the problem is that if you flash the stock bootloader (the flyme one, the one you surely have when you get the phone), the device for a reason unknown to me, probably the Engineering ROM modifies something in the device (?) and then goes into brick if you try to return to the flyme bootloader. To flash an OTA flyme on TWRP, you must first have some precautions: you must take the OTA on your computer (or a file explorer capable of editing zip files) and remove the following files: lk.bin preloader.bin (it will have a name longer but you still have to remove that) and tz.bin / trustzone.bin. Done like this, now the OTA becomes safe to install, you install it from TWRP, at the end of the flash it will give you an error but it is because it does not find the files we have removed but we can safely ignore it because it will have successfully installed the flyme on the device.
Regarding lineage: I'm still working on it a bit and gradually I'm discovering bugs. I already warn you that the camera will not work in the Lineage, I have tried in every way to try to make it work but it does not want to go, I have asked for help everywhere but no one has been able to answer so I do not know what to do, for the rest I want to keep a little longer the ROM under test to fix the remaining bugs
