[Q] rooting of xperia arc s - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, another noobie question, I am going to buy the xperia arc s , can it be rooted and over clock like the one I did on my current xperia arc? Is the whole process from root to flash EXACTLY the same? Most importantly, can doomlord's #10 be installed too?

[Q] Arc S: can it be flashed/rooted in the same way as the original Arc?

Hi there,
I was wondering if the Arc S can be flashed and rooted in the same way as the original Arc can be rooted and flashed?
Same firmware?
Same tools?
Same Howto's?
Same everything?
I assume this to be true as it was often said that the Arc S is just an Arc running at higher clock speed but even with the same CPU model.
Anybody with a rooted Arc S?
best regards
See the rooting kit.

Acro S, S and SL pretty much share the same stock rom. However from what I believe the rom was edited a little bit to make it compatible with the devices it works on. I would be working on Acro S rom on SL after i get a hold of an SL. But it depends. I got no budget now. I would make Customizable roms if I can get a hold of all 3 Devices FTF files from the first stock rom till the most recent roms. I only have the Acro S first till the latest stock rom. Only thing I need now is people helping me to get back ups of STOCK ROMS from SL. Xperia S i prety much have an Idea of where to get it from.
Very good bro
Take your time do some quality work
So, what is the final verdict? Can I take the CM10 for Xperia S and just flash it? Would it work? I am planning on finding out tomorrow anyways

Did it work???
Is it better to stick with a stock Xperia SL or to root, unlock and install a custom kernel and rom on it? Just wanting to know because I may soon want to do it or maybe not, depending on how it is from your experience.
i have already rooted it but don't know what to do next?? Are there any custom roms available for SL?

You can't OC when you have locked bootloader,you have to unlock bootloader,flash custom kernel then you'll be able to OverClock higher.

This topic is not about overclocking.
He has Arc S, which should have stock CPU frequency of 1.4 GHz, however new ROM set it to 1.0 GHz.
To OP: When installing the ROM, did you install the Arc S version?
. Arc S, Non unlockable,xperia Honami Z1 rom by Saqib. Ask for anything else....
Flashed through cwm. also tried to reflash stock and than the Honami rom, I also got this when using the Ultimate HD rom.
Someguy theres just one version for both..

No... well actually yes... the thing is i bought the phone from a shop without box n anything and i was told its an arc S so i flashed the stock arc S rom before i put my self to romraping the phone... So thats why it says its lt18i now... But nope u wont increase the system partition with this ive got like 420MB cca 300 free after flashing... Its still lt15 afterall it just thinks more of itself nowz...
