Hi, first of all, may thanks to jerpelea for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358.
I have try to upgrade my arc from 2.3.2 (unlocked bootloader) to 2.3.3 using the phone and I have brick the phone, now is with 2.3.3 running very well.
Now i'am looking for a way to root the phone, and i do not find anyware the way, but in few posts, some people talk about it, I do not know if it would be with locked bootloader.
If this question is on the forum, i don't find it.
Thanks
Flash a rooted .img if you are on unlocked device or flash a generic .181 ftf and root + OTA to get 2.3.3. Got it?
Its all in the forum under Android Dev section. Lookie lookie!

Bad idea mate, with the unlocked bootloader
hi, but if a do a downgrade to rom 2.3.2 (rooted), and update to 2.3.3 using OTA, my phone will brick, and i will need to make a flash using the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358, won't i ?
Yes, so it is advisable not to try the OTA updates AT ALL!
Like datagubben said, just flash an already rooted ROM.
Cheers!

Currently is not possible to re-lock your unlocked phone.
here is the quot from website:
"Please note that there is no turning back when unlocking the boot loader. You will not be able to revert the phone to a locked or original state if you unlock it. Also, if you brick the phone, it is your own responsibility."
See it more at this link:

if ur already having ur 2.3.3, just flashing recovery kernel made by either doomlord or bin4ry to have access to recovery mode, then, you can flash superuser package (aka root) to have ur fone completely rooted.
here's link of bin4ry recovery image (ps: this is just a live boot, so do exactly as what it said)

@smokada,
I'm not sure if an OTA update will work for you even if you relock your bootloader (after flashing 2.3.2) as the DRM files have been wiped but it's possible to update via SEUS, which would make you lose your root.
@silverwind,
You're a bit behind the times mate. We've been able to lock the bootloader for quite some time now i.e. from the end of June. You can follow that thread here.
[The DRM files which were wiped while unlocking the bootloader can't be retrieved by locking the bootloader again.]
EDIT: LOL! I didn't realise that so many people posted before me with the answer.
I am noob in android stuff. Just now unlocked boot loader and rooted my phone.
And now i like to update my software version . I am on 1.28.720.10 and i want to update to the latest as OTA has not released for India.
Can anyone say how to do that ?

First of all you have to be totally stock (stock recovery, stock ROM(unrooted) and re-locked bootloader) if you want to get OTA update. And the most important info:
You can't get OTA update from different region
You can't change your CID or get super CID without S-OFF
If I unlocked my bootloader already, do I need to relock before update to New version.
Remark: stock recovery without root

Just do OTA update without relock bootloader
After update bootloader still unlock
My HOX is currently on HBOOT 1.12 I am waiting for the official Jellybean update. My phone is currently rooted and the boot loader is unlocked, My CID is HTC_001 and unlocked to any network. I have some question for when i do receive the update.
Question's
Do I need to update my HBOOT to receive this official update
if my boot loader is unlocked and my phone is rooted will i need to unroot and re lock the boot loader before updating
Search people ....search. there are al so many posts with the same question over and over !!!
You need 100% stock rom, stock kernel and stock recovery ! Root can stay also ...you will lose it with the update
Bootloader can stay unlocked !

1: no the official update will update the hboot
2: bootloader can stay unlocked
3: root can stay, you will lose it after the official update . After the update you can root it again like you did on the ics rom
Satisfied

Yes but they will probably break root.
