Which one works on arc and arc S.
Did already someone port them to SE arc.
And if does, is there somehow to keep BL locked (since we will recive ICS).
Thx
theres someone who made a thread at arc development called SE EXTREME TWEAKER that can install cwm recovery on locked bootloaders
xRecovery in only for 2010 Xperias

There's a cwm for xperia arc, it'll let you flash various mods, but to flash custom roms via cwm you'll need an unlocked bootloader.
can you give me link.

How to fix cwm I have root but is gives error I can not install any ROM
Go to development section and search for SE Tweak Installer.. It'll be around in 6th page or after that i think so, but am not sure.. Download it and using it you can install CWM on your arc.. BTW is your arc bootloader unlocked?

Why don't you unlock your bootloader and install a real jelly bean rom

Thanks for the links, but the bootloader is locked, so is it possible to still install custom ROM leaving bootloader locked?
It is possible for some ROMs i think.

It is possible as long as your new rom doesn't require you to change the kernel, so you can't use ICS or JB roms. Some GB roms also require a different kernel, like MIUI. Gin2Jellybean is fine, but it also support other kernels.
There are instructions in the rom thread. It says you have to change the firmware, but I never did and my Play is still working fine. I'd just start at step 3.
I can't boot into recovery, can someone please help. It just boots up as normal, i tried pressing back key and volume down key.
Are you using xparts to install CWM? Try using a earlier version. Version 5 worked for me last i recall

Flash stock ftf for arc s via flashtool or if you are on unlocked bootloader then flash any arc s kernel via fastboot

I did the same thing and my Xperia just sat on the SONY screen, I had to run the 'repair' through the Sony Companion, got it working again!
You are welcome...
ps. Don't forget to hit 'thanks'.

I think flashing the stock ftf with the flashtool is the way to go my friend, good luck.

reflash stock .587 ftf file with flashtool.. then all should be fine...
Or you could just flash the stock kernel...

just pull the battery....grab another kernel which is right for your rom and device and flash that one normally.
AW: [Q] Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S flashed with wrong kernel
Take off battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert battery, connect in fastboot mode and flash a kernel for your device. You won't loose data (you would by flashing stock rom)

I just have a few questions I want to get out of the way.
I have an Arc that I rooted (confirmed by the SuperUser app/ RootCheckr) I flashed a vodafone ICS rom with Flashtool. I installed CWM with X-Parts and can boot into it just fine.
But when I type in the *#*#7347 Whatever number into the Keypad it says my bootloader can't be unlocked. Yet all the signs from the stuff I mentioned above point to a rooted android device.
So without the Bootloader being unlocked I can't install custom kernels...or any custom roms? Are there any Roms I can use? I am fine staying with ICS Just curious if I have some choice in Roms.
for a locked bootloader you can't flash a custom kernel but a custom rom but not all so better read or ask carefully before flash any rom

Try Xperia Ultimate HD by jadar
It is butter smooth and responsive ui and have a fairly good battery performance
It can be installed with locked bootloader!
I have a bootloader locked and using Xperia Ultimate HD 3.1 BETA
I suggest you to install ver2.0.3 or 3.0.2
Flashing kernel is very dangerous to your phone, consider carefully before unlocking bootloader

Hey Everyone
I'm new to the android world here.. and I've been attempting to get root access with my lt15a
however I am having several issues having rooting apps work
I've tried zroot, framaroot, flashtool, & Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31
all apps seen to run, but not root the device
my bootloader is unlock, I've set usb debugging, allow installation of non-market apps, mass storage mode (msc)
the phone is running android 4.0.4 kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf build # 4.1.B.0.587
******
on a side note.. I did successfully root my phone before updating to 4.0.4 without knowing it would lock my bootloader and lose my root
I have since paid to unlock the bootloader, however can not root the device again
can any guide me in the right direction..
thanks

Check the Xperia Tipo section of xda-developers, I am sure there is at least once custom kernel.
...
I've tried the -rooted, kingo android root, and still no success
I've also tried flashtool root and it fails
I noticed during using flashtool.. it says bootloader can not be officially unlocked.,. not sure if that means anything
when I checked the phone is service screen.. it says bootloader unlocked...
all rooting apps if tried .. get to a certain screen.. and seem to sit there and then show rooting failed...
can anyone provide the exact link to the ics kernel..
or what I can try ...
I still don't understand what is causing my issue here
