Hi I'm Andy
I just got my phone a month ago, all ready unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed doomlords doomkernel v22.
On this post I will help navigate you how to root your Xperia arc s for newbies, okay lets go.
I found this website http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.PHP?t=1294564 this will direct you to unlock your bootloader from Sony Ericsson, follow the instructions. Another website to checkout Is www.android-advice.com
You don't need the SDK tools from developer.android.com
You need laptop or computer, internet connection, USB cable for your arc s.
Keep the xda-developers window open as you will need it for more instructions, i will add these soon, files you need to download: fastboot_with_Android_USB_file_zhw325.rar, NOTE YOU NEED TO USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE FOR VEIWING THIS WEBSITE http://115.com/file/dn020jv4, RootXperia_zhw325.zip http://115.com/file/e6vwvj79, this is the recoveryarc.img, you get this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=743894&d=1318108733, i accidentally bricked my phone once it was routed deleting bloatware, I recommend not deleting any Sony Ericsson files, if you brick your phone it can be fixed, you can get your stock os back, removing bloatware, just get the correct bloatware file list for removing them.
Okay congratulations you should now be rooted
Note to overclock CPU you will need doomkernel v22, I will instruct on this on a other thread, Thanks, hope you get it, software I use, updated superuser, titanium backup, root explorer, quadrant for testing CPU, graphics, etc and set cpu
Please hit the thanks box on bottom of post if you think it was helpful, have a nive day.
So I had a r800at a while back and the emulator gaming experience was unparalleled with any other device. Went onto the Asus padfone and then to the note 2 while using a ps3 controller but that setup just doesn't work for me 100% I kept thinking about how I used to play with the xperia play and it was just such a more compact package.
I picked up a r800i on craigslist for 80 bucks and wanted to root it again and go to the nxt rom. I still have everything installed on my computer. I just needed some quick guidance of how to root and install everything again. Also wasn't sure if the r800i root was different then the r800at.
I believe I used flashtool to do everything. But just needed a quick reminder please. Thank you.
Sent from galaxy note 2, tablet in my pocket! ^_^
I think u've already answer ur Q. Flashtool definitely able to root ur phone. Dont matter which letter u hav at the end of R800. But if want a much simple way, just unlock ur bootloader & flash a custom kernel. Not only u'll root ur phone, u'll also gain init.d support.

If you want to install NXT, you might just unlock the bootloader and install a kernel like Doomkernel. You can find tutorials here.

Thanks to both of you for the help.
I'll pass on the doomkernel. I didnt need it last time so I think I'll be fine. I wont be using the play as a phone this time purely as a portable emulator machine.
I'll read a bit at the links when I get home and reply if I need anymore help. I dont think I should ><

Hi, when trying to root my Sony Xperia U it doesn't work, I tried both options 3 and 4 but no luck, when it asks to unlock the phone and click on restore or something, I unlock my phone but there's nothing there.
Any suggestions? Thanks
LG AS730
I have researched as much as i could on here for this model and basically find nothing useful. There is a post that shows a method to root but i could not get that process to work.just wanted to give my input. I used root genius and it rooted mutt phone just fine. Now if i could get lg to tell new how to unlock the boatloader i would be in business. I saw the email that one developer got from lg about oem unlock. This does not work on this model. It just reboots normally. Any help on how to unlock my boatloader would be appreciated.
Rooting Xperia Z
Sorry to ask this, but does your root work with an Xperia Z c6606 10.4.C.0.814 running android 4.3. The phone is from T-Mobile if that makes a difference. It is not unlocked. I'm brand new to rooting, but my warranty of one year just ended, so I wanted to try rooting. Also, does the root delete any data, like pictures? Sorry to bother you with this question I'm very unexperienced.
Just rooted an Xperia ZL C6506 to Android 4.3 using Bin4ry's v.36 root kit!
I have my 2nd unlocked Xperia ZL C6506 phone (after the 1st one fried)! I upgraded the OS via OTA to Android 4.4.2 and then 4.4.4. The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers on a constant basis but only when on LTE in California. I would then delete the Baidu folder created (sometimes every 3 minutes!) The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers and the Baidu subdirectory kept getting created on the internal SD, the phone kept rebooting every 3-5 minutes and it kept overheating.
I finally got fed up and rooted my phone yesterday, using Bin4ry's v.36 rooting toolkit. I'm on Android 4.3 now. I originally tried the firmware 10.4.B.0.569 which performed better in terms of battery life and phone temperature, as well as the Enterprise Service not starting (in Security | Device administrators). I got greedy and flashed the 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware (still Android 4.3) since it's newer. I noticed the Enterprise Service getting selected after rebooting, although I turn it off (uncheck it.)
Regardless, this rooting method saved me lots of grief and worked great. By the way, I tried all the options of the application, and the one that worked was option "0) New Z2 Root Method by cubeandcube (thanks man!)" [I think the developer's ID is actually "cubeundcube"]
Thanks Bin4ry for an awesome application!

[Q] Trouble with Bin4ry's Root [Please answer] [Kindle Fire 2]
About 4 days ago I had a perfectly working Kindle Fire (2nd Gen). But the all the apps I wanted all required root! I had a little look into rooting my Kindle Fire, and I stumbled across a YouTube video that led me to Bin4ry's topic. The video directed me to use the "Normal" option (Option 3 I believe??) so I went for it. An Interface came up on my Kindle came up telling me to backup my Kindle (So I did) and then another one came up telling me to restore it. The computer interface told me that restoring would do nothing, so I did. Then it rebooted my Kindle, and when it first loaded up, the first noticeable thing was that when it came to the LockScreen, the was no picture. "No Worries" I thought, and went to unlock my Kindle. Second observation. It was soooooooooooooo laggy, and e v e r y t h i n g m o v e d l i k e t h i s. Literally. I tapped a button, and it took thirty seconds for the button to tap. Then another minute to actually load somethinng. At this stage, I panicked. I had no idea what to do. I'm not sure if this is normal or anything. I also ran a check, AND I'M STILL NOT ROOTED!!! The good things are that
1: It's not bricked.
2: The Computer recognizes it as a USB device .
3: The Computer recognizes it as an ADB device.
4: I can navigate to the "Restore" button if I have to.
I would highly appreciate it if someone could please direct me how to fix this problem (Preferably without restoring). It would also be great if anyone could direct me to a valid Kindle Fire 2 rooting article. If you have got any questions about operating system, ect, just ask me.
Cheers
New Z2 Root Method might work...
Did you try Option 0 - New Z2 Root Method? It worked for my Xperia ZL, when none of the other methods worked.

Could someone show me a newbie way to do it? I havent done any change/configuration to my phone ever, i only typed a code on my dialpad and i found out that its "allowed" to root my phone.

I suggest You read up those terms first and then root. Even just searching those terms on Google and xda would do a lot good.
Download iroot >> www.iroot.com/
Install to pc
In Mobile allow > usb debugging (Setting>developer options>)
Connect with usb cable
Click root
Done
Try to root program like last comment also you can use kingo root. If it does not work,first you should check your firmware version.
generally Xperia S devices has 6.2.B.1.96 firmware version. This version has a problem with root and you can find how to root this version form xda
I used iroot and I says I've successfully rooted my phone. But it seemed very easy, is this a real root or I need something more?
Can anyone help me? I don't have a PC and I want to install this on my lg g4, but I need to root first. I tried Stump root king root kingo root nothing has worked. Like I said before, I don't have a PC so I need an Apk solution if there is one. I tried googling but couldn't find anything. Also tried searching here but couldn't get anything specific.
Firstly, this should really be in the q&a section (not the development section)...
Secondly, I've not heard of a pc-less root option for the G4..sorry. Others might be able to tell you differently but the methods I have seen so far alp require a PC.
