I dont know if this would work or not but i had a lg eve before and i had to install fastboot through adb would something like that work on the arc? Or would it be too much work?

what exactly do you mean by installing fastboot on the arc ? it is already there you just need too enable it.
Not really to install but to unlock it. Or write a version that people with locked bootloaders could use. Just trying yo see if there could be a way to do it with adb

You can do that with Omnius It unlocks the bootloader without wiping DRM or any of the other negative effects. So you can use fastboot but still use TrackID and OTA updates and SEUS etc.

I tried unlocking the bootloader on 2.3.3 like I did on 2.3.2, but now when i do it I get a failed attempt. Anyone know how to do this on the 2.3.3 version?
Did you re-lock your bootloader when you went to 2.3.3? The process should be the same, but it certainly wouldn't work if its already unlocked.

We have to use the paid method, correct?
Yes. I locked it before updating.

What happens when you issue a fastboot command other than oem unlock? For example; fastboot -i 0x0fce boot boot.img. To hot boot a kernel.

According to
http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
If it says the Bootloader unlock allowed is NO the bootloader is already unlocked is that right ?
That can't be right because mine is looked to orange and also says 'no' for boot loader unlocking and i have installed a bug fix update OTA and 2.3.4 via pc companion which would both brick a phone with an unlocked boot loader and mine downloaded fine.
Mine said no to unlock bootloader and was locked on o2 but I paid to have the sim unlocked and the bootloader for a small price of a web site, its a 100% safe and also you can still do OTA updates with out a brick.

Use jinx13 on this website, he unlocked my play, he will provide you with all the software you need, he does the unlock remotely using teamviewer, all you need is a paperclip.

No not at all, you don't need to sim unlock your device before you unlock the bootloader. Infact one of the features you get with the paid unlock method is, it will sim unlock your device too. So paying for a sim unlock first is a waste of money.

I looked every were and im sure every unlocking bootloader method was you had to have your sim unlocked first. If I new that I wouldnt of payed and I would of done it my self.

I'm serious, i know there is alot of conflicting information right? But the deal is, factory unlocked phones can use the official bootloader unlock method. Sim locked phones, even if you get the sim unlocked, it does not unlock fastboot, thats why you need the testpoint method, and a sim unlocked device defo isnt required for that, because my device was still locked to o2 when i got my bootloader unlocked.

Ok lol I looked at to much conflicting info then. I knew I should of just tried it. Do you still get OTA updates with out bricking?

He unlocked my bootloader and sim within 15 minutes. I don't think you need to unlock the sim first because mine was a r800at and everything was locked to begin with.

If you think you can unlock your bootloader using the unlock method your self then do so but you wont be able to do OTA updates but if you pay you will be able to do OTW updates.

To root you don't always need to unlock the bootloader.
If on gb.42 or ics then you can root using the easy root options. If on .65 then you will need to downgrade to .42 then root then ota to latest version.
Unlocking with setools is good and safe and still able to use pcc or seus.

My arc shows up as not being unlockable. Now I know how to get the sim unlocked and know how to go about unlocking it if it were possible. My question though is whether there a way of unlocking it??
I have read numerous posts and think I'm on to a loser...!

You have to unlock your bootloader with the testpoint method. You don't need to unlock the sim.

Sorry, typing error, when I check the phone for bootload unlock it says I can't. Im not able to get into fast boot.

With the test point method as he said you can unlock your bootloader. This is a risky process to do yourself. There are also people that will do it for you for like $19usd
