4.0.2.a.0.62 arc s root

hi i gust wanted to know about 4.0.2.a.0.62 arc s root
is there any way to root 4.0.2.a.0.62 devises ?

their is just unlock ur bootloader then ! im satisfied .58 il wait for ICS to come

or you can downgrade to .42, and root. I did the same thing, and removed few built in apps that I don't use, and every morning I get 200MB of free RAM, and in normal usage I get 170MB free RAM + the phone got a lot faster than it was on .62

But I dont want to unlock bootloader and lose the warranty and OTA update

Downgrade to .42 build and root.
There are some root methods for .62, but idk. Just look and search.

I downgraded using Flashtools and didn't have to unlock my boot loader, just flash the system file, and the kernel file. and you will be fine

I did it just few minutes ago and no need unlock BL
1. Flash to 42 or 58 firmware by flashtool. I download from below linkhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357841
2. Root ur phone by flashtool again.
U can change the CDA before use US or PCC then back to orginal 62 FW.
Cheers
PS.sorry my poor english

Solved
1. Unlock the Bootloader
2. Install Doomlord Stock Kernel 1.6 ( Pre rooted)
3. Install .62 stock Kernel from .ftf file (Root remains from Doomlord Stock Plus Kernel 1.6 even after installing .62 Rom kernel agian)
4. Re-lock the bootloader with the help of Flashtool.
5. You have Stock ROM rooted and with locked bootloader.

Download Arc S LT18i (4.0.2.a.0.62 Offical ROM) : http://www.mediafire.com/?6fs6iry9spv78mb
You can install Arc Rom on ARC S by some tweaks but it makes your ARC S slow as the default CPU speed in ARC is 1 Ghz and our ARC S is 1.4 ghz by default.
Download the .ftf file from the above link and install it through Flash Tool.

@jaipurwasi80 Thank for answer and help.
I think the problem(arc s as arc(cpu)) can fix with overlock and upgrade 1,6 or 2,0 ghz,cant it?

I have used the same file for my Arc S( LT18i) and its worked fine for me along with the Latest Flash tool. I hope you are using the .ftf file in Flashtool and your phone in flashboot mode.
OR
Go to www.wotanserver.com and download its client on your PC to Install any Offical Sony Ericsson ROM. You need to make a free account on the site and while installing you can choose to install 4.0.2.a.0.62 offical ROM.

Well if your bootloader is unlocked then just flash a custom kernel and be done with it they are all auto-root! That's assuming your bootloader is unlocked,, if not then .58 firmware is your best bet

U didn't mention what version of 4.0.4 u r using. I mean the 6.1.a.x.xx
If u don't wanna unlock bootloader then use bin4ry method but u can only root upto 6.1.a.2.50. The new firmware 6.1.a.2.55 can't be rooted using bin4ry.
If u have locked bootloader then u can root any firmware available now.

I have tried so many things, and so many guides around the internet, and the bootloader should be unlocked, but its not.
If somebody know there is one working, with the latets update of Android, please send me a link

I'm not sure what you've tried exactly, but you do know that it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader to root the phone right?

Same problem on my own LT15I

I have the same problem. I think that it is due to an official upgrate for Android 4.0.4 with PCC. Even if I use other way to root the mobile I can't. It is impossible to unlook the bootloader with the official way and I currently do not find another way to do it.
I am still looking for solution. :silly:

I have tried without too, not working.
And all the sticky thread i has read i not working either.
Its really annoying, because i REALLY want to root my phone!
But if somebody knows a lot about it, then it would be really awesome if the person would guide me through on how to do it on Skype or something similar.
