and sorry for ask alot
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.
....Worked like Charm for me on my Arc s (LT18i, .62 ROM)
thanks
so what is the differnt between .62 and .42
btw i root my .42
All the Rooting Exploits don't work on .62 ROM as of now......Hence either you need to follow the trick I have mentioned or else roll back to .42........However there is no significance difference between .62 and .42................I am waiting for Official ICS
There's a better memory management according to people here

i have an xperia arc which was rooted 2.3.4 build .42
I updated over PC to .62, lost root. Now I want to revert back to .42, how can I do that safely
I used flashtool to root previously, prefer to use that again. Can I flash .42 back with no problems
Thanks in advance.

yah no problem at all ,you can use flashtool and you can root again then update thru OTA update so your root will still remain .
hi... i have flashed my r800i to 4.0.2.A.0.62, I can't root it, can anyone help? or can I flash it back to earlier version?
Yes, flash it back to an earlier version. .58 is the latest FW that can be rooted normally
can you unlock your bootloader?

Is there a website that i can find steps to downgrade upgrade so that I can unlock bootloader and root my arc LT15i.
Thanks
You can unlock the bootloader on any firmware... and just search your question up on xda or google
Thanks I thought someone wrote that you could not do that on .62 firmware but they maybe said that I cant root on .62.
Yeh you cant root on .62 so you have to downgrade to .42 and root on that and if you still want to retain the root and go to .62 you have to do an OTA update
Listen,u cant root firmware .62 directly. However,there is a loophole. First,u need to flash firmaware .42. Then, root firmware .42 using zergrush rooting method( there is a thread somewhere in development). After that, check ur update app in the phone and u will get firmware .62 OTA notification. Just download and install it. This is the way to get firmware .62 rooted.
*u must be on locked bootloader
*make sure u dont delete anything after rooting firmware .42
*if u dont get the firmware .62 notification, its not my fault

I presume I once was on .42 and I updated to .62 firmware...
Can anyone tell me what, if any, difference is there between the two.
I have read that some of you have found that the phone is laggy on .62 and went back to .42
Is it maybe too much for the original Arc being on .62
And also I have read once you unlock the bootloader and downgrade, if you want to upgrade again, you have to relock the bootloader?
Thanks for any info
check this out its an excellent thread..

Recently my digitizer has been playing up, so I'm trying to return it to stock.
However, all I've been able to install is a .62 build, however my girlfriend has the exact same phone and she's only got .42 (Stock, never messed with)
Every time I try to flash the .42 build via flashtool when it goes to read the .ftf it's just blank, unlike if I was to put .62 in it wouldn't be blank.
I did flash a 2.3.3 Stock ROM but that resulted in a bootloop.
Any idea how I can flash a stock 2.3.4 with a .42 build number? Or at least flash a 2.3.3 Stock ROM that'll allow me to update to the UK's .42 build on 2.3.4?
Cheers.
Had the same Problem, couldnt flash the 0.42, so i flashed the stock 0.58.
