You can use most guides for arc with arc s.
Use flashtool to install cwm. That should do the trick.
The guides for the arc and arc s are nearly the same

Have you read these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573266 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
These really helped me. And it also helps when you don't get a certain step look it up on youtube. Of almost any step there is a video.
The ''Namaste guide'' is a lot to read, but it's worth it.

I'm still a noob on rooting and flashing (flashed my first ROM yesterday). And I don't know every term
Also when choosing a ROM, look on youtube for video's how it looks ect. And decide for yourself whether you like it or not.
Im currently running Cyanogenmod 7 (CM7) and it's so much of a improvement to the stock ROM.
Don't forget to flash the corresponding Kernel when flashing a custom ROM

The only difference is you have to use fast boot to flash Kernels
Wrong forum too

Your thread is now in Q&A after being moved yesterday from the Development section where you first posted it.. Root if ya need don't if ya don't.
yes , you should
whats the easiest way if there is one any help would be appreciated
ZergRush exploit by doomlord.
Look in dev section for easy tool.
One click.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium
Definitly worth it.
Just use the ZergExploit like explained before, make sure you flash the FXP kernel (look up how to put a boot.img) and then put the new FXP047 image (7.2.0 at the time of writing this).
I had the same reluctance at the start as you, it seems complicated, and you actually need more research. Make sure you read the "noob" posts on how to root, they actually give you all the infos you need when put together

It's normal to hesitate but not when you get the correct steps to do it in a clean and harmless method.
Try this tutorial that worked fine for me.

It does help if you actually search for what you're looking for. Luck for you there are plenty of spoon feeders here.

OP didn't specify bootloader status and the bootloader would have to be unlocked to flash a custom kernel doesn't it? Great link if he has unlocked bootloader

Nope, you didn't. You're not the first to say they've searched for something when they clearly haven't and you certainly wont be the last. I came here to learn, not be spoon fed and rehashed old information that I could have found myself by searching. This post of mine from yesterday sums up this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32137512&postcount=152
Okay, so I have an Xperia Arc LT15a does anyone know if I can use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836993

Oh this is how to do this
I dont know how to do any of this... I can't find any guide to help me with this..

It is possible. BUT you need way more experience, and since you don't have no offence, not possible for you
Try Xperia T style ROM if you want Xperia T Style (lol) or try other ROMs to see what fits your need the best

Well you could start by showing a bit of initiative. You are a member of the best site to start learning which isn't just limited to the Arc section and there is a wealth of information out there to help you so start Googling, reading, watching and learning as it's the only way you're going to. If you're scared of bricking your Phone two or three times a day for a week in your spare time then give up now.
