I unlocked bootloader, and I want Root .62 without downgrade .42.
Can I do this?
I searched forum but I didn't found.
thanks, and sorry for bad english
it isn't possible to root .62 with any method.
if you do not want to downgrade to .42 the only method is to flash .62 img already rooted.
Thanks! Where is rooted .62 rom and how I install this romm? thanks!
is your bootloader unlocked. it must be unlocked to flash .62 img already rooted...
"Note: Can´t Root with flashtools. Use the root with recovery tutorial (in this post) to root( for unlocked bootloaders)
Here is the prerooted .img 4.0.2.A.0.62 Generic Global ready to flash with fastboot (unocked bootloaders)"
here is the link to tutorial...

Yes, .62 can be rooted if bootloader unlocked.
Don't downgrade, as it is not needed.
Find recoveryARC.img file and go into fastboot mode and boot recovery.
Don't flash it! Just boot it!
Then flash superuser zip package and reboot.
That's it.
Search for more detailed guide with exact commands and links.
Be careful!

I will correct you.
Its possible to root .62 FW with unlocked bootloader WITHOUT installing pre-rooted roms
Just unlock, install CWM, install root via CWM.

then i flash the firmware manually.then my mobile turned on.
but when i wanted to update my arc it's says, your mobile has modified software, and it's stop working.
pls tell me guys what should i do?
help me!
You cannot update by SEUS or OTA with an unlocked bootloader.. Why don't u simply flash the latest ROM?
If u want SE updates.. You'll have to Relock bootloader (check Namaste guide thread for it) with stock ROM (2.3.2) .. root .. then update OTA (Again check the Namaste guide thread for this too)
Note: Root does not need unlocked bootloader..
thanks Bro.
i have relock the bootloader.
and update into 2.3.3....
if i want to root,then i have to downgrade to 2.3.2 then update it into 2.3.3?

Can the new flashtools root 4.0.2.A.0.62 for arcs with locked bootloaders? Already upgraded once to find out i couldn't root it. Has anyone done this successfully with a locked bootloader as I don;t fancy experimenting again.
yes mate flash the old kernel from the .58 or .42 or .283 FW by excluding baseband & system in flashtool b4 flashing after that root as normal with zergRush..

Thats what i did last time i experimented and it didnt work. i installed 62 then flashed the 42 kernel with flashtool. But zerg wouldnt root it. But i flashed the kernel only. in one of the 62 threads there were links to getting it rooted with locked bootloaders. This went to a guide with nothing about locked bootloaders in it, only unlocked.
somewhere here in the forums is a thread about CWM for locked bootloaders, with that you CANNOT flash custom kernels, but old kernels in zip format, hang on i'll get you the zip + the link for the locked BL CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390771 this is the link for CWM: follow these instructions for the arc : 1.Run install-cwm?.cmd
install-cwm1.cmd for Xperia Arc / Neo / PLAY
2.Enable USB Debugging on device
3.Connect your device using usb data cable
4.Follow on screen instruction
and here's the kernel it's the .283 kernel
it wasn't custom, it was the stock kernel from .42 flashed to .62 and zerg refused to root it. Although apparently this worked on previous versions as i tried flashing the .42 kernel over onto .62 as a tip from one of the other members on here. but I couldn't get it rooted in the end and gave up and went back to .58.
flash that kernel via CWM
so if done with cwm mod it should work then? Whats the difference flashing the kernel with cwm as opposed to flashtool? Would have thought it be the same.
dont know the difference, but this one worked for me
cheers ill give it a go.
no problem feel free to contact me via PM if you still have problems

I have the exact same problem as you. Did you manage to accomplish anything? If yes would it be easy for you to explain to me the exact steps? If not is it possible to give me the address or send me the .58 firmware for arcs (the ftf file). I wasn't able to find it somewhere. Thanks!
upgraded to .62 then tried to install cwm but it wouldn't let me as the phone needs root permission to be able to install it. So how did you deal with this? I also flashed the .283 kernel with flash tools after updating to .62 and zerg again failed to root the device.

Ok, I'll give it a try.
Before I go back to .58, is there any rumour if Flashtool is going to support rooting on .62 firmware soon?

Nope... the zergRush exploit has been patched on .62 fw and there wont be another exploit on Gingerbread, since we're going to ICS.
is there anyway to root 62 without unlocking our bootloaders or is it nay to impossible?
So far I wasn't able to find a way, so I think I'll just go back to .58 or .42 and root, waiting for the official ICS.

Unlock with normal method or testpoint (drm data keept)
Get root/cwm
Find your rom and fitting kernel
Flash.
If you just go first to general selection theres a lot fully made threads about unlocking and getting CWM. (on top, the pinned ones)
Then go to dev. selection so find your rom and follow the guide to flash

I'm struggling to find any guides. I only want to flash so I can get a ROM that has auto brightness turned off as on the stock ROM it's really annoying. Do I NEED to unlock my bootloader first?
Please could you break it down for me?

In those steps where do I flash CWM?
nope not required..this is the best short cut and time saving + safe...try it and let us know..
CWM is in custom kernel..u dont need to flash it seperately...
Just flash a kernel & you can use CWM to flash a rom

Any help please?

Hello,
I have a Xperia Play R800i SIM unlocked with unlocked bootloader, firmware 2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Can someone link me to a Step By Step tutorial on how to root this phone? I have read this:
"Just download recoveryPLAY.img (google it) and place it in androidSDk folder where the fastboot.exe is located. Switch on your phone using fastboot and enter the command fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img. Also download the RootXperia.zip and flash it once you are in recovery. Later on If you want CWM (recovery) on your phone , you can follow this thread."
But I don't know what fastboot is. I only know that in order to enter in fastboot mode on the phone you need to press the search button when connecting it to the PC.
Can you help me? And btw, if I manage to root the phone, will it wipe all my apps a.k.a. phone data? And what about the SD Card?
Thank You
Can't root if the firmware is .62 or higher unless you install a prerooted kernel.

Would there be any prob if I follow the tutorial to install the "Xperia NXT v1.1" Rom?
To flash a prerooted kernel you have to have an unlocked bootloader. The just follow the install guide for which ever kernel you install once you get your bootloader unlocked.
I was able to root mine without unlocking the bootloader. Search and try this pc software which is quite easy and efficient... Unlock root v 2.3.1.exe download at unlockroot.com. Hope this helps

Must flash 0.42 firmware with flashtool and then make a root, and update by OTA (over the air) to 0.62.
Do not update in PC Companion !!! Use OTA update.

Please go through all the posts (only 2 pages contains important links) in the thread below. The thread is about similar question like you.
Read all the instructions carefully and know advantages and disadvantages of rooting and unlocking bootloader.
Unlocking bootloader will void your warranty. (You can also relock your bootloader but you will lose DRM keys). All the best. :good:
