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.

chek on PCComanion
Didn't Rogers just say they would release ICS for the arc and arc s in early September?
This is actually really confusing. Rogers and Sony Canada have two different dates for ICS; idk who's right and who's wrong.
Then again, I just flashed the generic NA firmware when it came out.
Sent from my LT15a using xda app-developers app
ICS is out for Rogers, just updated and re-rooted mine.
Going to check out the stock experience before flashing something stock based without the bloatware.

Which release version is it? .431 or is it .587?
Any news? What is the firmware version?
Can anyone upload the firmware file?

Release for Rogers Xperia ARC is .587 (hearing that this seems to be the build they are using for all the xperia 2011 devices they offered). I successfully rooted mine using the method on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957, followed post 3.
The upgrade left me pretty short for internal storage (as in updates that attempted to go through upon reboot failed due to there being 5 mb of space left). Had to do some space shuffling with Titanium. After (re)ripping out the Rogers ware, pushing the unused sony aps onto SD and integrating Davlik and updates into ROM I had a wopping 83MB of internal space.
If I decide to flash something onto it on my days off next week I'll see about posting up a clean image.
Cheers,
Does anyone have an .ftf?

Hi - wifey has an Xperia Arc S (unbranded UK). Its still running gingerbread .... is this right ? Checking for updates says that its on the latest version but I keep hearing that Arc S users are on 4.0.3 and even 4.0.4.
She is on 1254-1957.
She wont let me flash any custom ROMs
Don't know way
But you can use flashtool to flash stock rom too

My wife is the same she won't let me near her phone... In her words,I am always needing to restore backups why? Because of some mod update etc.
As regard your main question it could be because of the phone carrier, not releasing an update.
I have t-mobile arc and they haven't updated to ics according to pc companion always shows I have latest software, but flashtools will upgrade if you can convince her to let you.

Flashtool is an software mainly made for the xperia x10 but works (i think) on all xperia 2011 devices. Makes my life much easier
You can read about it here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
It's made by two guys from xda.
Also, if you need any help using it i will help you to get started
