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

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 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.

You could downgrade to .42 firmware using Flashtool.
But downgrade needs an unlocked bootloader right ?

[Q] Root LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62 ?

Hi guys, i have flashed LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62 to my Arc S, it works fine but i Wanted to clear the bloatware so I need root for that.
I couldn't find any direct method (forund the one to downgrade o .42 then to root, but it's too much hassle), can it be done?
Also if easier and anyone knows which ROM i can flash with any Stock 2.3.4 without bloatware + CWM etc... i just don't like custom roms, as it
turns default works just fine for me.
So:
1. How to root stock LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62
2. Link to pre rooted 2.3.4 (LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62) stock kernel + cwm - bloatware
You can not root. 62 it is no hassle to use flashtools to flash The.42/.56 root then update ota ( only if bootloader Is locked otherwise you will brick your phone)

Flash stock firmware like. 50 or. 45 using flashtool in flashmode.This is absolutely safe.Then root & flash cwm.After then flash kernel & baseband of. 55 and flash. 55 rom in cwm.
Press Thanks

Will it not work how they're rooting the new U firmware? Just use flashtool to flash kernel only of the older firmware. Root with binary, then use flashtool to flash kernel only of the latest firmware again?

and what about the warranty? and i heard that flashing down/downgrading is only possible when you have a unlocked bootlader
you can use flashtool even if youre on locked bootloader.
Flashtool is fine for warranty etc as it's only flashing official sony files
