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.

Hey guys! As the title states, Just trying to figure out a step-by-step way to upgrade my Arc to 4.0+ whilst having a LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
I am unable to unlock the bootloader and understand this causes quite a few problems.
I already "bricked" the phone once..had to repair it to get it back to stock again. I don't want to go through that again..
So, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could kindly direct me to, or outline here, a step-by-step guide to installing ICS on my Xperia Arc.
Thanks for all your time and help!
Use flashtool to flash the official ICS release.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. Do I need to have root before upgrading? And also, do I need CWM recovery?
Can I just use flashtool to flash the ftf file?
Thanks again for the help. Much appreciated

Just flash using flashtool, it flashes the kernel too. I think Binary has added a root file too.

There is an update you need to apply to flashtools if you have version .6 you need version .7 look in stickies for flashtools... Info in that thread.

If your phone is Xperia Arc(LT 15i) I recommend you to wait the official update of ICS for arc, at this moment ICS is available for Arc S. I have Xperia Arc but i use a custom ICS rom with custom kernel, and bootloader unlocked.
Thanks everyone for the info.
My Xperia is LT15a, but I recently got it repaired and now it says LT18a instead. =S
Android 2.3.4
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-64
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf - [email protected] #1
Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.62
Bootloader is Locked
Can I still upgrade?
Thanks again for your time and help!

huh ? i do not understand... is it okay for the repair shop to do that ? . . . there are several h/w differences between last year's model and this year's model to 'require' the new internal s/w to properly talk to the new h/w ( drivers... )
.
please correct me if i am wrong.
Is official ICS available for India for Arc LT15i?

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
