You could downgrade to .42 firmware using Flashtool.

But downgrade needs an unlocked bootloader right ?

What are you talking about?
I've written he could downgrade from .62 firmware to .42 firmware, so he can use the zergRush exploit.
Nothing about 2.3.2!

Do you have any tutorial taught to do these procedures?

I think it is better to search google with the following words.
Xpera Arc S root
Flashtool ftf
etc.
You will find the tool information and many links to xda with explanation.

It's not that simple to find the right stuff for your phone (it took me a while to find the versions I wanted). First, you need to downgrade your firmware to version 4.0.2.A.0.42, you can find the right TFT file and flash it using Flashtool or use Wotanserver, then you need to use DoomLord's Rooting kit. There are plenty of tutorials and stuff on the net, just go and explore

never tried it on an arc s though, but has anyome tried using the outdated z4root app on the device while running on official ics 4.0.4?

U didn't mention what version of 4.0.4 u r using. I mean the 6.1.a.x.xx
If u don't wanna unlock bootloader then use bin4ry method but u can only root upto 6.1.a.2.50. The new firmware 6.1.a.2.55 can't be rooted using bin4ry.
If u have locked bootloader then u can root any firmware available now.

I have tried so many things, and so many guides around the internet, and the bootloader should be unlocked, but its not.
If somebody know there is one working, with the latets update of Android, please send me a link

I'm not sure what you've tried exactly, but you do know that it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader to root the phone right?

Same problem on my own LT15I

I have the same problem. I think that it is due to an official upgrate for Android 4.0.4 with PCC. Even if I use other way to root the mobile I can't. It is impossible to unlook the bootloader with the official way and I currently do not find another way to do it.
I am still looking for solution. :silly:

I have tried without too, not working.
And all the sticky thread i has read i not working either.
Its really annoying, because i REALLY want to root my phone!
But if somebody knows a lot about it, then it would be really awesome if the person would guide me through on how to do it on Skype or something similar.
