I have followed everything to a tee, the guide and stickys and still can't do it?

Build 4.0.2.a.0.62 cannot be rooted, you have to downgrade to build 4.0.2.a.0.42 using flashtool and root that,then update over the air to build 0.62

[Q] When will 2.3.3 root be released??

Does anyone know when 2.3.3 with build number 4.0.a.2.368 root for xperia arc will be relased!?
No, not happening.
For locked bootloaders, the only way to root 2.3.3 is by rooting 2.3.2 and then doing an OTA update to 2.3.3 (The latest .368 firmware isn't yet available OTA).
For unlocked bootloaders, there are various methods mentioned here at XDA to root your device.
Cheers!

Had you have posted your question in the q&a section you would have seen the 2 or 3 threads asking the same thing.
You can find about .368 rooted under arc development thread.

[Q] How do I upgrade to 4.0 with a LOCKED Bootloader? PLEASE HELP =)

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

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.

.62 can't be rooted, so you need to flash a .42 and root that or update to ICS and root that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
