You can use most guides for arc with arc s.
Use flashtool to install cwm. That should do the trick.
The guides for the arc and arc s are nearly the same

Have you read these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573266 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
These really helped me. And it also helps when you don't get a certain step look it up on youtube. Of almost any step there is a video.
The ''Namaste guide'' is a lot to read, but it's worth it.

I'm still a noob on rooting and flashing (flashed my first ROM yesterday). And I don't know every term
Also when choosing a ROM, look on youtube for video's how it looks ect. And decide for yourself whether you like it or not.
Im currently running Cyanogenmod 7 (CM7) and it's so much of a improvement to the stock ROM.
Don't forget to flash the corresponding Kernel when flashing a custom ROM

Arc LT15i Overclock and Custom Kernel

Hello Guys,
I've visited this great forum for a long time but i couldn't find what i'm looking for, then sorry if it's a noob question or a question that was already answared in other thread.
Currently I'm using the stock ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431) on my Xperia ARC LT15i with unlocked bootloader and thinking about overclock it, however, as I said above, I couldn't find a custom kernel that gives me that possibility.
I've researched about DoomLord, Mesa and other ones but I only see custom works for ARC S (LT18) and using ICS 4.0.3.
In case of anybody knows some good kernel for LT15 running ICS 4.0.4 I'd really apreciate if could tell me more about or indicate any research's source.
Thank you folks and sorry if this question is inappropriate.
Regards.

My friend has been using DooMKernel since May and he says that overclocking has been kind of spotty. Sometimes the phone gets really hot and unstable but for the most part is pretty stable.

Thanks for the help guys! I finally got it done, but man am i glad i had a good backup because the miui rom is not cool at all! I did the smooth ion mod and i really like it. i dont see why anyone would prefer the miui rom over the stock xperia
The Stock Rom with some mods is really cool
