Fast Xperia Arc Kernel

Hi All,
I have a rooted ICS Arc (4.1.B.0.431) with a locked bootloader. What is a good, fast kernel for it ? Thanks in advance.

Call me silly, but you the entire benefit of unlocking your bootloader is the ability to flash custom kernels. Therefore...locked bootloader means no custom kernel.
I'm no guru....so please, anyone, correct me if I'm wrong here...

I am unable to update to FW.587 OTA. The update center downloads the update and fails to update upon reboot (get an error here). I suppose my only option due to this is to flash the official .587 kernel. If I need to flash a kernel, why not a 'better' kernel ?

Then U Flash A FTF ,
Because For ME OTA Sucks !

Don't upgrade to .587. Lags too much, I went back to .431.
Kernel-wise, unlock your bootloader then try ArcKnight 3.5.1 or SEGA Kernel V3 Army edition.

Youre on Xperia Ion, rom 6.1.E.3.7 rite? If bootloader unlocked, just flashing the GI Kernel should work...
Have you tapped the sony logo during boot ?? Tap it as much as you can and see what happens...
Btw how do you flash it? Flashtool ?

Aha Bin4ry tool , i am using it for along time but it can't root this new version.
Now i am using a pre rooted rom , but i will still like to know how to root the stock one.​

If the stock GI kernel dont work for you...Try the OC kernel with root...Just try it as it will give root permission or not...
Or maybe you can try deodexed stock rom rooted....If still dont work, then just wait for the dev to make new way to gain root

It's stock but from the Deodexed thread , and it's working perfectly.​

did you get your pre-rooted stock rom from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055043 ?
if not would you please guide me to where you got it from ? is it working well and fast for you ?
a side question ... before you get a rooted rom did you face any problems with connecting to Wifi-networks while having middle eastern sim inserted?
thank you in advance .

Thats strange..
You are in a Ported JB rom in ur Xperia U.. without a custom kernel you cant flash JB in XU... So probably u should installed a custom kernel... Right ? So u should hav root too....
Try Experimental kernel v 11.c for xperia U JB from Android Development thread of XU

umm...not really..flashing a kernel has nothing to do with root...you need an unlocked bootloader...not root...i am sure there are root methods available for lower versions of your device...one thing u can do....flash an old kernel for which root method is available(eg : ICS or GB) then after root flash back the JB kernel(stock or custom),upto you/..

Ha ? Custom kernels have auto root and cwm /twrp included my friend.. And the one he telling that experimental kernel for XU JB is already have Autoroot and Cwm recovery...
Did u read his question clearly? According to his comment he is already on JB on XU.. There is no way to install JB on a locked bootloader in XU.. So probably he is in a Unlocked Bootloader and sure with a custom kernel too.. Thats y i told him to flash Experimental kernel v11.c.. Got it?

Custom kernels dont have auto-root and CWM/TWRP always(it all depends on the dev who is packing it). and there is nothing called a pre-rooted kernel. You dont root your kernel buddy,you root your ROM. Pre-rooted kernels(usually bundled alone) have a script packed with its ramdisk that roots the ROM you are running. Same goes for recovery. I can show you plenty of kernels which has all the features of Overclocking,I/O schedulers,governors etc without CWM but you need a rooted ROM . So a developer who is providing an entire ROM usually pre-roots the ROM and provides a custom kernel(usually no pre-root feature but in insecure mode). while someone who provides only a kernel to work with other roms provides a pre-rooted kernel. And even i said the same thing. I said you dont need root to flash a kernel. You need an unlocked bootloader(that also depends, There are ROMS and kernels which don't need unlocked B/L)
Yes what you mean is correct. The ROM he has installed should have root access( I mistook it for official JB firmware)

@Dark Wraith better we can leave this discussion here.. Because we both are arguing.. But where is the OP ? So its just a time waste for both of us...
And i know custom kernels should need an unlocked bootloader....

Locked bootloader where to start? Not Allowed

Hi
Mine Sony Xperia S have locked bootloader with allowed status [NO] and i dont know how to change to yes.
But i wonder now wich ROM´s can i install with locked bootloader?
I have installed ROOT and i installed CWM for locked bootloader. Wich ROM to start with? Any CM version that can be used with lockd BL ?
Please help.. Thanks

Roms that i used
Hi men you remember me when i start!
First I used FlashTools, to flash .96 Firmware. I felt really well
After that i try with Leopardx 4.9 ROM. I use it 2 or 3 months because i dont like it, had too much bugs in WALKMAN. (but was fast)
Now i wanna use Carbon ROM or NatureExperia Advance.
