Although why you would want to root and not do anything else is a mystery.
Did you mean to say what can you do besides root? In that case, we would need to know what model of phone you have in order to polnt you in the right direction.

I've used Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299
And used the specific menu command to use zergRush.
Remember you need to enable USB debugging in Aplications>Development
Didn't I already answer this? Use superoneclick its easy. Rooting is easy. But why just root when you can do so much more

Even I had the same questions..
I'm on an R800i ..
Android: 2.3.4
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
I just got the phone this week, so I'll be happy with the stock rom for a few months..
All I wanna do is root it, so I can remove the bloatware..
(If possible, without having to unlock the bootloader for now)
My last phone was the LG P500 .. and all I needed to root that was run the gingerbreak apk.
Any chance of that working here?
Also, there is a sticky in the dev section for how to root, but that now redirects to a page [WIP] ClockworkMod Recovery - FreeXperia page..
So really confused..
Do I install CWM and then flash that file for rooting?
(is it possible to install cwm without rooting?)
Or do I root it using some other method, and then flash CWM using what that thread says?
Uber confused..
it is not possible to root Rombuild .62 you need to downgrade your rom to.40
dang..
and for downgrading I'd have to use flashtool, right?
wouldn't that format the phone as well?

First you root then u install the clockworkmod recovery. Superoneclick worked for me or use flashtool.

but from what I've read, it seems .62 firmware cant be rooted
any guides on how to revert back to 0.42 or some other older version?
and will i lose my data/apps in doing so?
I rooted it anyways and i'm now finding things out for myself.
Ok.

First you need to unlock your bootloader, then flash a kernel and rom that are made with ICS. After that you can install the superuser zip through CWM

If your boot loader is unlocked you don't need X-Parts, flash a kernel with CMW, flash a ROM, done. Read the stickys.
The thing is my arc freezes when i try to get in cwm.

Is your bootloader lock or unlock? If you want to install custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader...

Nope, You need to root to install cwm. Else You can install even without rooting, but You need to unlock bootloader and flash a custom kernel which has pre-installed cwm.
