Please tell me how you did it? I'm having trouble installing fastboot driver on Win8. Had to use my brother's Win7 PC.

I need help with PC drivers for Bluetooth

I have looked everywhere on this forum using the search someone else have asked the same question but no answer was given.
Where can I find the Bluetooth drivers for Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc/S Drivers for PC?
I have gone through PC auto search and Google also on Sony website. It looks as if there are no drivers for ICS or Later.
I'm currently running JB custom ROM and Kernel. Please help me if you can.

The default bluetooth drivers will do, depending on your pc manufacturer.

That drivers do not exist!
Just skip them, and click do not ask again.
On stock Rom is same issue.
Bluetooth will still work fine.

You can't root 587 directly. You have to downgrade to an earlier version of firmware to do so, and then flash a 587 kernel to get it back to the most updated firmware (therefore keeping root).
Flash this, root with this (by running the runme.bat file), and then flash this
Good luck!

You have to use flashtool to flash firmwares/kernels onto your phone. Here's a tutorial on how to do it.

Did you tried sony offical unlock? If you can't either, I think there's nothing you can do.
[I saw some website (don't remember the url) that claimed that you could unlock it via imei codes, but it was pretty expensive (€ 49,00)... Plus I'm not sure if this was for carrier or bootloader unlock.]

should be carrier.
At this Sony thingy where I can check if my BL is unlockable or not it says "No". So I can't flash any unofficial kernels.
