actually i dont want to downgrade........is ther any way to root use one click application......like super one click or like that app........please help
You will have to downgrade in order to root. Once downgraded you can then upgrade again.
Now, PLEASE, pretty PLEASE, use the search box, read the dev forum.
Question asked and answered.
thank you guys for your help......now i have downgraded my dhd to 1.32 and rooted it.....but now the question is when i try to update it.....it shows my phone is updated......there is no update found.........so how can i update to 1.84 or higher........
You wait. It's not instant. READ THE FORUMS.
You will of course lose root if you update the ota. Curious to know why you bothered if this was your intention.
You will need radio s-off to avoid having to downgrade again after the update.

First of all hello everybody
Since this is my first post and im semi noob il try to be as explicit as I can.
I personaly own an lt15i so I have some xp.
A friend of mine gave me his arc in order to root/instal custom rom etc.
-network locked on Orange Romania.
- seems to be not unlockable (bootloader I mean) since I have no Rooting Status section in the service menu.
-2.3.3 Version update dosnt work (via phone or pc companion,it says it has the latest version )
- baseband version 7X30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_21-29
Kernel 2.6.32.9-pref [email protected]#1
Last Section (About compiling smth,its not in english and i forgot its name)
3.0.1.A.0.150
I need to get it to ICS.
What can be done?
The phone is not rooted,its in perfect state and it only has some apps instaled from the market (player etc).Except that its as new as you buy it.
Would rooting resolve the issue?
Would network unlocking?
Any ideas,sugestions or anything else would greatly be apreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Not a very good first post it has to be said. Read the stickys, read them again and once more after that. Then ask any questions still remaining on the relevant threads.

I do not understand this attitude around here,no offence but an answer would of take you less time to write.
I read all the stiky's (except for the themes forum and accesories ) and did not find any helpfull information. Been googling and forum searching the issue for about 4 hours. If you are willing to manualy read 100+ reply's with 1% change of finding helpfull information please be my guest (I used topic search duh)
I might be retarded but : No unlocked bootloader no kernel instal,no kernel instal no ics since its gb kernel. No official update for my phone and I suspect it might be network related.. A simple yes or no answer is hard to get in this days... Anyway thank you for your reply and helpfull information
People get such replies off me when they've clearly showed no initiative. You say you've searched, read the stickys etc but everyone says that despite the fact the fact most of the answers can be found in the stickys.
I've got nothing against People asking questions but when new threads are started on a daily basis asking about things that have been answered or discussed many many times over it gets annoying after a while, and if like you say you've found nothing relating to rooting or unlocking the boot loader that's helpful in 4 hours, then god only knows what you've been searching for.

Ok I might be an idiot.
So basicly the answer is no, maybe this was a retarded topic since SE says
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

I thought that could be done if somthing on the phone changed,I guess the answer is no but I dont see any logic in this,wouldnt expect anyone to explain anyway.
Let me rephrase my question then,as a noob user as I am.
Why cant I OFFICIALY UPDATE the phone since ICS is actually released for this phone? If I am again that retarded that I did not find an answer on this forum or via google,I swear to god Il get a nokia 1100 and leave this forum for ever.
Just pick a ftf from the sticky in general and flash it with the flashtool, much easier than waiting, and you'd have to ask Sony why they've not yet released it.

Thank you dear sir! As far as I read I tought I needed to change the kernel in order to get ICS which is impossible.
If you had said that in the begining I would not wasted so much time and now I know more. Instead of mini raging with all that blabla like in the video. I did not honestly know anything about those ftf files,Im guessing they also update the kernel. Honestly I would of never had thought of searching for something like this.

I'll not mention that you've said you were "googling and forum searching the issue for about 4 hours". Yes they flash the kernel too, and to unlock the boot loader you can use the S1 Tool, the link to it is in my guide (see sig), which I assume you will surely have read, at least skimmed through it.

So you have managed to unlock the boot loader and flash the ROM and Kernel? Thanks for compliment, it used to be a sticky but I asked for it to be removed as I wasn't updating it much, but try and keep it up to date these days.

Thank you !
And the answer you are looking for is found in the sticky's (just kidding)
No,I currently have 2 Arc's (one of mine which I boot unlocked with jj and arcknight and the one being mentioned in the post) I dont have an usb extension cable and I must ask my friend the owner for permission
Hello. The forum search isn't working at the moment so apologies in advance if I'm sounding lazy. I've just taken delivery of a brand new Sony Xperia S which is locked to O2 UK and has the official 6.1.A.0.453 firmware installed on it. In the service configuration menu it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No. How do I go about unlocking the bootloader please? Many thanks in advance!
Questions go in Q&A section ...........

Yes, and go to the general section and read the stickys before starting threads asking for what's been posted numerous times. Just because you're a noob doesn't mean you can't read.
