Uh...let's try this...explain what you are trying to do, what you've done so far, and some punctuation because 5 sentences as one is hard to follow.
Be clear, or we can't help. Give messages the PC or tablet give, and tell us step by step what you have done so far and where you are stuck at.

It is probably an issue with the drivers. I'm assuming your running win7. Check out the last bunch of pages in the rooting thread.
Here are several posts that may help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32941581&postcount=287

Also make sure you have USB debugging enabled.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831915
First off is the stock pc36img.img on your root of your sdcard? If so pull the battery out, put it back in and hold down the power and vol down to boot in the bootloader. you should be fine once it installs you should be back with a stock rom. If you don't have the stock pc35img.img you can get it from here http://www.multiupload.com/U27BZXVWWI.
hope this helps
http://www.multiupload.com/U27BZXVWWI
Download that, rename it PC36IMG, put it on your SD card... reboot phone into recovery(while phone is OFF, press and hold volume down, while pressing the power button), it will load, follow onscreen instructions
Have you tried using an ruu. It should be able to return your phone to stock
u should goto the androidforum and read ROOTING FOR DUMMIES thread! u will not f up your ph and it will take u 15 mins to root yah ph give or take a few!

Hello people
I'm a user of the Arc s and who has spent over 5 hrs trying to root my phone but with no luck,
I've tried every way of rooting I could find but they ether don't work or I couldn't download the required files.
Meaning when I try and download the flashtools, A i don't know which one if the correct link because theres like 600 links or something and, B the person who uploaded the files had to use a server with a 1 download a hr limet and I'm NOT paying anything or signing up to the hosting place.
When I try one of the easy ways, like the one click app way they don't do anything, like i get cmd popping up for like 2 seconds then closing but nothing happens.
Just so you guys know, I'm not a noob. I have done these things before on different phones, but A it's been a long time scenes I've rooted anything before and B my Arc needs to be rooted in a very strange way which I've never seen before.
So the bottom line is i need help, can anyone help? anything would be useful.
Flashtool has 3 links on the main page ...
http://androxyde.github.com/
All 3 worked fine for me. Let's start there
What build are you on? If it is .62/69 then the one click method its never going to work.
If on .42 then the one click will work
if on ics the easy rooting will work add I have used them both.
Flashtools look for version .7.0.1
When using three one click rooting phone needs to be powered on. Connect via usb run file via PC then follow the promts on screen.
I an not in front of PC so cant post links.

In a nutshell (this is assuming you have working adb/fastboot drivers set in your system PATH and that the bootloader is already unlocked):
1. Download the 4.2.1 factory image from Google - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-jop40d-factory-279cdc5d.tgz
2. Extract the resulting file using 7-Zip to your Desktop
3. Open a command prompt window in the folder where the IMG files from that TGZ are
4. Connect your phone in fastboot mode
5. Run flash-all.bat
Once finished you'll be on 100% stock 4.2.1

1) i gave you step by step instructions.
2) you're a rom dev, if you cant figure out those instructions you need to stop doing rom dev stuff.
3) read and follow the guide. it takes at most 30min to do and thats if you have to setup everything and dont know a thing about fastboot. it should take you 5min so your "i'm in med school and dont have time" excuse will be pathetic.

I heard that if you enter "up up down down left right left right b a start select" into the toolkit it gives your phone infinite RAM.

I used the Gnex tool and restored with fast boot.
