4.0.4 version cannot be rooted directly with a program, no such hack.
You have two options.
1) Unlock bootloader (and lose DRM if done official way) and install/hotboot custom kernel to get root.
2) Install any previous ROM, which can be rooted (GB 4.0.2.A.0.42 or ICS4.0.3 4.1.A.0.562 for example), root it and then find the proper guide to root Xperia 4.0.4 and follow it.

i have already unlocked my bootloader but what is DRM and hotboot custom kernel

If you've unlocked your boot loader this should be easy. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18445331#post18445331
Flash THIS with the flashtool, reboot, download the kernel and wifi modules from HERE, flash the kernel with fastboot, reboot to home screen. Reboot into CWM and flash the modules, reboot to home screen. Finally, reboot back into CWM and flash this CWMRoot.zip, done.

Actually the best option is to flash 4.1.A.0.562 using flashtool, root it and upsate to .431 with OTA.
Since u have already unlocked boot loader u wont be getting ota updates from sony. So there is no use of flashing 4.1.A.0.562 coz neways u cant update to .431 over OTA.
So its better to flash some custom roms like Ultimate hd 2 (ICS) or X gamer 1.8 (GB)
These 2 roms are the fastest ICS and GB roms available.
DRM is "Digital Rights Management"
its a way to lock down digital media to a specific user and in some cases restrict the ways in which that media can be used and/or copied

Hello all
Now I want to get to the point with this but I've been trying to root my arc s but to no avail.
Now I have posted a similar question before but this post is more to the point.
I've tried both of the easiest way but non of them work.
I've attached screen shots of all the errors both ways keep giving me.
If I'm missing something then please tell me because I've spent over 14hrs doing this but with the only result is a loss of my hair.
Rather than root with flashtools why not use the easy root for ics.
Also check you have phone mounted in mtp and debugging selected.

It's how your sd card is connected. Not sure if it makes much difference but it might help.
Also is use outside sources is that checked.
When you try the easy root method is your phone switched on?
Can you confirm you are using the correct easy root tool for ics and not gb version, again just making sure

Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
yes my phone is on and unknown sources is ticked.
I'm using the latest version of easyroot I could find.
also how would I fix the sd thing, take it out or what?
In settings go to Xperia- connectivity- then select the option for mtp.
The reason I am asking this is that this is what my phone was set to, when I rooted using the ics easy root method.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
ok I've checked and my phone had map already ticked so it had map on when I was trying too root it.
this is getting stupid, it's like my phone is different or there's something stopping the easy root software from working but I have no clue what it could be.
in all of my time with working with android I've never had a device harder to root then my arc s . but the process is simple enough to follow but it doesn't give me the end result I want.
sorry I ment mtp, dam auto correct.
YES XDXDXDXD My phone is finale rooted, I don't know what I did differently to what I did before but I'm rooted now and that's the first thing .
Onto the next thing .

If rooting ics you need to use easy root for ics not zergrush.

You can not root ics 4.0.4 build. 431 using the easy root method
If you want root on 4.0.4. 431 then follow overload thread on how to root.
Basically. You downgrade the kernel root it then. Upgrade the kernel it may sound scary bit it is all done via flashtools. Just download the Rom and kernel and you are good to go

Hi everyone! I got the Nitro yesterday and I have tried EVERY possible method under the sun to get root onto my 2.3.5 V10J stock firmware. I am generally good at stuff, but the unbricking tutorial really confuses me. Is there any other way to just get CWM onto the phone and then install a pre-rooted ROM? Or an easier way to root? I tried superoneclick a 100 times, and it just behaves read only. does not allow the software to access root. This is the error I get with all rooting scripts!

Apparently there is atm no way to get cwm or cwm recovery on your phone w/out going through oh no!'s rom which as a prerequisite you must follow the unbricking method.
If you want go to my profile and check out my recent posts in the nitro general subforum and youll see my little journey....which others were annoyed with ...lmao.
I am currently rooted, running stock ics and love it. I have no issues phone runs near perfect.
I did not "unbrick" my phone and just flashed an older rom (v18) and rooted.
Sparky's root method is the only method that will root this phone via ics.
I made a thread explaining in detail some steps that were not mentioned.
Dont bother with doomlord, oneclick.
Since the tapatalk search function sucks balls use the xda search function from the actual browser.
Hope that helps. Maybe someone else will chime in.
Dont fear the unbrick.
Take your time
Read slow and also read through other peoples posts and what they did wrong, how they remedied it blah blah...
Dont take any short cuts unless for sure, you know exactly what you are doing.
Make sure you have everything ready and have read through prior to doing it.
Nothing to fear flashing is pretty straight forward.
Just take your time.

I went from Stock ATT 2.5.6 V10J to ATT STOCK V10F .Using [GUIDE] Unbrick, Root, And Install CWM by mattman86 . Its long but doable its not even that long really .O tip uninstall all the drivers you might have installed and use the one that come with the unbricking pack ,its the key to the whole thing. Im in CM10 Nightly now .Good luck and dont get frustrated its rootable its just not a one click root.
Just keep trying to run the root. I used super one click and it took me at least 20-30 attempts to successfully root. If it asks you if your version is 2 or higher or fails to push any files to the phone, the root will not take. Just reboot the phone and keep trying.
Try using viperMOD PrimeTime v4.6, that's a lot easier and faster, despite what everyone else says, you can root 10j.
Good Luck

.431 cannot be rooted with this.
Install 4.1.A.0.562 kernel (only kernel, whole ROM is not necessary), then try again.
