Is there any other way to root the Xperia Arc S? Like an app? I recently downloaded DooMLoRD's ics rootkit, but I was wondering if there was an app that could root a GSM phone running ics. Let's say I downgraded flashing the downgrade kernel ; could I use Gingerbreak to root my phone?
nope not possible. rooting is easy anyways

Who rooted Xperia Arc (2.3.3 with last fw 4.0.A.2.368) using Z4ROOT 1.3.0apk? Did it work?
I believe Z4ROOT is an app that makes a temporary root on a phone that is bootloader locked, so you can access it's root area without the need to unlock it first. Is this correct?
Can someone tell his experience using Z4ROOT on Xperia Arc or post a tutorial on that?
Read the namaste guide, the sticky at the top of the page you've posted this on. ;-)

I guess Z4ROOT requires a downgrade and then OTA just like Gingerbreak then?
See my last post. ;-)

Hi Guys,im new here and forgive me for being a noob
Ok i have flashed the new [ROM]Generic R800i (Play) 4.0.2.A.0.62 but the problem now is i cant root my phone
before this i was on stock R800i ROM 2.3.4 and i managed to Root the phone with Superoneclick
I already tried SuperoneClick (software hang), Doomlord Easy Rooting Toolkit (it says cant copy any files and reboots my Play) and tried using Fastboot method but all failed.
Help?
If you have an unlocked bootloader, flash doomlords kernel it will root you device. ZergRush no longer works on the two newest firmwares.

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

You using 2.3.4? Try downgrade to 2.3.3 And it should work

You didnt say what version xperia play is GSM or CDMA. If your on the CDMA xperia play you cant root on 2.3.4. Only 2.3.3 and below.
But if your bootloader is unlocked just install a custom rom. Most are pre-rooted anyway. Seems like a better way than just rooting.

Hello,
I'm talking about eroot method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711
1) Does eroot unlock bootloader sometime during rooting?
2) How can I unroot the device after rooting with this eroot method?
Warm regards,
Maria.
Eroot will only root ur device
It absolutely will not unlock ur bootloader
If u want to unroot, eroot can do that too
