[Doubt]How Root Xperia Arc S

Hello!
I bought an Xperia Arc S (My first Android)
And I saw when using the Super Administrator (Root), you could enjoy the very best Android ...
However I could not find any tutorial that teaches you to make an Xperia Arc root in S
So I wonder if anyone knows any tutorial to make the Xperia Arc root S
I'll talk some specs on my mobile ...
Model Number: LT18i
Android Version: 2.3.4
Number of Version: 4.0.2.A.0.62
If anyone need any more information about the phone please, just tell
Thanks to all

I had seen this topic, but I was a little lost in it, for example, where do I start?
What it is Bootloader? I have to unlock the My Root?
Fits all models of the Xperia? (My specs)
Thanks and sorry, I'm kind of noob in this area has to Android, etc., or have never used Linux system, then still do not quite understand some terms ...

Hello
I had seen that to make the Xperia Arc Root S is necessary to make a "donwgrade" in the system leaving it to .42, but WHAT would ftf?
Do you have any tutorial taught to do these procedures?
thank you

I think it is better to search google with the following words.
Xpera Arc S root
Flashtool ftf
etc.
You will find the tool information and many links to xda with explanation.

It's not that simple to find the right stuff for your phone (it took me a while to find the versions I wanted). First, you need to downgrade your firmware to version 4.0.2.A.0.42, you can find the right TFT file and flash it using Flashtool or use Wotanserver, then you need to use DoomLord's Rooting kit. There are plenty of tutorials and stuff on the net, just go and explore

never tried it on an arc s though, but has anyome tried using the outdated z4root app on the device while running on official ics 4.0.4?

I'm not sure what you've tried exactly, but you do know that it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader to root the phone right?

I have the same problem. I think that it is due to an official upgrate for Android 4.0.4 with PCC. Even if I use other way to root the mobile I can't. It is impossible to unlook the bootloader with the official way and I currently do not find another way to do it.
I am still looking for solution. :silly:
