[Q] Can anyone post to root 4.0.4 kernel the OneClick way? [Arc S]

Need help regarding my Arc S
i am on locked bootloader 4.0.4 ics. I dont want to unlock bootloader and do any fast boot mode, cwm or to remain in 4.0.3 kernel with skipping 4.0.4 kernel while flashing to 4.0.4 full update, then flashing 4.0.4 individually later way , etc ...
I understand both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 kernel version are same but still 4.0.4 isn't rootable the old Root Exploit One Click way, which was used for 4.0.3 . So definately there could be some difference mayb better battery performance, they would have locked to not be able to root the old way and something new is needed for it? i mean they maybe would have just modified the same kernel version...
so please would highly appreciate anyone's help if one can provide me root 4.0.4 kernel the One Click way .
Regards

That's exactly what he said he DIDN'T want to do. LOL!
@shantusingh, there is no other way currently known to root 4.0.4 other than the steps you mentioned in your first step.

thanks for understanding and for letting me know, though hope one simple way comes out soon..
my basic idea is as like many others, we try different generic and in end we would only want our generic to be running when it officially comes because maybe we get less bloatware, better performance or could be anything..
so i want when i get 4.0.4 update then i cleanely update with root one click way... to get everything my generic with root in the end, even if other generic's kernel verison,etc be the same...
So i am counting on the genius devs here!
if we don't get root one click way for 4.0.4, then my other idea is i will officially update 4.0.4 via pc camp when it comes to india .. and when i get it i will check it with the 4.0.3's kernel version screenshot that i will already save to pc. So if they will be the same.... i will then only flash 4.0.3's kernel then will root my phone the old one click way ....
after that then will flash my phone with 4.0.4's kernel from 4.0.4 update ftf which was leaked on xda as i wont mind flashing other generic if everything matches. So i then will get it confirmed everything from stock that what i got in my region was the same aswell i didn't missed anything and will in end have stock 4.0.4 with stock 4.0.4 kernel(of other generic, but if version and everything will be same so can say indian kernel aswell) rooted! this way. Will do all this only if root one click simple way isn't developed for 4.0.4
Hope people understood what i am tring to explain the logic, it is very complex and absurd but all in the end all i am asking is to get same simple way to root 4.0.4 in the end

@Ardith.fbi,
Didn't you say it was possible to get your hands on the Generic World from your contact at Sony India over the weekend? Any luck regarding that?

[Q] Rooting Xperia Arc

I have a Xperia Arc device and I want to root it.
How do I do it?

Bad forum...
Man... there are thousands of thread about rooting the arc if you are too lazy to search get the **** out of here...
A clue to solve your problem : Google is your friend

Search first. Everything is available in the forum.
And this is not the Q&A section.

I have been tried it a lot!!!
I have been tried it a lot, some of the guides told me to unlock my bootloader but I cant do that, and others tell me to use adb and I dont know how to do that also, Im asking for help!!

Then Try to post in the right section first. Otherwise Mods will close/delete your thread.
Which ROM you have? Gingerbread or ICS?
And what is the build number? GB - 0.42/0.58/0.62 or ICS -4.0.3 or 4.0.4

I have Gingerbread 2.3.3
Build number 3.0.1.a.0.145

You're running an old version of android. Not even 2.3.4
But if you just want to root this version, just search for Gingerbreak. You just need to transfer it to your phone and install it like a regular .apk
Cheers!

Well Xtacy already suggested you the way, which is right.
Can you upgrade the Android Version, Like the latest Android 4.0.4. That is easily Rootable.
You can also upgrade to Android 2.3.4 [Build 0.42 or 0.58] which is easily rootable to using Doomlord kit.

[PRO] Rooting

Hi, guys!
Please tell me how to root a locked bootloader stock 4.0.4 (.431 firmware) Xperia Pro.
Can it be done without downgrading??? And if not, please be kind and give me a step by step tutorial with .ftf links.
I don't want a custom rom for now, just rooting for stock 4.0.4
Thank you!

Why dont you have a look on google or xda on how to root your 4.0.4

You can find a root tutorial in the second page

Check the stickied threads under the General section. The rooting method is the same.

I checked the threads before posting this and I didn't get a thing.
So, can someone please tell me with a little sense of English how to root it, because AeonWorld left me in a total blackout with his coherence and English...
And also, is it true that you can install cwm only with unlocked bootloader???

Should have checked google then. You can install CWM with a locked bootloader, but obviously can't flash a custom kernel, which most custom ROMs use.

Nevermind, everything is solved!
Now I have a beautiful rooted Xperia Pro with stock, which I heard it's the most stable and fast rom.
But now I have other questions...
First of all, what are all the tweaks I can make to make it even faster... (links please)
And the themes from arc and neo should work for pro without a problem also, right???

Use zeppelinrox's V6 Supercharger. Follow rexstor's guide. Make sure you read the original thread first.
Partition your memory card to use it with Link2SD. Follow XperiaBlog's guide to set it up.

Thanks for your useful reply (the first one around here...)!

[Q] Xperia Arc S Root

Hello xda forum!
I´m kinda noob in the world of custimizing android devices, my first device was a SGA so that was an easy one, but now I have a xperia arc s with the official 4.0.4 rom made by sony the build number is 4.1.B.0 and I want to root it but i can´t, I have tried the DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip method but it failed i think because it requires the build no 4.1.A , the 2nd atempt was to flash a kernel made also by doomlord to put the build number into 4.1.A or somthing like that but it also failed becuse i can´t boot into fastboot mode, so i made a research around xda forum and I found that some devices are locked by the mobile operator, so they can´t boot into fastboot mode. Now my question is does this device is rubish or do I have a solution? what can i do?
thanx!! to all the people that can help me.
P.D.1: sorry for my bad english xD
P.D.2: don´t be like "uuhh! look around xda, you´ll find the answer" please I need some help.

Help with Root/upgrade

Just got my ZL and I must say (till now) this phone is kickass. As you might have imagined, I cannot wait to root it, but I have also seen talk of an update on the XDA forums, I have been through tons of threads on both rooting and upgrading, but am still a bit confused.
My ZL has the follwoing specs:
Model C6506
Firmware; 10.1.A.1.434
Android OS: 4.1.2
So the question is, which is the best way to go for rooting/updating the software?? Thanks

Personally, i would do the following :
1. Update the official way via Sony PC Companion, which should bring you to Firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244
2. Follow one of the guide to root.
3. With it rooted, install CWM / TWRP.
This is my preferred method, others may do otherwise.
Thanks.

This is not a question that should clog up a dedicated development section. That's what the general section's for.

Question don't belong in Development, thread moved to Q&A.
Thanks

Sorry for posting in the wrong section.... I'll give takagen's suggestion a try. I'l llet you know. Thanks.

Tried updating via PC companion but no updated firmware available. Any way to force the update or flash it?? Thanks.

Nevermind. Im reading doomlords thread.
