Rooting Arc S

i am planning on getting rid of my W8 & buying a Arc S....but i am a bit stumped by a couple of things. i like modding my phones....my W8 was pretty modded out...i didnt unlock the bootloader & ran stock kernel but i could still flash custom roms. can i still do that with the arc s? i mean do i have to unlock bootloader in order to install any custom roms?? & are the steps to rooting an arc the same as rooting an arc s?? any help would be appreciated....

arc S can be rooted with zergrush method very easy...
on locked booltoader so far can instal only 2 custom rom based on stock firmware...
also theme, mods can be instaled with CWM on locked BL..

Which two roms are you talking about? Can I flash even with cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 nAa r2? (the one with thd auto_installer in themes and apps category) thanks for you attention!

Hi guys
i wanna make a simple question and i hope i can get the reply i want
basically i was planning to ask if there is an easy way to root my phone and i had found it on this section so i cover up my 1st question
the second think i want to ask is that since i am planning to root my phone and start playing around with roms and apps i would like to ask before i go ahead and root the phone how can i backup the original firmware of the phone so if in case i screw it up at list i will be able to go back to the original state by flashing the original image of the phone. the reason i am asking that is because i had destroy my new Atrix 2 and till now i haven't manage to get the Asia Pacific version so i was forced to install an ATT version and sale the phone half price instead keeping it and just looking at it, so this time i want to follow the safe side
the details of the phone is as follow and i just bought it today morning
Model: LT18i
Version:2.3.4
kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
i will deeply appreciate any response and advise from you guys

Don't think there's rooting kit for your build yet..
if you happen to root it, download SE Extreme Tweak Installer.. this will install CWM Recovery where you can backup and restore your firmware before bootup.
Then you can start messing around.

Can you tell me from where i can download that because i had found this which is mentioning that is working for my version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
please also explain if i can use the back up to reflash my phone in its original state at any time i wish and how through the phone or by any third party application like Odin i.e. and where can i locate the back up file inside the phone or SD memory
i am owner of S2 and i am doing pretty well but with Arc s i am just noob

yea...i did the same too....rooted it installed CWM & backed up my rom & tried to flash a custom rom that didnt require bootloader unlocking or custom kernel.....i managed to do sumthng do the phone...it got stuck at the se logo...it wudnt even go to CWM....later the guys here advised me to use flashtool to reflash a stock firmware...& i did & with my fingers crossed...did so & got my arc s back alive.....after this episode...i lost the nerve to flash custom roms in my arc s......& i have been flashing custom roms in my w8 & this never happened.....this shows that the arc s development area is still not ironclad yet

btw...i do have a question.....i am a bit confused by the system info from antutu benchmark....the original stated RAM for the arc s is 512MB. but in antutu benchmark shows total RAM as 335MB.....i dont get it.....can anyone else confirm this??

If I just want to remove or move to SD card some of system apps like the Bruce Lee game, do I need to root or unlock the bootloader or both? I'm not looking for Custom ROMs just free up some memory.

Found a super easy way.

After a few frustrating days of searching I found this website http://www.unlockroot.com/index.htm which I just ran and it worked great! I am now a proud owner of a rooted SE XPlay. This program only took about 5 minutes to root my phone and give me superuser (still not sure what that is).
At any rate, you download the program, install it, follow the directions and then run it. It's that simple.
You can find some good info here on apps that you can remove. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046699

ok thanks, i may look into that
i just gave up with all the downgrading and rooting
i mainly wanted it to play games on it, but i have found almost all games i wanted for it now, exept for king of fighters, and the latest version of FPSE, both do require a rooted phone
but im happy with what i got already, still might look into rooting it for all the other perks though

Fpse does not require a rooted phone (unless Im reading what you mean wrong then disregard)
Easiest way to root your phone running ANY firmware is to unlock your bootloader and flash Superuser in CWM and your all set.

Well I tried unlocking the bootloader and not sure why but wasn't able to. I used the program that I linked to above which was a simple as installing the program, running it, connecting my phone, clicking the ROOT button and within a few seconds my phone rebooted and was rooted with superuser installed. After that I installed Titanium Backup Pro and went to town.
TOO EASY! :good:
Heck I rooted 4 phones with that program within about 10 minutes.

Removing preinstalled apps on Xperia play

Hi,
I am been researching for few weeks now. Being just an android user and a beginner level android developer, I am kind of lost in trying to solve my issue. I bought a Xperia Play. It is carrier unlocked. The main issue is the internal memory which keeps getting filled up from time to time, that makes me sacrifice some less used but important apps. I would like to make use of my phone more efficiently and utilise it to its maximum potential. Request someone to help me achieve this by helping me remove these apps.
Thanks

you have to root your phone first and u will find a tutorial im the development section... And after that you can use titanium backup to remove those apps

Hi,
Thanks for the info. But I am kind of lost when I went through the forum. Can you please guide me a specific one? Thanks.

You could unlock your bootloader. You can do this here: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
This enables you to flash custom Kernels and Roms. Although you don't need this if you only want to root your phone, but in my experience custom roms and kernels are a great advantage if you want to get more out of your phone

Thanks Bombasti, but the unlock boot loader from sony mobile does not work for phones with IMEI numbers greater than 14 digits. Further, I also tried SuperOneClick but I keep getting the errors in Step 1 stating that the "rm failed for /data/local/tmp/boomsh. No such file directory", Step 2 also returns similar result. Can you help. Thanks.

This is not correct. You just have to enter the 14 first digits. So it should work for your phone unless there are other restrictions (e.g. from your phone provider).
Did you try it with the first 14 digits?
Also did you run SuperOneClick as administrator? I have no idea how SupoerOneClick works, but the error says that it can't remove a directory that doesn't exist. Maybe you can create the dir on your phone to fool the program?
Greetings,
Bombasti

I checked the SuperOneClick thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682/
The R800i isn't listed as compatible device, what doesn't mean it's not compatible since the list is incomplete. But I remember that it didn't work for my phone either ( I tried it some time ago). I solved the problem through flashing an already rooted rom. Later i user Cyanogenmod which rooted from the beginning. But this needs an unlocked bootloader first...

Very weird root issue

When I first bought my ZL, I rooted the phone using binary4 V27 on superuser mode and that was very fast and simple. I could modify system files and do everything.
One day using my ultimate stupidness, I updated the firmware to 10.1.1.....253 then I did factory reset without doing a backup for my root.
Right now, when I go to settings -----> about ----> I get Kernal version 3.4.0 with android version 4.1.2 but unfortunately It seems like I don't have a rooted phone + I am unable to do any function of a rooted phone like modifying system files or ....etc .
I've tried million ways such as:
1- rooting the phone using the same method --------> the result is stucking at the wight screen and nothing happened.
2- Using motochopper method --------> doesn't work
3- Using the method of installing Android SDK and using the command prompt window to push (Su-busybox-superuser.apk) files to data/local/tmp/ --------> when reach sysrw step (sysrw not found)
tried to type SU (su not found)
tried to use one of the alternative commands like cd /system/usr/we-need-root or ./su-backup -----> file not found
or mount -o remount,rw '' /systemmount ---------> Operation not permitted
I will be following your instructions directly and give u the feed back
I am not gonna move anywhere until solving this issue BC I am getting crazy
I would highly appreciate your help guys , ... Thank you so much in advance

Ur bootloader is lock or unlock? If lock, you have to be patient for new root exploit method to appear.
Another way is to degrade ur Rom to. 434 and root. Then flash doomkernel v7 (this only apply to bootloader unlock) and flash .253 xcluding kernel. When finish once u want to reboot, there will be request to root appear.
Another another way, download rootkeeper, then temp un root and run OTA but some people in Z forum reported that it still fail to update, some successfully update.

Some aspects of modifying this phone can leave you a seriously broken phone, notably the TA partition. You would benefit greatly from doing a lot (like hours and hours) of reading in the "Z" section. All the activity is there, not in the ZL section. 99.9% of all the information there applies to the ZL (but practically NONE of the download files, so do not use software there unless clearly labeled for the ZL). The sections on backing up TA (look for DRM and TA), on using flashtool.
Note that all the information on root that does not specifically mention 253 is obsolete.
