Yeah. Same here.
LT15i .58 is present. But original stock LT18i .58 seems absent.

Just use Wotan, it's free.

You could also downgrade to .42 firmware and root.

Hi there. I am new to Arc S. Why not go back to the latest available FW for the Arc S. Or are there no bugfixes applied with .58?
Cheers

When your BL is locked, you could also use PCC, but idk what is the latest available firmware in your country (.42, .58 or .62).
If it's not .62, you could also use PCC to flash the firmware and then root using zergRush.
And btw, I don't see much difference between .42, .58 or .62 (correct if there's something important).

Found some references to wotan.
Do you mean www.wotanserver.com?
That site does not exist (anymore). I tried to load it with firefox chrome and ie.

Maybe, it's just currently down.
Just tried it too with Opera and couldn't connect.

I am on .62 which is my latest (to the best of my knowledge)
I just want to root. Nothing else. I most definately don't want to unlock the BL.
I read that the zergRush exploit was patched in .62. So i too was looking for the previous version of my FW (how/where can i check what my last FW should have been?)
So in short: i am looking for the latest original SE FW with the exploit present. And i should be flashable through flashtools as PCC is no use to me since it will deploy .62 FW.
Is wotan the place to be?
Cheers

I'd just say, flash .42 firmware and root, but that's my opinion.
I've never used Wotan, so I can't tell.

The site is definitely not offline, if you try to ping it, you get a request.
Maybe they just have a overcapacity or something else.
Keep looking a eye on it.

So back to basic question but adjusted to new situation :
Where to download the original international version of .42 FW for the LT18i?
It can be found for the LT15i but i cant seem to find the .42 one for LT18i, at least not here on xda.
Cheers.

Look here or flash SEMC .42 firmware from FXP for CM7 here.

Thanks. Wotanserver is up now. They have specific .42 for my region. Gonna try that first.
Thanks again!

Thanks all! I downgraded to Official .42 (Trade code Netherlands) with wotanserver.
Rooting was pretty easy after that

If you're updating with SEUS/PCC, you have to root again.

[Q] Downgrade my arc s from ics to gingerbread.

I recently upgraded my arc s to ICS beta. Since it has no bluetooth wifi or the android market, i want to downgrade it back to Gingerbread. Can some one please help? ps. stupid me did not make any backup before upgrading..
Thank You.

Have you tried the Official ICS yet? Maybe it will resolve some of the issues you were having.
If you really want to downgrade though, all you have to do is flash the respective ftf file using flashtool. You'll find lots of guides/resources for this in the development section.

I dd not try the official. where can i find it? i installed beta only.
thank you.

if u are trying to say u need the .42 ftf then its in the same link, just scroll down and look for : 4.0.2.A.0.42
Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (2.3.4) (1254-2716)
india generic hardly matters as Central Europe i believe is the same as if u flash this via flash tools. then as the phone will start u will on top get the language "hindi" option aswell or india "english" .. you can root this, then update via wifi to .62 n u will still have root
if u have unlocked ur bootloader make sure u have locked it so u be able to update to .62 via wifi

[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

Its not possible if you are on a locked bootloader.
If unlocked just flash doomkernel v14.

Via Sony's website you can have your bootloader unlocked here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Then you can root ANY firmware by installing a superuser.zip in recovery.

oh ok, so I can unlock the bootloader even if my firm is .69? because somebody told me I cant..
and, just so I can be sure, how do I install it (the superuser)?

You can unlock your bootloader with the .69 firmware.
You can downgrade with flashtool. If you just want to root say it I help you. (I've unlocked my bootloader but I don't remember me how it works)

so, in the tutorial he posted u can skip the unlock bootloader part? I dont need unlocked bootloader for the rooting part of that tutorial?
if so, than why did he said that u need unlocked bootloader? I`m confused
oh, and btw, can u help me with this rooting? I sent u pm but u didnt send back..

I write it here for you other people (because no pm).
I'm not responsible for bricked or broken devices. This progress will wipe all of your data.
1. Download the .58 Firmware
2. Install Flashtool
3. Click on flash->flashmode->choose the .58 Firmware->let it prepare->plug your phone in like it stand there
If it don't work the first time taste it again.
If flashtool don't flash anymore scroll a bit in flashtool.
If the progress is finished your phone will boot (or you turn it on). Go in the settings->application and tick unknown sources and go in the settings->application->development and tick USB debugging.
ROOT:1.Open flashtool
2.click advanced->root->via ZergRush. I think then will come a Window how to plug the phone in, if there comes no Window just plug your phone in normal. I don't know if you must plug in before or after you click on "root via ZergRush". Just taste it.
Don't update your phone because that probably brakes/bricks your phone.
