and sorry for ask alot

Solved
1. Unlock the Bootloader
2. Install Doomlord Stock Kernel 1.6 ( Pre rooted)
3. Install .62 stock Kernel from .ftf file (Root remains from Doomlord Stock Plus Kernel 1.6 even after installing .62 Rom kernel agian)
4. Re-lock the bootloader with the help of Flashtool.
5. You have Stock ROM rooted and with locked bootloader.
....Worked like Charm for me on my Arc s (LT18i, .62 ROM)

thanks
so what is the differnt between .62 and .42
btw i root my .42

All the Rooting Exploits don't work on .62 ROM as of now......Hence either you need to follow the trick I have mentioned or else roll back to .42........However there is no significance difference between .62 and .42................I am waiting for Official ICS

There's a better memory management according to people here

Some questions before I unlock the Bootloader on my play

After my update from .42 to .69 I lost root access.
Now 3 weeks later I can't work without root. So I decided to unlock the Bootloader on my R800i.
How I get then the root access? Is it already there when I unlock the BL?
Or is there anything to do then, to get root.
How can I update to ICS?
With SEUS or normaly with the phone? And is the BL then even unlocked and will I have root access?
And is there a german manual how to unlock the BL?

To unlock the bootloader go here.
For root the only way I know for firmware .62 and up is by flashing a pre-rooted kernel like Doomkernel.

Click to collapse
Yep that is the only way

To update to ICS you have to flash a ICS Kernel/ROM. I suggest you either CyanogenMod 9 or Sony Official Beta. To flash CyanogenMod download the package from the official thread, flash the boot.img with <<fastboot flash boot boot.img>> then enter in recovery and flash the .zip package that has to be on your SD card.
To flash Sony Beta follow instructions in the topic but instead of the original boot.img flash DoomLord Advanced Kernel to gain root access.

After unlooking bootloader, how to root?

hey folks,
I will tomorrow unlock my bootloader on my R800i, and I have a few questions before I do it.
- How to Root then? I will not flash a new kernel, I only want root, because the update to ICS is only on June 2012.
- How to flash? I read always don't flash via CWM only Flash via Recovery?
- Can I flash then a original ICS Update from Sony, because I can't use then the OTA-Update to ICS from Sony or can I lock the BL again, and then update OTA?

once u unlock your bootloader, u cant get ics ipdate.. u need to relock back using .ftf file with flashtool.. go n search.. im wondering what the point u unlock your bootloader without install custom rom or kernel
u can use superoneclick to root your phone.. i hope this help u

No I can't because I have .69 and this is unrootable.

Then u need a custom kernel mate... they are pre-rooted

[Q] i can't root

i managed to root it once before but when i flashed a new rom (same stock xxxxxxxxx62) i cant seem to root it (tried with both versions ) iam doing evrything right and its not a drivers issue it keep saying "failed" for evrything ( am rooting using doomlord's root tool v4 )
what could be the problem??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks in advance

What's the output of dooms .bat? I'm guessing you have a locked bootloader?

0.62 fw wasn't rootable when i had it. Just flash back with flashtool or wotan to 0.42 fw root with doomlords pack. Update again and it is rooted.

You can only get root on .42 with doomlords easy root.
Re flash .42 with flashtools get root, if bootloader is locked then update over the air to .62 root will remain.
DO NOT UPDATE OVER THE AIR IF BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED YOU WILL BRICK THE PHONE.
