If im not mistaken, arc s android 4.0.4 is not rootable unless you flash the kernel from version 4.0.3/build 562. Try looking around, there are tons of thread about rooting the android 4.0.4

Sorry but that's the reply you've got. Your 4.0.4 is not rootable

What they said was right. That file will help you root your phone by exploiting a loophole in the .562 kernel.
So flash the kernel and you're good to go.

By the way what is your bootloader status..is it locked or unlock..?
Sent from my Xperia Arc using xda premium

dont know about boot loader status.... how do i find that out?

if i dont know the bootloader status then probably its locked ! any solution with a locked BL?
its been more than 10 minutes since the sony logo is displayed.

Use the TestPoint method then instead of the Official Method, you'll find all you need at the first link in my sig.

The official method is more reliable and i see better for newbies... I highly recommend you continue with the SONY method... Actually when i was it his lvl, test point confused me...

The TestPoint method is better as you retain DRM, and if a video tutorial is too hard to follow, then yes, perhaps the Official no more reliable or better method is the way to go.

hello, i have unlocked my bootloader before, then, i relock it again, the bravia engine (there is no difference when i check bravia engine on and when i uncheck bravia engine off) and download music info (when i tried to download music info, there is an error) isn't working
