Hello all
Now I want to get to the point with this but I've been trying to root my arc s but to no avail.
Now I have posted a similar question before but this post is more to the point.
I've tried both of the easiest way but non of them work.
I've attached screen shots of all the errors both ways keep giving me.
If I'm missing something then please tell me because I've spent over 14hrs doing this but with the only result is a loss of my hair.
Rather than root with flashtools why not use the easy root for ics.
Also check you have phone mounted in mtp and debugging selected.

I'm running ics ( the latest version that Sony has released )

It's how your sd card is connected. Not sure if it makes much difference but it might help.
Also is use outside sources is that checked.
When you try the easy root method is your phone switched on?
Can you confirm you are using the correct easy root tool for ics and not gb version, again just making sure

yes my phone is on and unknown sources is ticked.
I'm using the latest version of easyroot I could find.
also how would I fix the sd thing, take it out or what?
In settings go to Xperia- connectivity- then select the option for mtp.
The reason I am asking this is that this is what my phone was set to, when I rooted using the ics easy root method.

ok I've checked and my phone had map already ticked so it had map on when I was trying too root it.
this is getting stupid, it's like my phone is different or there's something stopping the easy root software from working but I have no clue what it could be.
in all of my time with working with android I've never had a device harder to root then my arc s . but the process is simple enough to follow but it doesn't give me the end result I want.
sorry I ment mtp, dam auto correct.
YES XDXDXDXD My phone is finale rooted, I don't know what I did differently to what I did before but I'm rooted now and that's the first thing .
Onto the next thing .

Thank for trying to help out guys. I'm glad i switched to android .
If rooting ics you need to use easy root for ics not zergrush.
Look for post in dev section for doomlords post with ics rooting.

any idea? I unlocked bootloader.
Are you on GB or ICS?

Re: [Q] Clean Install?
If you have the boot loader unlocked than its very easy to root your device.
Note:
Whenever, you flash a stock ftf firmware you will loose root status.
So,having this tool readily available on your desktop is important.
[1]Use the tool from this thread:
[Arc/Arc S]Auto root for unlocked bootloader-no flashing needed-by bazoocase.
[2]Xrecovery-another awesome tool
