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?

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] 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

thanks to Overlo4d for this tutorial
1) flash the 4.1.A.0.562 kernel http://www.mediafire.com/?twn09p8ekug46f7 (thanks to sathurnn)
note: you might get errors after the reboot, don't worry, this is normal and step 3 will fix that.
2) root your Arc/s with DooMLoRD's tool:

What does the ftf file includes?
Does it also include stock kernel and baseband with the firmware? or do I have to install them manually?

I recommend you flash the GB rom, since it is fast. ICS is laggy. I don't think the buyer would be satisfied if it lagged

Yes but then when the buyer connects the phone to a pc, it will prompt him to install pc companion. Then it will prompt him to install ICS. So then, he will have a choice . But if it came with ICS and he didn't like it, it will be harder to downgrade to GB in that case. So better flash the stock GB

I did everything... All done.. Thank you all guys
I installed this firmware: Official ICS update Arc&Arc-S 4.1.B.0.431
And then relocked bootloader...
But now I have notification: system update available 4.1.B.0.587 , should I update or not? I read somewhere on xda that users were reporting bricked phones after OTA updates... because of unlocked bootloader (they said).. And I don't want that next user to click on it and then have a bricked phone, and I can't just hide the notification... if they do factory rest , the notification will pop up...
so now is it ok to update or not? or if you can link me to 4.1.B.0.587 firmware to install it...
