ZergRush exploit by doomlord.

One click.

Definitly worth it.
Just use the ZergExploit like explained before, make sure you flash the FXP kernel (look up how to put a boot.img) and then put the new FXP047 image (7.2.0 at the time of writing this).
I had the same reluctance at the start as you, it seems complicated, and you actually need more research. Make sure you read the "noob" posts on how to root, they actually give you all the infos you need when put together

It's normal to hesitate but not when you get the correct steps to do it in a clean and harmless method.
Try this tutorial that worked fine for me.

I was just trying to find out if you were on a odex or deodexed rom, but I am guessing you are on stock. If so go with the ODEX (STOCK) ROMS zip.

imai existence
what is the difference between both ?

At the start of every section there are a few threads that are pinned to the top of the first page.
Normally guides, information, rules etc.
Go in to the xperia arc general forum and the first few threads should contain a guide on what you are looking for.

try this
try upgrading via Sony Update Service

It is for xperia devices, but it depends on the ROM you use, your config.... Make a backup before try and test.
