Why make a new thread? A link was already given to you. If you read that post, you would have your answer.

Hi All,
Since this is my first post I am unable to ask this in the relevant thread so apologies. I was just wondering if the excellent rooting toolkit posted on the other thread is available with JB instead of ICS? I know there are guides to flashing xperia arc LT15i to JB but none I can find that don't require the bootloader unlocked..
Thanks for your support

Why would you need it? There is no JB for our phones, so it is not needed. All custom ROMs are already rooted, so you don't need to do anything.
Perhaps I misunderstand the process then, I understood that in order to upgrade phone I had to have bootloader unlocked OR phone rooted. I am basing this assumption on the information I found androidgadgematic.com/2012/09/root-sony-xperia-arc-lt15-arc-s-lt18-ics.html you mention that there is no JB for xperia but I have seen several vids on youtube that claim otherwise, but again I stand to be corrected.
In essence I have an xperia arc LT15i running GB that I cannot unlock the bootloader on and I am trying to find a way to upgrade it to JB. I have been searching here, youtube, xperia blog etc but cannot find a way to do this with bootloader locked. Then I came across the method linked earlier that seems to do the job for ICS but would like JB.
Hope my rambling makes sense...
thanks again for your time

It amazes me how many new members sign up here, come straight to Q&A claiming to have searched, this that and the other then ask a question which they could find the answer for in the stickys prefixed [GUIDE] in General.
Click the first link in my sig and read from start to finish, then you might understand a bit better.
with respect I have spent over 2 days searching this site for information, perhaps I mis-understood it or was looking at the wrong info but that does not change the fact that I have genuinely tried to find an answer myself prior to posting. I think this is borne out by both the xda link and the link to androidgadgematic. It is unfair of you to assume that I am misrepresenting myself.
I would much prefer to have found a solution myself as it is faster and avoids these situations I will have a look at the links you have indicated
thanks

I assume it based on the fact that 9 out of 10 users who say they have searched actually haven't which 9 times out of 10 is usually proven by a Google search of the actual thread title they started theirs with, and if you have actually spent 2 days looking then I'm amazed you don't seem to have read any of the stickys or JB type ROM threads either which would have answered your query of having a locked boot loader.
Anyway, let us know how you get on.
I take your point and thanks for the links I have since rooted phone and installed CWM, Someguyfromhell mentioned no JB for Arc yet I see ROMs here which is somewhat confusing can you clarify?
Thanks

The clues in the title - [CM10 Based][MIUI CM10 Based], it's not officially been released and as someguy has already said custom ROMs will be rooted anyway so you don't have to. First thing to do now you're rooted is to backup your Phone in CWM then start looking at flashing ROMs.
So after a lot of reading tonight I think I see my issue, I checked se site and ICS is available for LT15i but clearly not released by my carrier (PC companion says I am up to date on (GB 3.0.1.A.0.145 sigh). I could install the stock rom if my phone was able to have bootloader unlocked (*#*#7378423#*#* bootloader not shown in configuration menu) and apparently there is no way to do this other than pay for it which sucks!
The only alternative is to install a custom ROM that works with a locked bootloader but I cannot figure out which ones will work for me so for now I think I just have to wait for my carrier or fork out €€€...
Thanks for your help and patience

You don't need unlocked bootloader to install stock ROM. If you do it via Flashtool.
I have tried installing 4.1.A.0.562 (perhaps this is not the correct ROM) using flashtool (using flashmode) and it bombed out then I tried xpart cwm but same result just looked at your ROM link and will try again with 4.1.B.0.431
Cheers

Hi irish, just a few comments, not sure how you've read my guide and come away with the conclusion that you need to unlock the bootloader to update your ROM or why you're trying to flash 2 old ROMs when I link to the latest 587. Patience is key.
ok so a severe case of brain fart I think, back when I tried this at the start of the week the flashboot failed hence my assumption that it was related to bootloader locked and hence my chasing down rabbit holes began. Looks like it was all down to having MTP enabled!! I am flashing A version of 587 I found earlier in the week (could not fine a link a 587 ROM on your post but this post indicates that 431 is oldest for LT15i.....?. Anyway it is flashing now and I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again for your assistance. I think I have been reading so many posts and hoping back and forth I have tied myself in knots
Thanks again

It can happen. Sorry about the link, I wrote a guide specifically for the Arc which you can find HERE and forgot I'd removed it from my sig so my bad on that. You can find a 587 ftf HERE
Guys
So sorry I had thought I had posted an update, needless to say all worked well for me. Thanks again for all the help

So i have Googled i747m stock rom. But the top result comes up to be "unroot" i747m.
Unless I am confusing the terms. I want to use the stock rom (for the stability sake) but I still want root access. Does installing stock rom = uproot?
And by the way. Rom works for I747 will work for i747m, right?

I apologize for the confusion. but may i get some help regarding this question?
Search the boards for rooted stock firmware
And research how to perform a factory reset after you flash that stock firmware. You will need that information.
A question friends, before taking the last step
I have a Roger I747M with bootloader and modem I747MVLDMF1 with v5 version of MIUI android 4.2.2, now the next thing is, I can update the bootloader to the latest version and still use the rom I have?
It keeps the recovery TWR working?
I can still install custom rom
I hope you can help me solve my doubts.
thanks :good:

How are you trying to install it? Did you go to the official MIUM website?
http://en.miui.com/download.html
Before installing custom ROMs, please do your research thoroughly and be sure you know what you're doing as there is no easier way to brick or backdoor your phone.

Go to CM's website and use the built in installer.
Also you need to report your post so it can be moved to the sprint s3 area so you can get users familiar with your device to help you. This area is for the international i9300 and anything you flash or instructions you follow from here will brick your phone as you need to perform more steps first before you can get underway.

That depends on your setup....you can simply flash any 4.4.2 Based ROM in Development PREVIEW by team d3rp or Team 420's OpTimuS, but you will need to make sure that you have the KK based modem....found in Autoprime's thread. The instructions for everything are the threads....That's all I got.

Again, you have failed to clearly state what you mean by, "unlocked", which also is the main reason why you're still over here asking questions in the wrong section of the forum...
The link provided to you is the latest Official Sprint release Stock and Rooted...direct questions regarding that ROM to that specific thread.

If I avoid all of the reply you gave me was because all does threats you post, was for CUSTOM roms where you have to root and instal no official things on your phone.....What I need is CLEAN OFFICIAL STOCK FIRMWARES. Thats what I am asking for.
No offense but he was trying to help you stating that you're in the wrong section of the forums to ask this. He directed you to where you could go to ask these things and even offered an alternative. Quite frankly he went above and beyond to help you considering this section is only for custom ROM development. You should direct yourself over to the Q&A section of the forum for these things where you'll get whatever help it is you're seeking which sounds like what you need is to just use the latest .tot and call it a day. I'm going to report this thread to have it moved. It really doesn't belong in this section dude.
