Can I Root without any computer connection.

I DO NOT want to use my computer with any command stuff.
My bootloader is unlocked and i have stock recovery.
I tried with all the driver stuff very very confusing. My phone is not even showing up anymore on my computer.
(TOO complicated)
Why can't i just do the same thing with other Samsung Phones-Drag root into system storage then just flash.Easy.

My recovery shows an android with a red triangle...

no.

why did they make it sooo hard

In your case I would say just go get a toolkit and use that. There is no way, where you are at, to root your device. You NEED to flash a custom recovery which cannot be done on anything other than a computer to root your device.

The toolkit includes device drivers and will do basically anything you need it to do.

It's really not that hard, actually only a couple commands and pushing some buttons on your phone.
*Plug In Phone*
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
*Volume up* *Power Button*
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery Recovery.img
*Volume Down* *Volume Down* *Power Button*
Install Zip from SD Card - SuperSU.zip.
Reboot.
Done. Takes at most 10 minutes.

Odin isn't used on Nexus devices (as far as I know.) They use the Android standard, which is fastboot.
fastboot oem unlock
That's the command to unlock your bootloader. Be aware, it'll wipe your phone (security measure.)

ODIN actually is built into the device, but I think is actually more complicated than just using fastboot.

Sounds like you don't have the Fastboot drivers set up.

May the problem be because my laptop is running windows 8.

If that's all you want to do is root & leave your device on stock you can just temporarily boot a custom recovery & flash the super user.

Nooo

[Q] Cyanogenmod Through ROM Manager

Hi, I have searched everywhere for the solution to my problem I even tried posting in cyanogenmod official forum but no one posted back so I'm gonna try posting my problem here
I just rooted my Arc S (LT18i) and I wanted to install cyanogen mod in it the only problem is that I can't :/
My bootloader is locked so fastboot mode in my phone isn't enabled , I don't wanna pay 20$ just to unlock it so I bought and instaled Rom Manager, I've read that I could also intall cyanogen mod through there.
When I select "Download ROM" it said that I needed to install CWM and it asked me if I wanted to install it now, I said yes and selected my phone model, then it said that my phone isn't yet supported, no problem I just needed to use x-part to download and install CWM , everything went fine in x-part and now I have CWM, then I tried going to "Download ROM" again, once again it says that I need to install CWM, I just said that I installed it manualy it accepts it and Cyanogen wasn't on the list .. I don't know why.
I have the lincensed version and I do have Advanced mode on.
Can someone please help me, I realy wan't to install cyanogen mod in my phone.
Thanks for reading

As you need to flash the CM kernel you need to unlock the boot loader.

Rom Manager does not support Xperia.

Open Xperia Arc development Section find unlock bootloader thread ,and start learning HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, its really easy actually

You would still need to unlock your bootloader. See the guides and stickys, as no boot loader is unlockable.

[Q] Can't flash back to ,62

Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I flashed the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562. I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.
So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343[/url]), but it dosen't work. what else can I do? Try with another kernel?
I also tried this, but it didn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711. I don't know if it helps but i have the bootloader locked.
Sorry if repost, google but didn't find anything related. thanks anyway.

If you cannot repair with Update Service, try PC Companion. It should offer the repair function.

Had a similar problem, caused by wrong kernel (at least i think so). Anyho, there was no "repair" option for me either.
What you should do is:
- Flash back to stock GB firmware (0.62)
- Root (using eRoot, it's a one click procedure.)
- Install CWM using RecoveryX is the simplest way i'd say
- Flash the kernel which Jared proposed (can't remember which one sorry)
- boot into CWM, and follow the instructions to install UltimadeHD rom. I'd suggest Tesla's instructions, they are fail-proof. Remember to click on "unlocked bootloader" if your bootloader is locked.

I'd have to unlock my bootloader, which I do not want to do until I can safely back up my DRM keys and so forth. I know unlocking sony phones removes bravia engine and other stuff.

I have tried googling it but no luck.
Only way for me to root is to unlock bootloader it seems.
EDIT; I got root access!!
I unlocked the bootloader via flashtool. I still have bravia engine/camera/etc.

here are the steps I did..I will do my best to provide anything I can.
First thing; unlock the bootloader. I unlocked it via flashtool. i still have bravia engine/clear audio, so that's intact. Put the SUPERSU 2.40 on your SD Card along with the dual recovery flash file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793
After that I used fastboot to install the CWM recovery( fastboot.exe flash recovery boot.img), and rebooted.
I rebooted into CWM and flashed the dual recovery. follow the instructions to boot into TWRP(I like this recovery.)and flash SUPERSU 2.40. Wipe cache/dalvik/system. If you get a bootloop, reboot into recovery and flash the pre rooted stock firmware from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-d5303-4-4-3-pre-rooted-stock-t2962677. then reboot.
another fun fact? I also successfully backed up the TA Partition. woo!

What file did you flash at first? Is it T2U-SS_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-207_v01.img ?
It didn't work for me, I could not reboot into CWM or whatever custom recovery it contains.
Thank you!

Sure.
BEFORE ANYTHING; Put supersu 2.40 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793 on your SD Card!!
I used flashtool(http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php)to unlock the bootloader first. I still had my TA Keys so it should be fine.
after unlocking the bootloader, reboot into fastboot mode(I think it's while the phone boots up, you hold power+up vol). and use this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685932 to boot into CWM recovery.
Once you're in CWM, Install the dual recovery and reboot phone. Hold down vol when the green LED turns on, you will reboot into TWRP. Touch controls won't work but if you press the power button and press it again, touch works.
Install SuperSU 2.40 and you should be okay..

That kernel works on 4.4.2? in the CWM thread right in the first post it says requirements 4.3. Need more details before I move forward with this.
I am on a US D5316 running 4.4.2 , build 19.1.A.0.486.

Phone stopped working for no reason - can only get as far as the bootloader now

Tried looking through threads and have spent all day trying to fix it.
Phone was working fine a couple days ago until it ran out of battery. Since then nothing.
If I try to turn on normally I get stuck on the Google screen. Only other thing I can do is boot into fastboot/bootloader but from there, if I try Recovery mode it sticks in a bootloop

I think you have a hardbrick bootloop, There is fortunately a kernel and recovery developed by developers to overcome this problem, but you'll need a unlocked bootloader as it involves flashing recovery and boot.img. If you have boot loader unlocked, go to general section where you'll find a thread regarding the same. All the best

I tried that - flashed the recovery but when I try to launch recovery mode I just get a bootloop again.
