You will not lose any features because of rooting. It is also reversible if you later need to unroot for some reason.

To unroot you could Odin the stock tar file or you could simply open the SuperSu app(it get install with Cf Autoroot) and choose the full unroot option.

Seriously, dude....there is a search button that will help you find any one of the 8 billion threads that already describe all of the steps to do everything you want to do.
There are guides already written with easy to follow step by step intructions.
When you registered here you agreed to use teh search button to try and find such threads for yourself. You've clearly not do that. I mean there are stickied threads with links to all this stuff. They are the first threads on the top of the threads lists!
A minute of searching could have prevented the entire need for this thread. And that's important as we can't have every new user asking the same question abotu how to root. The answers are already out there for a reason.

Rooting alone will not make your phone faster.

There's no tutorial there though, it has instructions there with the presumption that most people know about rooting.
I don't know anything about rooting, I'm a total newbie Lol, that's why I need help

If you are a total newbie i think you should read up on what root is and what you can do before you root your phone. You can mess up quite good if you dont know that you are doing.

It's very simple.
You have to download the package in the zergRush Exploit thread, then unzip the content of zip in a folder in your pc.
At the last go in to folder where you extract zip, and click on "runme.bat" (you have to follow only what appair on your pc screen).
I think it's really the easiest method there is in xda to root a device.

Try to install this file i attached. For me worked with W7/64bit.
If dont work for you install android SDK Here, and then follow the instruction here, when you finish you will able to do what you want with adb driver .
Is it possible to flash .42 kernel and then to use zergrush method?

Thanks, you're helping me out a lot because I really am clueless and this whole forum is overwhelming Lol.
So once I've rooted, I understand I can unroot it. But is unrooting as easy as rooting? Does it involve flashing/unlocking bootloader? As I intend to keep my bootloader locked.

Don't worry all this operation you describe are reversible. You can unroot your Arc for sure, and all operation are easy as root.
For the bootloader depends what you will want do with your device. If you want change kernel, rom maybe it's better if you unlock it.

In regards to my previous post I meant that would unrooting require flashing? I just intend to root to get rid of some apps on my Arc S (i.e. facebook app) and then unroot again.
Anyhow I've rooted it :-D
But for some reason Busybox didn't install itself, so had to manually install it from the market
Just a question, because I´m a newbie too and I´m thinking of rooting my phone (also to delete some apps and free some space):
Why don´t you use the "Namaste" guide ?? Doesn´t work on your firmware ?

Need some Guidance on Backup & Root?

I no longer root, or modify anything deep like roms. I'm all default right now. However, I really am disipointed with Androids ablitiy to back up. I recently did a hard reset and can not believe how many customization's I did unit I had to recreate everthing.
My question.
Is there still no real solution to make a backup of your Android Devcie that includes system settings and App data without rooting?
If a root is required, Is there a simple minimal root procedure that would give me the ablitly to make full backups using something like Titanium Backup?

If you want to ROOT then there's a lot of one-click root options out there. You just have to search. Its quite easy.
I would recommend rooting if you're trying to do a full system backup. Titanium backup will backup all the programs+data but it won't backup your home screens and all that stuff. Nandroid backup will, however. For that you will need a custom recovery. Either CWM (through ROM manager, it's the easiest way, or TWRP).

Please....for the love of god/bubba/spaghetti monster.... read read read. Then do some research, and read some more before rooting. The guide mentioned here will teach you all you need to know. Just be sure to follow it. If your new to rooting I would NOT use a one click method. You don't learn anything that way.

Not necessary as in if you do not do it it will not work. It is optional you can do it if you want to or not up to you.

Unrooting through SuperSu

Hey guys. Its nothing major here, im just curious. If I ever need to do an OTA or return my phone, is it ok to unroot through SuperSu or i'll have to flash something?
Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk HD
You dont need to unroot to run a system update directly from android. If you dont protect root, you'll have to re-root after OTA has applied. Which is probably easier.
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170
To return the device: just reflash stock, relock bootloader, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Oh and next time, please read/search before you post.

yeah, no need to thank me, i work here
since that was all you wanted, you could just have searched Chainfire's thread for SuperSU here in XDA - or just test it yourself.
