Please Help Root Have Tried Every Thing

Hey guys I am trying to root my dad's Xperia Arc S but unfortunatelly I am having the most hardest time
I have tried anything to everything from flashboot to zerg rush to even droid break nothing is working
I believe the problem is my windows xp not having the correct Xperia Arc S drivers which i have installed i think
Although i have unlocked bootloader with flashboot
I cannot root
I even tried flash tool but same thing happens the computer does not recognize the phone for some reason
Can anyone point me to the right direction ?
Thank you

and this phone has gingerbread 2.3.4 not ICS

What firmware version you are on?

If your phone's firmware is .62 then you cannot root. You must downgrade to .42 firmware

How do i downgrade
do i just use flashboot to downgrade???

hmm my firmware is 4.0.2.A.0.62

i tried to downgrade from flashtool but the same thing occoured whenever i try to downgrade or flash i get this message in the flashtool
ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
i have installed the drivers countless times! can yall help me

Try reboot. It solved my problem with flashtool once.

to flash the firmware do i hold the back button and plug in the usb or the menu button and then plub in the usb?

Yes, you hold back button while plugging the device. NOT the volume down or menu button.
As for drivers. Try with uninstalling everything from your comp, Flashtool, SUS, PC Companion, etc... And then do a clean install of Flashtool + drivers.
Then boot your comp into safe mode (just to be sure, as sometimes some background processes are preventing drivers from being installed) and then connect your phone to comp into flash mode (back button while connecting cable), and let your phone be recognised.
Then you can reboot your comp back into normal state, and then perform flashing.

I tried, till it went vibrate 3 times. But the booting was still stuck on SONY logo

Keep your mobile for charging for some time and then reboot,I think it's the battery bug that's preventing the boot..you may have ignored low battery level (below.20%) which may have caused the phone to switch off..

If seus doesn't recognize your device then Download ftf (firmware file) specific to your device and region (search for it in android development) then flash the firmware using latest version of flashtool(really easy and only takes little time)...also remember to check only appslog while flashing and unchecking others(cache,etc),this will flash the firmware without loosing any data and will surely get u rid of the bootloops..for more help this page will help you to flash the firmware properly....( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229250)

Plug the phone in the wall charger. The phone battery will die then start to charge again. mine took about 2 full days before it showed red led. It all depends on how full ur battery was when it soft bricked tho..

I'd flash stock firmware now... You don't have to do something special. After that your phone should be working again.

You should go to flashmode, not to fastboot. It's volume down i think. BTW did blue led appear when you tried fastboot?

Plug it into computer while holding volume up. A green light should appear. You are then ready to flash the ftf file.

Are you pressing it BEFORE you connect it ? You've got to press it before you connect it and keep pressing it until you connect it and green led appear. Because if you press it after you connected it, nothing will happen, phone will be just charging

Aftab bhai click on ''flashmode'' donot connect the phone via cable.... Press up button.. Keep pressing it and then connect the data cable to ur pc and see if it's showing some light or not. If volume up doesn't work then try volume down .I hope it surely will work

Make sure u have proper driver installed in your windows 8 system...there is some driver issue with windows 8.
Start Flashtool before connecting your phone. So that u will know if your phone is connected properly. connect USB to ur PC holding the down button. If tthings go right, it should go in flashmode and green LED should be on,..
Now, click the lightening button in flashtool and select the ftf file from your pc harddisk...it should flash ftf in your phone.

[Q] Flashmode problem

I am not able to put my xperia m in flashmode using the flashtool. I tried turning off phone and then holding volume down and inserting the USB cable but nothing happens, there is no led flashing when i do that. Also my phone is not charging while connected to pc when its turned off.
I have every driver installed and i am using the lastest version of flashtool.

Dude you need to hold Vol + button to enter in fastboot.

I have tried both volume up and vol down nothing happens.

Does your phone charge through your charger when it is switched off?

when you connect your phone to pc in normal mode then does it detects??

No my phone doesn't charge with the charger when its turned off. And my pc detects my phone when connected normally.

If it's a soft brick, you can repair from PCC or flash using flashtool.

Lets just analyze your problem:
You launched flashtool and started a flash session.And then a window appeared in flashtool saying that you have to connect your phone in flashmode. You pressed Volume+ and connected your phone.
I want to know what happened next,
Did the window telling you to connect the device in flashmode close down automatically?
Was a pop-pup shown in your pc telling you to choose your phone model?
If these didnt happen, what else did?
I can help you certainly if you can answer these questions.

How do i unbrick my phone? I can't take it to center because i have rooted and unlocked bootloader.

If it's a hard brick we can do nothing about it.
