since you seem to be slightly new to this, i would HIGHLY reccomend you give someone that you know with greater experience to do this for you and show you since the steps are slightly tedious looking.

Hello xda forum!
I´m kinda noob in the world of custimizing android devices, my first device was a SGA so that was an easy one, but now I have a xperia arc s with the official 4.0.4 rom made by sony the build number is 4.1.B.0 and I want to root it but i can´t, I have tried the DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip method but it failed i think because it requires the build no 4.1.A , the 2nd atempt was to flash a kernel made also by doomlord to put the build number into 4.1.A or somthing like that but it also failed becuse i can´t boot into fastboot mode, so i made a research around xda forum and I found that some devices are locked by the mobile operator, so they can´t boot into fastboot mode. Now my question is does this device is rubish or do I have a solution? what can i do?
thanx!! to all the people that can help me.
P.D.1: sorry for my bad english xD
P.D.2: don´t be like "uuhh! look around xda, you´ll find the answer" please I need some help.

Since I am new to this forum I am not allowed to post to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460&page=3 Can anyone tell me if this method would work for xperia arc s running build no .587, with locked bootloader. I am new to rooting so fear messing things up so want to make sure that this will work before I try it out.
Try it and see.

try this
thanks to Overlo4d for this tutorial
1) flash the 4.1.A.0.562 kernel http://www.mediafire.com/?twn09p8ekug46f7 (thanks to sathurnn)
note: you might get errors after the reboot, don't worry, this is normal and step 3 will fix that.
2) root your Arc/s with DooMLoRD's tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1601038
3) flash the 4.1.B.0.587 kernel
Arc S kernel only:

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this has been answered before as I've actually found many threads but they all seem to redirect to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
My questions is as follows; using the method above, how can I update an Xperia S that is already rooted without loosing root? The thread above seems to explain how to root altogether, but I just want to update and keep the root. Thanks in advance for any help provided. My Xperia S is on 6.1.A.0.452 and I'd like to have 6.1.A.2.45. I've also seen people talk about JellyBean but as far as I know that's not available on the Xperia S until February, how are these people getting it?
.45 and .50 can be rooted...

Could I bother you with a guide based on the method shown in the following link? I would really appreciate it. I'm totally a noob, but I learn really fast, so guidance for this rookie will guarantee you that I will learn to do things on my own. Thanks!

Just use the binary root tool at the top of the development forum

Just update your phone & root with bin4ry method.If u want to update to.55 then just flash rom of .55 through cwm.
If u want to use jelly bean then u have to unlock your bootloader

"Always working" method is flash 6.1.A.2.50 with Flashtool (without wiping anything, except if you wish) and root with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Rooting itself is done in 5 minutes. Flashing? Also 5 mins.
6.1.A.2.55 firmware is not rootable, you can just flash prerooted .55 rom in CWM, but for that you still need rooted .50.
My phone is sony xperia acro s
And I try to install Rom
[ROM][AOSP] - Android 5.1.1 - Beta 2
But I did not understand clearly installation steps
There was a particular topic to explain the installation
[Guide] [XAS] [UPDATED] Xperia Unlocking BL, flashing ROMs/kernels (BPaul's 5.1.1 B2)
I tried to take advantage of it this topic to learn how to install, but it failed me again
I ask you if there is one of you can explain these steps in detail Lee
I tried a lot to it, but did not succeed in one step and come on
unlocking bootloader
Please help me thank you

Thank you
