If im not mistaken, arc s android 4.0.4 is not rootable unless you flash the kernel from version 4.0.3/build 562. Try looking around, there are tons of thread about rooting the android 4.0.4

Sorry but that's the reply you've got. Your 4.0.4 is not rootable

What they said was right. That file will help you root your phone by exploiting a loophole in the .562 kernel.
So flash the kernel and you're good to go.

By the way what is your bootloader status..is it locked or unlock..?
Sent from my Xperia Arc using xda premium

dont know about boot loader status.... how do i find that out?

if i dont know the bootloader status then probably its locked ! any solution with a locked BL?
its been more than 10 minutes since the sony logo is displayed.

Press dial phone
*#*#7378423#*#*....when it said Bootloader unlock : yes

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12873655
Or if just want to keep on stock..I suggest you to reflash the stock rom/firmware..follow the instruction carefully..

So just doing last step : reflash the firmware...

Sony Xperia S Help!

Hi,
I m new to the forums.
I have a sony xperia s with a locked bootloader but has been rooted.
i have cwm installed on it and currently have XZXperiance_2 installed.
I would like to go back to the offical ICS 4.0.4 Rom.
The phone says it is still logged as 4.0.4 but with different system on it.
I would like to go back to the origional system because of the official JB Update in the next few weeks.
If some could help me step by step it would be much help =]
I have set it back to factory settings but doesnt go back to the origional system i dont think i backed up the old system =[
Any help would be much appriciatted,
Many Thanks
Dan

Use flashtool from development part of Xperia s forum.
Download it, instal drivers, download ICS 4.0.4 generic world and flash it via flashtool.

All the files needed to do that are in the themes and apps sub forum.
If you want to find them quicker look through all the threads I've started as I created the deodexed /system partition and SUPERUSERMOD for all 4.3 firmwares for both the XMD and XMS.
