There are actually two ways to root on locked bootloader;
1) Use towelroot and then apply the remount fixer, using towelroot on its own will only provide a half root. LINK
2) Root on 4.1.2 (or 4.2.2 if you have a DS) and then use the nicki root toolkit to root. This method should also apply the remount fix for you. LINK

So today after watching tutorial videos and reading about it I finally made my mind and decided to flash/root my xperia arc. The build no of my stock was .431 now what I did was download the '.431 ready to root ftf' and flashed my phone, now when I tried to root it it gave me several errors mkdir failed for tmp, File exists and rm failed for *, No such file or directory and to make thing worse the memory card messed up and I had to format it and lost all the data. Now I've recovered the phone using pc companion but I failed very badly
I have no idea what exactly did I do wrong?

Not a clue, the memory card shouldn't have been affected so god knows. Just start over.

is there any other way of rooting my device? like if I unlock the bootloader will it be easier to root it? and how do I go about cfw/kernel/mods in a unlocked bootloader?

Read the stickys, and the individual threads for instructions.
Go to setting after flash the ready to root 4.0.3. Click at xperia. Click connectivity. Click USB connection mode. Choose MSC. The default is MTP if i not mistaken. Then root your phone and flash back 4.0.4 kernel.
This method i using when i root my phone last week. Before that it was giving me so many error.
Im on LOCKED BOOTLOADER while doing that

Yes, after unlocking the bootloader flash a kernel, and then install a custom rom that's pre-rooted. Much easier way if you don't mind not sticking with stock.

what kernel and ROM should I get?

Normally I use the Arcknight kernel (Get version 3.5.1 or 3.3 because 3.6 is broken), but since Sony released the new .587 build I'm sticking with this kernel for now.
Now with Roms I suggest you go with this one its really good .
Okay I just rooted it sucessfully but I kept the bootloader locked.
How do I flash Arcknight 3.5.4 on my locked bootloader?

So how do I go about getting 'Xperia Ice Bean 4.0.4'?
If that's not possible then can you please recommend some good ROMs for locked BL if there are any?

If you're going to root then you might as well unlock the BL. If IceBean needs a custom kernel then you can't use it, if not follow the instructions.

I unlocked the bootloader and now running cyanogen mod
however the usb transfer speed is rather slow, around 2.5mbps?
I'm curious on how difficult it is to fix a ROM to run on stock kernel? Does anybody know of a good tutorial? I love my ion but unfortunately can't unlock the bootloader which leaves me with a stock kernel

It's because you have a carrier locked Xperia S. The above method wont work with it, also if you have the SIM unlock code the bootloader wont unlock. Do one thing,mail your carrier and sony asking if unlocking bootloader is possible.
BTW you can still root your device and install custom ROMs just search the forum.
I found Jelly Sandwich too slow so I down graded to this stock ROM. Now when I run the root for scripting I get a bunch of permission denied messages and it doesn't work. How can I root the phone? I can't unlock the boot loader.
Before asking questions that have been asked a thousand times try searching in future. how to root arc
you have to download and flash a rootable ftf. Here's one for arc s

According to this thread with a locked boot loader custom kernels can't be flashed. Is it that you can flash stock kernels but not custom ones?
yep. stock kernels you can flash because they're stock - stock ics already uses them. custom ones, you can't.
If you hAve Xperia pro then follow the below link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801480
And if not pro then follow the procedure and use you phone kernel.
If I helped you press thanks.

8.0. I don't think I can try the latest version because how will I install CWM without having root?

As soon as your bootloader is unlocked you can flash any kernel which mostly will have CWM included.

Well, What if I only want CWM/TWRP recovery for now? unlocking bootloader felt safer for Xplay and xperia neo L ( 2011-12 devices ) .... but I dont wish to unlock bootloader just yet... I guess the OP just wanted a way to have Nandroid backup ability, if something went wrong while using say... xposed modules, or other root apps, or tweaking the build.prop ... so is it possible to get CWM/TWRP on stock ROM and Kernel ?
