.62 can't be rooted(yet), unless you use a custom kernel.

You have to downgrade to .42, and then use zerRush tool for make root.

i just bought my arc s
and after the initial setup guide, my phone offered me to update it to 4.0.2.A.0.62.
And, I guess, if I want to root it, i shouldn't upgrade it?
i know, it's off topic, but, please help me, i bought it like two hours ago

Excatly. Keep the current version and root. .62 doesn't offer any significant advantages.
Hello. I also just got my Arc S, and updated it to .62, even before I thinked that I will maybe want to root it and uninstall blotware. So, can I downgrade to 58. or 42. and then root it? If, yes how can I do this?
Few more questions:
1.How can I check if I have locked or unlocket bootloader?
2.How to root ARC S with 58. or 42. firmware?
3.Can I unroot it after removing unnessesary apps?
Tnx for help, and sorry for bad English.
The simplest way to have root on .62 is while on .42(or if too late - downgrade to .42), root with flashtool, and update over the air. Root remains that way. Don't modify anything in system folder before the update, or it will fail.

1. If you didn't unlock, you are with locked bootloader
2. With flashtool is the easiest way
3. Why should you do that?
.;'.
the firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42 is much more better than 4.0.2.A.0.62...
.. i am correct..???

I don't think so...
And where do I find .42 firmware for Arc S? And it should work in Slovenia.
Can you give instructions on how to downgrade via flashtools, and how to root after that?
Tnx
Here's the .42 for central europe, it should work in Slovenia.

Download and install flashtool - http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
Put the phone in debug mode, start the program, plug the phone, wait to detect, select flash - flashmode and follow the instructions. Then root with flashtool, after restart. There are many threads on how to use flashtool, search.
THX All ... Waiting 4 root 4 .62..
Hi, again. So I downgraded to .42, rooted with Flashtool and OTA updated to 62. and root remained. But now I have unlocked the bootloader by fastboot, and Superuser icon in still in the menu and if I conect the phone to Flashtool it says "root access alowed". So did root remained, at unlocking the bootloader, or should I root it again.
Sorry for silly questions, and sorry for bad English.

just try it.
if you can access superuser(give root permission to specific app eg. root explorer, no frills cpu, etc) then you are rooted.
if you've unlocked BL, do not confirm OTA upgrade anymore!

Hello!
I want to downgrade too from .62 to .42 but i cant find the appropriate firmware. I'm from Romania, could the above "central europe" firmware work for me too? If not, could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Yeah, that one works, use that one

I have a question, I rooted my Xperia Arc S with OneSuperClick.
Will updating to the new firmware unroot it? You mentioned that if it was rooted using FlashTool it would not unroot... what about this other tool I mention?
Thanks for any help in advance.

One reason why I would want is because Good for enterprise (corporate email) doesn't support rooted phones .. so I can remove bloatware and unroot it back

Hello everyone,
I'm new in the forum, and there are many things that I don't understand about rooting, so I have a question :
I already updated my Xperia M C1905 to 4.3 official update, is there a root, or full root (I don't know the difference) that can work for me ? I found just some topics talking about rooting the 4.1, or rooting while upgrading to 4.3 at the same time I guess, if someone can explain to me, or give me some helpfull links for rooting my Xperia M that is already on the official 4.3.
(This is my first smartphone, and I don't know anything about rooting and Sorry if I'm asking too much)
Thanks in advace ^^
If you don't want to unlock your bootloader, the only way to root is downgrading to 4.1 and then using the root before update script I made. Otherwise you just unlock your bootloader and install CWM recovery, from CWM you flash SuperSU update package and you're done.
Jus keep in mind that by unlocking your bootloader you will void your warranty and your DRM keys will be wiped (some proprietary Sony apps will stop working without these keys)...

Hi.
I have been rooted my Xperia T2 Dual.
But after finishing new Sony update to 4.4.3 (firmware 19.1.1.C.0.56) my root access is removed.
I tried to re-root my device in old ways such as Easy Root or DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit but any of them didn't work.
Do you have any idea how to re-root T2 Dual in android 4.4.3 ???
Thanks.

Thank You so much for your complete explanations.
I've done that and my phone is rooted.
BUT when I want to update my SuperSu, it fails!
And when I want to access to my system folders by other programs, they said that your phone is rooted but can't grant RW permission on /system folder.
What should I do?!
Is there any progress on this issue?

A little bit of research never hurts, and you should've done that in the first place.

There won't be a prerooted .kdz or root for 5.0. Never. Deal with it.
The only way to get root on lolipop is to flash 4.4.2 kdz, root it, install recovery and then install prerooted 5.0 rom
(i do understand that 5.0 MAY be rooted via an exploit at some point of time, don't make posts stating that.)
I had Lollipop .242 prerooted, then I upgraded with PC Companion to new .270 and I lost the root
How can I get root permissions?
Searching for the same.

It's common to lose root when you update OTA.... you'll need to re-root again and then next time if you want to keep your root privs you'll know what not to do....
