[Q] Root & un-root question

Hi there,
I think(!) I want to root my Xperia Arc so I can remove all the junk SE loaded it with. I also think I'd like to un-root if afterwards as apparently my banking app won't run on a rooted phone, and it's one of the few genuinely useful apps (for me anyway).
Is what I've described above likely to work? I'd rather be lumbered with the crummy apps than lose the banking one!
Thanks,
Toby

[Q] APK security hole patch?

Hey I have a xperia s running free xperia 10.
I was wondering if there is a way to patch the security hole which was recently discovered concerning compromised apks which affected 99% of all android phones.
Do i have to wait until the free xperia project fixes the hole and then install a new rom or can i patch it some how ?

I to downloaded and ran this bluebox app.
I ran the app, I am patched! don't know how, unless the latest ROM I flashed patched it, as I've downloaded nothing new (apps) from google play just app updates, I never update software (as I just flash), so how did I obtain the patch?
No malicious apps found, instal from unknown sources allowed.
I can assume I am safe? negating unknown sources allowed.
Just simply confused how my phone is patched, without me knowing, a good thing but can't see how it happened, unless the app & ROM updates did it
Advice/info appreciated.

just be careful on what you download, never download apps on unknown/shady sites(warez) and download apps only from well know developer or company, or just use playstore and you will be alright.

stock kernel anyone?

Hi!
I would like to start experimenting with my Xperia S (currently with the latest stock ROM). I rooted the smartphone, made backup of the DRM keys and unlocked the bootloader. I would like to have, just in case, the stock kernel of the Xperia. Is anyone who can share it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Can't confirm it is rooted or not though.

Thank you, I would like to have it "just in case", the ract of rooting or not is a minor thing. Thx for the upload!

Root only method for XZ2 Compact (Oreo). Does Exist?

Hi there
I am looking for the method to root my Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact, but still nothing. I don't want to unlock bootloader and lost DRM keys (and waisting the time for repairing) . I don't need to flash custom roms. Root privilages are more than enough for me.
Anybody testes something and is able to help?
Thanks in advance
