Someone needs to test this (I'm already unlocked/rooted) and if it works, then this needs to be stickied!

No because you are not wiping data so the file needed to root won't be deleted

You need to be on gingerbread rom at start so you need to install gingerbread first then install ice cream sandwich afterwards.
It's quite complicated procedure...
Just want some technical explanations before trying.
Flash Gingerbread
Upload the /data/local.prop ICS tricks
Back to ICS without wiping data, so those tricks could be kept
Play the tricks in ICS
Got pwned
Am I right?

Root will be gone if you wipe.
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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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

I used Kingroot. Even if it says it can't, just tap root. It should root and reboot it.
KingRoot is the answer.

Yes,KingRoot will work. I'm also on 5.1.1 with Unlocked Bootloader and the latest version of KingRoot worked like a charm. Replaced it with SuperSU later and now everything looks good.

What method did you use to to replace KingRoot with SuperSU? I've seen an app on the Play store called Super-Sume, but it costs $4. I was wondering, is there was a better alternative? I've seen some guides online, but they were written in very poor English.
I'm trying to root a T2 Ultra and put link2sd on it to solve the low storage problem. It currently on Lollipop 5.1.1
Thanks!
