[Q] Arc Rooting.

---

HI everyone . i m using xperia arc 2.3.4 and the firmware build number 4.0.2.A.0.62. i would like to root the device.
i came across so many places and they r saying to downgrade to .42 and root. and i din find any further procedure to downgrade. and i m having doubt like do i need to downgrade? or for downgrade , do i need to unlock the bootloader?
please guide me to root my device. i like this Default ROM and i dont want to change.

is there any possiblity to root in .62?

i jus need to remove lot of unwanted apps from the device..

Plz help and Thanks in advance..

Due to the near ICS update, nobody make efforts to find an exploit to root *.62.
So, the only way is downgrade to *.42 with flashtool, root (with flashtool also) than OTA.

Thank you, but can u tel m the procedure??

0. Read carefully BEFORE starting the process, if you are doing this for the first time.
1. Download Flashtool. Install it.
2. Download *.42 firmware. Follow instructions given by jlmcr87 in this post. NB. If you have problems connecting your phone with Flashtool, install Sony Gordon Gate drivers manually.

Alternatively, you can flash freely with Wotan, root with Flashtool, then OTA.
