have you enabled unknown sources and usb debugging?
Oh, really?? How amazing! Does it mean that not just microSD card content but also all my apps, data, call log,... and so on... everything intact?
only if you untick this option before flashing.
you better ask aeonworld, he is the one who wrote the xperia pro tutorial.
hello,
First of all I would to thanks for the great tutorial here. I have only one question regarding the copy/paste of the files to the /system folder.
I've did all the 3 steps with out errors, after the reboot it keept telling me that the phone has been granted root persmission but when I want to move a file from the SDcard to /system or other folder I'm receiving an error: warning cannot move this file or something like this. I don't know why I'm getting this error because the phone is rooted
Can anyone help me out with some advices?
Thank you in advance!
BlackS0ull
have you mounted R/W in root explorer?
As you haven't rooted once you need adb drivers (try google it " adb sdk or adb drivers ") then flashtool, it's in the development section I think, then proceed as I said in the post
OR just download flashtool (around 143mb zip) and install all drivers from the drivers folder in the zip

on 4.0.4 i have Done That All Precautions.
and on flashing 4.0.3 we Didn't erase User Data. Means All those Setting remains as It Is..BUT still the i m Getting ""System Is Read Only Like Something.."
if Anyone have Letest .431 Rooted Kernel..
then Please Provide it
that will be Much easier to get ROOT
I'm using File Explorer, not Root Explorer .... but on ICS (other version, previous that 4.0.4) I was able to use also File Explorer for moving files on /system

you don't root the the kernel, you root the system. the 4.0.4 kernel prevents us from rooting the system, thats why we flash the 4.0.3 kernel before rooting.
Hello I had some trouble after the Root process with the apns using the "French Firmware Ready to Root" I was able to download the Internet connection settings from my provider but I coudn't change the Apn Manually. Settings terminated itself.
No Issues with "Global Firmware ready to Root"
My Place is Germany!

Here a simple method to root 4.0.4
1. Flash your .ftf via Flashtool
2. Enter recovery: fastboot boot recoveryARC.img (if you don"t have a recovery) (in the package)
3. Sets scripts assets: ENABLED
4. Flash RootXperia.zip via recovery
5. Reboot and voila ! your device is rooted.
Why complicate when you can do it easily

For Xperia Arc/S:
1) flash the ready to root 4.0.4

Thanks to overlo4d and others who provided the ftf and other tools
Hit Thanks If I Helped6
Perfect...so now just follow the steps below (DO NOT CONNECT THE PHONE TO THE COMPUTER YET)
1. download the the lt18i_4.1.B.0.431_kernel_down_upgrade file if you haven't already from http://www.mediafire.com/?twn09p8ekug46f7
(It is the LT18i kernel but you can use it)
2. extract the file, you will have two files called 1_lt18i_4.1.B.0.431_kernelDowngrade.ftf and 2_lt18i_4.1.B.0.431_kernelUpgrade
3. open flashtool (do not click on the flash mode)
4. drag and drop the 1_lt18i_4.1.B.0.431_kernelDowngrade.ftf into flashtools main window and the flash mode window will automatically open with the ftf
5. check the No Final Verification box and click on OK
6. Flashtool will ask you to turn off your device, hold the back button and connect the phone so do that anc click OK
7. it will start flashing the downgrade kernel..Once it is done disconnect the phone from the computer and CLOSE FLASHTOOL (Closing flashtool is very important)
8. Start your phone, check USB debugging and Unknown sources and root using DoomLord's Tool like you did before.....
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
9. After you have finished rooting disconnect the phone...close the command prompt and turn off your phone.
10. You said you already have the lt15i_4.1.B.0.587_kernel_only .ftf.... if not download it from http://minus.com/l2nHaaZknNLkx for Lt18i users the kernel is on http://minus.com/lbmSo2ZcMtQban
11. Open flashtool, drag and drop the lt15i_4.1.B.0.587_kernel_only.ftf into flashtools main window.
12. repeat the process from step 5, 6 and 7.
13. Thats it...you are on a rooted 4.1.B.0.5876Alright am sorted...for those beginners like me who haven't been able to figure it out first u gotta flash the full 587 ftf from
