I have unlocked my bootloader from the Arc whit the testpoint method, using the s1tool, so I don't losing the DRM.
For who want to do this, its only for the Arc, not the Arc S.
Do this on your on risk!! I'm not responsible when you brick your phone!!
Only works on generic branded phones.
First download the s1tool Attachment.
Find some wire and a paper-clip, or something like that, and put it together, whit some tape.

Now put the other end of the wire between the usb extension cable and your phones data cable. That's for the grounding.

Now remove the back cover from your phone and remove your battery and sim-card. Remove the small plastic that's taped on the testpoint (you can tape it back later) Btw, the point that coloured red is the testpoint of the arc.

Oke, now we can started.
Let the battery out your phone, and plug the phone cable in to your computer. Put the paper-clip on the testpoint and let it stay there, then put in the cable on your phone. Your computer saying he found a new hardware, then manual choose the drivers. Go to the s1tool/USBFlash_driver folder and choose your driver. (choose manually, because windows won't find the driver if you let it auto detect).

Now the driver is installed, plug out the cable from your phone, but not from your computer. Start s1tool en click on Patch SEMCBoot, then click on Testpoint READY

Now put the paper-clip back on the testpoint and plug the cable back in to the phone. Now s1tool is working, and when he say to remove the testpoint, do it. You will see something like the picture below, and when it says its Finnish, you can plug out your phone.

Now you can put back the tape over the testpoint. Put in the sim-card and battery. Now you have a unlocked bootloader whit DRM.
If you want to lock it again, open s1tool and click on RESTORE. Power down your phone, press the BACK BUTTON and hold it, then plug in your phone to the computer, then a few seconds later it will say your bootloader is locked again.
When you want to relock the boot-loader, be sure you flash back to stock, outer wise your phone don't start whit a custom kernel.
I hope my English is good enough for the people to understand
