Sorry, missed that info, yes it works fine on Arc, that is the phone I have.

I will edit my post.

Yep, works fine on my Arc running 4.0.2.A.0.42, bootloader locked. Can access root using Root Explorer, so everything seems to be fine for now. Finally, no need to risk having the 0% battery problem anymore

Thank you very much! But before i´ll root my arc i´ve to ask if it is possible to reroot the phone without flashing firmware over seus?

 

[Zedd.]

Thanks, mate . I've been a bit apprehensive of rooting by unlocking the bootloader or downgrading by flashing.

This method ought to settle those qualms I've had about the above.

Cheers!

Wow, Flawless rooting and no more downgrading bs needed .


Awesome Find.

You forgot to type in exit you were still in the adb shell made the same error, afterwards it worked.

Downloading the SDK took longer than the rooting process. Worked great and easy using the noob guide, thx

Works perfectly on my LT15a running 2.3.4!

Is your phone on? Did you "tick" on USB debugging to enable it?
