So SGS2 which is by all means rootable is already in my waiting list, I thought SE has understand the lesson of rooting but it appears that it's us who didn't understand to not buy an SE anymore :mad:

Surely (and I'm no expert!!) we need someone to look at CM7 (for example) and create a custom bootloader to match it.. then we're up and running.. I'm sure it's not quite that easy.. but if the bootloader is unlocked then the BL can be replaced and CM7 or whatever, can be installed.?? Creating a pre-rooted version of the stock ROM will come.. it just needs someone to suss it! It took months to crack the x10.. don't think we'll be waiting that long for Arc!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bin4ry:
Okay, lets test something.

Extract the ARC.zip and you will get a userdata.img

Now open terminal and write

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

then reboot

after reboot open adb shell

cd /data

now ls -l

you should see the su binary

type

./su

after that you should be root. If yes copy the su binary to /system/bin.

BTW. with this method it will wipe your installed programs etc. So better make a backup before !

su

It says that the su binary is just there.

Can you try to cd into the folder ?

$ cd /data/local/tmp

$ ls -l

$ ./su

Hmn, maybe we are using the wrong "su" binary. But you see we have the file there, and the permissions should be okay :)

Try:

$ /data/local/tmp/su

Yep, I can confirm that the binary is there, however when we try to execute it from that location, it still gives permission denied:

$ /data/local/tmp/su

/data/local/tmp/su

Permission denied

$

the permission and owner of the file is correct; however I think there might be something else that prevents it from being executed =\

p.s. I can do dmesg, does that help?
