thanks for the help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krazybone:
I saw a little error message near the top.

If I saw that when I do it I'd have thought it be rooted now?

I dont know really... Xperia arc huh.?..?.

Sorry I cant help you further.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gour:
Let me confirm that I did the same with my Xperia Mini Pro which I did update to the latest firmware before rooting. ;)

My thanks to the team...and we'll send some bucks their way soon. :cool:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] fire-warrior:
there is a new update ... 4.0.2.a.0.62 ... xperia neo

the root is not working
[Xperia Arc Android Development] armando101:
Will this work on Xperia neo V as its not on the list?

Please reply... Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
It should
[Xperia Arc Android Development] armando101:
It works on xperia neo V (mt11i)... You can add it on supported list i guess.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] darkman1973:
sorry for my english, I have a question, Easy Rooting DooMLoRD Toolkit [v3.0] would work on my Xperia Arc S with Bootloader unlock is not allowed?. I Have the root user.

Thanks to google translator jejejeje
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Yes it will work on locked bootloader
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krazybone:
For some reason it couldnt get write access and couldnt put superuser.apk on ur phone...

What phone is by the way.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
its an Arc LT15
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krazybone:
Is it simfree?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
when will it support the latest update rolled out by SE?! it didn't work on my Arc S running 4.0.2.A.0.62, while it worked on the previous version :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krazybone:
Yea I dont think it works on the .62

It works up to the .58

Dont know, I wouldnt have updated till I could root, just have to stick with it for the time being
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
yes, its sim free.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] davidzam:
This Method don't mess whit the integrity off Facebook in Xperia, Track ID and bootloader?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] masud7827:
No, It will just root your device safely, It will not bother other apps :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] N6666661:
Worked fine on Xperia RAY (Orange France branded)!

Thanks a lot!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] theduke89:
Worked flawlessly on my xperia arc s with locked bootloader and stock. 42 firmware. I'll never thank you enough Doom!!!

When I saw how boring is unlocking the bootloader on this phone I decided to leave it stock, even if it is a pity...procedures are really really simpler on my Acer liquid, Acer liquid metal, galaxy s and galaxy tab!!!

Thanks again for this Exploit man!!!

Custom ROM

Will I be able to flash custom ROMs on my ARC S after using this ?!

IT might be rooted, bt the bootloader will still be locked right ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] theduke89:
NO.

YES.

With this method you gain only root permissions. No bootloader unlocking, no new kernel, no cwm recovery. So you can use titanium b and all apps that need root access...but you can't flash anything.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] zhihao4456:
Unable to root

These are the steps I did:

1) Using SEUS to have a fresh install

2) Download the DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip

3) Unzip the file downloaded file

4) Went to the settings to enable the USB Debugging and Unknown Source

5) Set the screen timeout to 30 minutes

6) Connect the USB Cable to the PC

7) Then I first run the adb.exe drivers from the unzip file

8) After that I run the runme.bat from the unzip file

9) Press any key to continue *i pressed a key*

10) At the command prompt it show this:

---STARTING---

---WAITING FOR DEVICE

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

# This is just what it shows and not running anymore, it just stops there... So what should I do to able to root? Currently on 2.3.4~ Please help... Thank You T.T

xperia active rooted

yesterday i rooted the xperia active of my wife (build 0.42).

i have a question: if sony will upgrade the phone (maybe 0.62) or later this year

to ics, i will lose the root access?

I had to try rooting a lot of times, why at last it worked i don't know.

many thanks to the developers, great work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dryhte:
Yes, you'll have to root again.

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

the same thing happened to me just now, what version are you trying?

First i used the 3rd version and got the same result, then i tried the 1st version and it got through, maybe you should try with another version
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dong2007:
It´s still impossible to Root 0.62, with ZergRush?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tomatos:
With this method make root just on .062 FW:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330314

You need Unlocked Bootloader!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nishan432:
Currently there are no rooting method for .62 with locked boot-loader.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
It's very sad to see people working on a root method, and this just last one or two rom firmwares, I think that sonyericsson (or sony by now), could do with rooting same as they did with unlocking bootloader and left this as a client choise. :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NoobSEowner:
guyz, i got problem with titanium backup.. once i open it, it said "your ROM is rooted bla bla, but the su binary has non-optimal bla bla bla" i dont really remember the warning shows
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
UPDATE

added v4 of toolkit, with newest zergRush binary (21 Nov 2011) and few corrections/additions to script

the script will now:

check/correct temporary directory

verify if there is adequate free space on /system, if enough free space is not found >6MB then the script will delete Google Maps (Maps.apk) [thanks to ChainFire for the tip in MobileODIN ;) ], u can later install latest Google Maps from Market...

this toolkit should now work on ZTE Warp...

this may not work on the newest firmwares released by device vendors...

if ur device is already rooted dont bother with this... if the devices is not yet rooted please try it out and kindly report if it worked for ur device...

regards,

DooMLoRD

[Xperia Arc Android Development] laziepig:
Dude.. disable your anti-virus and re-download the file.. otherwise try rooting with another pc. It worked when I disable my anti-virus but on V3 tho.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vincie76:
I try this with the lastest .62 firmware still not working. any body tried it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] datatsiko:
I'm getting the same.. . wow! now worked! I just changed pc and did everything from the begining.before tried everything with untivirus and adb but not successful.. now just changed pc and now rooted :) thanks!

I have problem after use this Easy Rooting Toolkit. My version is changed, but i cant use titanium and addfree. It writes that my phone is not rooted. What i need to do to be rooted? I have xperia mini
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ezekk:
and what about the warranty?

if i root my SE and after that unroot and make a hard reset, do i lose it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
if u want to get back to stock the best way is to flash stock firmware FTF using flashtool...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yujin_11:
it works!

the version 3 works!

although I had to do a bit of soul-searching as I followed the steps to install(i mean update) the Android SDK

and now my Ray(ST18i 2.3.3 4.0.A.2.368) is rooted! :cool:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AUDIMEN:
[v4.0](zergRush Exploit) Does not work on 62, when will the result?:( Sorry for my english...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zmbutt:
yep, V4 didn't work on 62 !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eu8umhc:
nice work my friend :D . But In Xperia Neo & Neo v we can't root our .62 firmware. can you make any fix for it? thanks for your hard work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Pandemic:
yeah doom can you make one for 62,

i need it for my cpu:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Shaved:
Pls for 0.62 Xperia Mini Pro- Thank you!!!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] manwlis77:
have you news for root in 62?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] itsmyname:
OK So I'm completely lost, How do I use this to root my Arc S (Don't want to unlock bootloader) ?

Android Version 2.3.4

Kernel; 2.6.32.9-perf

Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.42

I need a step by step guide, total newb :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sanjay2007:
But In Xperia Neo & Neo v we can't root our .62 firmware. can you make any fix for it? thanks for your hard work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
in the .62 FW (all Xperia 2011) the zergRush exploit has been patched...

kindly stop posting the same damn thing over and over again...

we will have to wait for new exploit for .62 FW...

OR

u can use flashtool to flash to .58 FW and then root it... .58 FW is rootable using this exploit...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] itsmyname:
Can somebody point me in the direction of a step by step guide on rooting using this tool for a total newbie? Maybe I'm stupid but I can seem to find anything of the sort
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
if going back to .58 can be done, I think it's better to not find an exploit for .62, since ICS is just around the corner so that SE don't patch it, unless it's not done the same way it's done on IOS.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AUDIMEN:
We'll be waiting! Thank you for your work DooM!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dorcolac:
If I root my Xperia, .62, do the future update from Sony, will update my phone or the rooted phone can't regulary update... !?!?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hemo1001:
easiest root to an android device i have ever done ... works in arc s like a charm
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Before I update to the latest build I had my phone rooted, and was able to update without any issue, so don't worry about rooting your device ;)

I think bootloader unlocking or installing a custom rom prevents the user from getting updates from SE, not sure though :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Shaved:
Yes, you can update, but the root will be lost. And superoneclick doesn't work with the newest update 0.62... That's what we are talking about here ;):)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dorcolac:
Thanks, both of you ...;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
of-course we will lose rooting. ya it's a bad thing it doesn't work with the latest update: .62

I'm still confused about things on Android since I've been an IOS user for almost 3 years, so I have just a simple question, does downgrading brick the device?!

In IOS downgrading was only for the OS it self, no baseband downgrading ..etc in other words: downgrading will never brick the device, even if it's stuck while downgrading, it can be solved.

when I attempt to downgrade my phone, will it downgrade the OS only?

Downgrading between builds will affect the device? (example: .62 -> .58)

what about downgrading between: 2.3.4 -> 2.3 (for example)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Greeco:
Nice to hear that is working for the ARC s but is it working for the latest version 4.0.2.A.0.62

i want also to ask how is possible to backup the original firmware of my phone so if in case something goes wrong during swapping to custom roms so i can go back to the original firmware at any time and if possible with what software can i do that

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AUDIMEN:
62 does not work! Saving Data: CWM Recovery!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well there is no way to save data if u are on .62 FW..

if u want u can try one thing...

just use stock .58 FW FTF and flash system.sin and kernel.sin only

that way u should be able to root device and still retain ur data... then u can use CWM recovery (lock bootloader one)

or

just unlocked bootloader and flash custom kernel :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] itsmyname:
What's busybox?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hansip87:
I don't know this but, if we have locked bootloader, can we do fastboot boot recoveryarc.img from FXP? Because I did it and it runs on my ray so I can root my .62 fw. But that is with bootloader unlocked with test point method. Afaik as long as you don't flash boot, you can do fastboot boot cmd with locked bootloader. CMIIW.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
fastboot is not available on locked bootloaders
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hush66:
Yes they will.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] itsmyname:
What are ADB drivers, and where can I get them from for my device (ARC S)?

Also, is unrooting as easy as rooting? No flashing or anything like that involved?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] davidzam:
And always update using Pc Companion, is safer.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] itsmyname:
I've rooted it, but I don't see busybox!

Edit; I've installed Busybox manually from the Android Marketplace. But what is busybox, why do I require it?

Help

This Only partially Worked for Me. Removed Superuser access but did not Remove the App and CWM... Solutions Please
[Xperia Arc Android Development] davidzam:
That's right, it removes root but you have to unistall Superuser app... I recommend thoug, that you use Pc Companion to repair the phone, and set it as it came from the factory... Then no superuser app and forget about recovery... ;)

NO .62 FW cannot be rooted
[Xperia Arc Android Development] samuel109:
which firmware are you currently using? Do you recommend me downgrading?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Monipeev:
........ .62 cannot be rooted now or forever? What needs to be done to make?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] _kadaver_:
can i downloagrade to .58 ? i have 0.62!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
.62 Fw

But I have unlocked bootloader and using my custom kernel..

If u want to root downgrade to .42 or .58 firmware...

Those ones can be rooted using this exploit..

Currently can't be rooted unless you have unlocked bootloader...

Yes flash .58 FW using flashtool...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] slim_dri:
DooMLoRD when you say about the .62 Currently can't be rooted unless you have unlocked bootloader you mean that it is possible to root it without downgrading using the zergRush method?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
u can root .42/.58 but as far as i know u cant root .62 (on locked bootloader) using zergRush exploit
[Xperia Arc Android Development] samuel109:
So do you recommend me unlocking my bootloader? Im a normal user but do use custom roms
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
its upto u...

with unlocked bootloader u can root any firmware, flash/use any custom rom/kernel...

and u can always relock bootloader incase u need to give it in for warranty claims... though i am not 100% sure if SE/Sony will honor warranty claims after unlocking bootloader...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] black heart:
waiting for .62 FW root
[Xperia Arc Android Development] curejko:
.62 root

I will wait aswell, coz unlocking bootloader is kinda risk (for me).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Izzy Stinson:
hey guys, i need help. how to downgrade my mini pro to .58. i just upgraded my phone to the latest version to .62 and now i cant root my phone :(

i didnt read and saw on this thread that ver. .62 cant be rooted using the easy rooting toolkit.

can someone help me how to downgrade to .58 so that i can root my phone back and back to normal? urgent help..... please.. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dp94:
Flash .58 *.ftf file with flashtool, look in your developement section for the correct file. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Izzy Stinson:
i wonder if i downgrade to .58 with any method, will it require to do a factory reset/reset system data or format memory card?

because i dont want to do that, i just want to downgrade like im upgrading to the latest version without anything lost.

if it needs to do factory reset/reset system data/will make all my apps and games that are saved in my phone memory will be lost and all that stuff just to downgrade to .58, i will wait for a new version of easy rooting toolkit that can root .62
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AUDIMEN:
Have to do reset the data! Otherwise,can be problems!!!

You can flash 58 no reset the data! After Root receive and store data in Titanium!

Again, flash 58 without saving the data! And restore the data in Titanium!!!

Sorry for my english...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Izzy Stinson:
you dont get it, im from .58 then i unroot so that i can upgrade to latest .62. after that i want to root .62 looks like it cant. its stupid of me not to read the warning from the first post that current version of easy rooting toolkit cant root .62.

so now im stucked at .62 unrooted. i just want my phone to be rooted again so that my linked apps will appear again now my linked apps are all invisible because there is no root. and its impossible for me to backup my data and apk using titanium because im on .62 and it cant be rooted. help!! :(:(

doomlord, i really hope that you make the new easy rooting toolkit that can root .62 :(:( i think the other .62 users wanted this too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
obviously everybody wants it...

the thing is there is currently no known exploit for .62 firmware...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marty21:
I apologize in advance for my English.

I really would like to thank "DooMLoRD" for his method of unlocking the root.

I am a user rather than an expert and as "frequent" official firmware upgrade (for Xperia mini), I have already updated automatically.

Until now, he did not go DooMLoRD root method, I read the details.

Given that I rather meet user and my root, subsequent uninstall unneeded files, I want to ask if in the future will be a new version of DooMLoRD to root and it is the time (I can hold), or should I consider a downgrade, because the last firmware will not root??

Thank you again for the user DooMLoRD great help to use the phone with Android.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] black heart:
I have Arc S LT18i

I couldn't find the .58 .ftf generic FW anywhere :S
