But how can i get stock ICS firmware 4.1.A.0.562 on my phone? I have different firmware.What do u mean by (don't leave flashtool turned on) ? Plz i need help as i'm totally new with Xperia.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krazybone:
If your a noob at this and just want to get official update, use Watanclient to do it costs €1.99 and you can mess about up to 5 times.

Pros

Its a lot easier.

Saves you hours if your new to the free flashing

Cons

Costs,

And you can follow guides to do it for free
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Update to 4.0.4 (.431) with Update Service (easiest way IMO). Then use my package to downgrade kernel (with flashtool). Then use rooting kit for ICS from other link that guy gave you. It won't work if flashtool is still opened ("can't start daemon" error). Then upgrade kernel with flashtool, and boot phone. It is rooted.

(Before rooting, check usb debugging and unknown sources in Settings)

Guys.

What is the status of your bootloader?

Is it unlocked?

If it is.Then use AutoRoot tool by Bazoocase.Takes less than one second to root.

If you are on windows PC let windows update drivers.That helps too.

By running runme.bat is it enough to do just step 1 or to completely root phone all steps (1,2 and 3) must be executed ?

No need to unlock bootloader. Just download kingroot http://www.kingroot.net/, enable adb on your phone, connect with usb, download and install adb drivers from here http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/drivers/Xperia_PLAY_neo_arc_acroIS11s_acroSO-02C_USB_drivers.zip , run kingroot on your computer.
