This works on ANY Xperia arc.

Your arc does NOT have to be rooted.

Your arc does NOT have to be bootloader unlocked.

This does NOT re-lock a SIM unlocked phone (unlocking is ONCE and PERMANENT).

This does NOT unlock your bootloader.

This WILL wipe your phone & root. Backup first.

You MUST have BOTH PC Companion and Update Service installed. MIRROR: http://jp1.ca/androidstuff

3G/HSPA APN Settings after flashing: http://pastebin.com/jNse0tpf

Download: http://d-h.st/ua1 (378.19 MB, single flashtool file)

Kernel ONLY: http://d-h.st/Uiz (4.55 MB, single flashtool file, for after rooting)

Please do NOT mirror files.

ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Flash this firmware.

Start up the phone and allow it to setup.

Shut down/turn off the phone.

Flash the insecure kernel: http://d-h.st/Xm1

CLOSE the FlashTool (it'll conflict w/ the rooting toolkit in step #6).

NOTE: The build # WON'T change after flashing the insecure kernel. This ISN'T an error. Continue to the next step.

Start up the phone and enable USB Debugging & Unknown Sources.

Download/run the 2011 Xperia Rooting Toolkit.

Shut down the phone.

I have an Evo 3d and was working great, but up until recently like 1/4th an inch of the right side of the screen doesnt have any touch capabilities :/

I touch and and nothing happens and it sits right over top of the back button when typing so if i mess up a word i have to reload the app and start again cuz i cant hit the backspace :/

What would cause this? and how can i fix it? I have returned to stock and reflashed everything, nothing seems to work

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] EnesGTR:
Sounds like the Touchscreen got an Defect...

if you had a warranty, go to your next shop and let it Exchange

Nope no warranty, its been flashed to cricket, but its stock right now back to sprint...

Couldnt i open it up and change the screen?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
Are you s-on or s-off and does your bootloader say unlocked, relocked or locked? If you are locked then it doesn't matter if your s-on or s-off, your good to go. When you take your phone is for service, they check to see if your bootloader says unlocked or relocked. If so then they won't service your phone. Thats the only way they can tell if you flashed anything. Here is a link to a very easy guide that will help you if you are relocked or unlocked. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889438 It will help you get your bootloader backed to locked with s-off using the wire trick. Then after that you would flash a ruu to return everything to complete stock unrooted and stock recovery. Including hboot. Don't forget to hit the thank you button if I helped you. Also don't forget to give credit to the man behind this amazing guide. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Digitizer

Your digitizer is messed up.. Best thing is if u can get it replaced by going back to locked bootloader. But if that doesnt work out then buy a new digitizer and replace by watching tutorials(not an easy task, first check videos and then order it).

i have the same issue, i messed up left side of the screen.. :(

Best of luck :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bchaney16:
I'm receiving a new Galaxy Nexus in the mail today. I'm new to the Android world but this site has been extremely helpful in explaining the capabilitys of this OS. Since I've never used Android I don't completely understand the pros/cons to rooting my device. A lot of posts say "you have to do it to understand the benefits" or something of that nature. I understand that once you root you can change your ROM, kernel, navigate all file folders, use certain apps that require superuser access, etc. As of now, I'm not sure I'd want to do any of that. I may want to in the future when I see some limitations that could be bypassed by rooting, but for now I would like to keep the stock ROM, kernel, etc.

It's possible to keep everything stock when rooted, correct? So it would function the same as a stock device but would have the potential to be modified later. If an updated Android OS version is released, can I download and install it the same as anyone with an unrooted stock device?

Is there any disadvantage to rooting? Why would anyone NOT root their device? I'm just thinking that if I'd do it eventually, I might as well do it right now when there are no valuable files/apps/etc. that I'd have to worry about backing up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snarf.snarf:
People often root to flash aosp roms otherwise not available on htc or galaxy s phones

Aosp also in many cases gave better battery life than their skinned cousins

But on nexus phones and jelly bean I don't see much of one other than to experiment or to use addons like roms such as codename android and baked bean give

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _android_:
The main reason I root is for Titanium Backup. That is probably the only way to migrate apps (with data) from one device to another.

Also nandroid (Clockworkmod Recovery) backup is useful if you want to experiment with different ROMs and can restore stock and apps easily.

On a side note: Don't like CWM 6 when backup creates a huge BLOB directory structure. Not convenient to backup your backup to PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Backups

Free Tethering

etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dante501:
Tethering is enabled already. Ah u probably must be talking about the us version. I have the international one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
I root for Paranoid Android and Titanium Backup. Two things I can't be without once getting used to them.

But really. Installing Titanium Backup almost feels like a necessity on Any phone to freeze/backup apps detach them from market etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bchaney16:
I appreciate the responses but you guys aren't really answering my questions...

It's possible to keep everything stock when rooted, correct?

If an updated Android OS version is released, can I download and install it the same as anyone with an unrooted stock device?

Is there any disadvantage to rooting? Why would anyone NOT root their device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Yes you can be stock & rooted. Root by itself will not affect an OTA. The only reason to root is if YOU gain something. If your phone dose everything you want without root then there is no reason to root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
Yes u can stay stock and rooted.

If u root and take an update you will most likely loose root or you will have to unroot before u can take the update. One of the 2.

Biggest disadvantage is that it voids warranty. But no big deal if u no how to go back to stock.

People that don't root probably don't because they don't how, are scared to and/or they don't want to void that precious warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
1. Yes

2. Yes. Though root disappears if you update officially OTA. So then you need to re-root. If you would also unlock bootloader and install CWM you can not update OTA.

3. Umm. I guess some manufacturers claims that warranty is void when rooting. That's pretty much the only not-to reason I can think of. If rooted only and don't "use it" you won't even notice you're rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
It's unlocking the bootlaoder (fastbbot oem unlock) that will (not Play Store devices) wipe the device, not rooting (though the easiest way to root is to unlock the bootloader).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bchaney16:
Ok I think its becoming more clear now.

I ordered mine unlocked from the Play Store. Does that mean the bootloader is already unlocked?

How often does an OTA come out anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
No, that refers to SIM unlocked, not tied to a specific carrier.

[REF] efrant's "Android for Galaxy Nexus" 101 & FAQs

If your new to Android this is a good place to start getting acquainted with the terminoligy & procedures
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bchaney16:
Right, I know it is carrier unlocked. So a Play Store GNEX still has a locked bootloader but unlocking it does not erase your files...

If that's the case I guess there's no downside to waiting until I see a good reason to unlock and root. I was thinking that I should do this on my brand new phone so that it wouldn't have any files on it that I'd need to backup. It sounds like I wouldn't have to worry about backing up regardless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
The only reason I can think of to unlock the bootloader straight away (& it's arguably a good one) ...

If for some reason your phone won't boot into android you could fastboot boot a custom recovery & have adb access to pull files from the virtual sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Rooting is the best thing to happen to Android phones. Do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Yes it will. Unlocking the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock will erase /sdcard. Does not matter if you get if from the play store or not. But like you said, if the device is brand new it doesn't matter anyway.

Side note: recently an exploit is discovered that allows to gain root without unlocking the bootloader. And if you have root, you can unlock/lock the bootloader at will without losing data. Follow the link in my signature for more info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
There were numerous reports that Play Store phones did NOT wipe all data when the bootloader was unlocked, I know mine didn't
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Was your /sdcard partition untouched after oem unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Yes, the data partition was untouched. All my apps & sdcard data was still there.

[DISCUSSION] Google Play Nexus not wiping after Bootloader Unlock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QuentinLangley:
I rooted mine within the first couple weeks of getting it and dont regret doing it at all. Main reason for doing it even if you dont plan to use custom roms is that you will have access to the inner workings of the phone allowing you to use apps such as adaway that will take ok apps with annoying ads and remove those ads and make that ok app a great ad free app. Completely worth it as rooting it essentially does nothing except give you superuser permission. As an experienced Android user I look at it as no big deal, its a must have for me.

As for OTA updates on a stock rom and kernel devices even though rooted still except the updates while maintaining root. Has always worked fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Interesting. Especially since the wipe feature is implemented due to security reasons. When you needed to confirm the unlock on your device after the fastboot unlock command, there wasn't a prompt that warned you all personal data would be wiped?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
To be hones I don't really remember. I know I was prepared for everything to be wiped after what I was reading at the time. The thread I edited into my previous post led to segv11's app to unlock the bootloader without wiping (as long as your rooted).

I have heard about updating the kernel : i don't know what is this, and if it can help, where can i find it ?

Sorry again if i'm in the wrong section.

but, actually, what thing has make this note 10.1 differs from N7000 ? why can't do the update with the custom CWM installed ?

Does this apply only for OTA update ? or if we download the firmware and want to flash via ODIN, we do still need to flash back to stock recovery first before do the firmware update via ODIN ?

Well :) Let me tell you something based on this:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4413/...pecs-powervr-sgx544-18-ghz-dual-core-cortexa9

1.Two ARM Cortex A9 MPCores @ 1.8GHz per core Nice but they compare it 1GHZ not 1.2GHZ that we can have :)

2.Two ARM Cortex-M3 cores We have those also!

3.SGX544 GFX Core running at 384 MHz (If you Read: TI OMAP 4xxx SoC GPU Comparison it states PowerVR SGX540 also is capable to go to 384 MHz) I want to be clear SGX544 is a better GPU but 540 can play anything you throw at it currently speaking.

4.Hardware composition engine with dedicated 2D graphics core. We have those also!

5.Display subsystem. what to do it when you dont have hdmi out.

6.Dual-channel, 466 MHz LPDDR2 memory. We have Dual-channel, 400 MHz LPDDR2 memory and i bet if we give it some more volts we can reach those 66mhz or maybe 33mhz in worse case.

7.Complete pin-to-pin hardware and software compatibility. Anyone with a hot air station and a faulty NT HD? ;)

In my humble opinion, ( what they did in the first NT ) a "locked and signed boot loader" is the MOST nastiest thing a company can do. . I believe it shows that they think that the dev community as the enemy. . So that makes mr. william lynch a first class ass in my book. . . So the one hundred ninety nine dollar question is, will the NT HD have the same nastiness ? ? ? . . My guess is yes... probably worse.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] someone0:
While I absolutely agree that locking the bootloader on the open platform is a nasty thing to do, especially when you didn't develop the platform yourself. From looking at the Nook UI, I think they at least spend a lot of time polish that. Maybe I wouldn't mind using it even if the BL is locked as long as gaining root and sideloading and install GAPPS can be done painlessly and assuming Nook will continue devloping it platform and roll out update in a timely manner.

You can get the older Tegra 2 powered ASUS Transformer TF101 for about $230-$250 the newer models all cost $400+ tho without the doc but factor in the dock at about $99 and the price goes up quite a bit out of the range of these things.
