Xperia Arc Lt15a - Not working

Cell: Xperia Arc LT15a

Android Build: 4.1.B.0.587 (official provider update)

Provider: Rogers Canada

OS: Win 10 Pro

ADB Drivers: installed (driver signing disabled)

ERoot: v1.3.4

Hello, when attempting to run Eroot, I get the first three circles with green checks and then the fourth sits for about four minutes befor going to a screen with three red boxes filled with what I assume to be Japanese script. An English version would be nice *adds to Christmas list*.

I get the same result regardless. I have followed the post exactly as well as trying without PC Companion installed.

According to sonymobile.com this phone is not rootable but I am hopeful.

Note: I don't know if this happens only on Windows 10, but after exiting the program (the form closes) 3 out of 5 times, bec.exe will not terminate and attempting to terminate process does nothing and the PC has to be restarted in order to get the process to terminate.

Thank you, Nabeel!

Hello.

Everything worked fine so far, but adb drivers won't install. What should I do now?
[Xperia Arc General] ryarle:
Help

I am new to this root things and I have questions:

I have SonyEricsson Xperia Arc

-Will I be able to overclock my phone after doing your 'one click root' steps?

-If I wouldn't be able to overclock my phone after rooting, what should I do?

Thank you in advance.

something went wrong with Xperia Pro

Hi everyone,

recently I have tried to follow this "one click method" to root my Xperia Pro (MK16i) with 4.1.bB.0.587 build,

but got the following screen from E-root (this is a https link): yadi.sk/i/TsPwf-hImoNZM

Who could translate, and what I did wrong?

Thanks.

Hi there, tried on Xperia Pro Mk16i - rooting looked fine but no sign of any superuser app on the phone, so I guess something didn't turn out right.

Anybody knows what?

Thnx
[Xperia Arc General] sirozan:
All links in OP don't work, they are blocked due to virus warnings...how can i root now?
[Xperia Arc General] Doume59249:
It's a false positive, displayed by antivirus :

Binary contains a sequence writing in protected memory, to allow root forcing, so it's normal to have this message from antivirus.

stop your antivirus, process the root tool, and restart your antivirus : That'll be OK
[Xperia Arc General] sirozan:
What i meant was that the sites where it is uploaded (e.g. Google Drive, etc.) themselves already block any downloading attempts from their end, because they think it's a virus.

But for me it's not important anymore, it turned out i could just install a custom ROM without the need to root first, and this ROM had root already included.

Anyways thanks for trying to help here.
[Xperia Arc General] Narenme001:
The file cannot be downloaded from GDrive and is removed from mediafire and 4shared. Please updqte the links.
[Xperia Arc General] SkyWo1f:
Great! All night searching and this was the only root that worked for me, & simple too. I'm telling you the Chinese at getting excellent at software :victory:
[Xperia Arc General] mekdad1:
☺☺☺

[/COLOR]

:):D;)

I maybe have a solution for all of you guys who are getting the "error report screen" (see attached picture).

I was stuck with that as well (Xperia Arc LT15i with a 4.1.B.0.587 build) and i read somewhere this issue was caused by a simple lack of remaining space.

I just deleted some apps going from approximately 30Mb of empty space to 80Mb (of course i'm talking about internal memory, not SD), then tried again, and it worked flawlessly from the first shot !

This space is only needed during the rooting process, meaning that you'll be able to reinstall all your apps once it's done.

Hope it will help some of you ![/QUOTE]

Finally working

After a few attempts, finally i flashed a fresh global 587 and eroot worked like a charm on windows 8 pro 64 bit, it was custom rom issue, thanks to Nabeel and BajoPrimate.
[Xperia Arc General] Nabeel.:
No problem, :)

Do thank that user as well not just me . I hope you thumbed him up in his thread

Btw were you on a custom rom ? You never told it man :D

Rooting toolkit works only on stock I think
[Xperia Arc General] jcgechevarria:
Yes, i did not say that about custom rom, but ever i'm on custom or original eroot should show phone model i mean. :p:p
[Xperia Arc General] BajoPrimate:
Hi jcgechevarria!

No problem, I'm glad with your success.

Good luck.

-Thanks a lot Nabeel-

BTW, my brother had issues with wifi and I've flashed and rooted it again two times and always success :good:
[Xperia Arc General] vashta:
This thread should deserve a sticky, hey moderator :D.

The tools is so awesome... it's so easy to use.

We don't have to use a complicated guide just to get ROOT. Nice share mate.

Anyway, it's confirm working on my device :

Xperia Arc / Unlocked Bootloader / Vengeance Kernel 1.34 / Baseband 85

[Xperia Arc General] ezrasam:
Works like charm

I love this one click stuff...

I had started thinking, i'll never get this stuff for my Arc S...(4.1.B.0.587)

Well it took a few attempts, after that, enabled data & tried.. It simply worked...

Thanks

You could of have installed god knows what (eg. spyware;)) with that mysterious 11Mb download from china on your freshly rooted phone, hehe.. I'll pass on this one:D

[Xperia Arc General] Arrowblue:
Confirm working with Xperia Arc/Xperia T/Xperia Z/Xperia E/Xperia S/ Xperia J/Xperia Play ! it works fine and root them just in one click no problem at all .
[Xperia Arc General] Madaditya:
well

Well i cant deny that Nabeel's method was the only one that helped me succesfully root my Xperia pro @Sony's forums! back then!

And now you come up with a one click tool! Wow!

Thanx,Nabeel and wym986!

GOnna be pretty usefull for Peepz out there!

Root Problem

I run a sony xperia arc lt15a, build number 4.1.b.587.

I have downloaded eroot from dropbox, made sure setting were ok. I cancel download and click root and wait for it to finish but nothing happens.

I have tried 5 times now uninstalling lookout, and disabling my antivirus on my PC.

Eroot recognizes the phone and goes through the process. I even took out my sim card and my phone is unlocked.

Any kind of help would be very appreciated i had never had a rooted phone before ;)

Cheers
[Xperia Arc General] Nabeel.:
Hey there.

Almost everyone with the "a" version of phones are facing problem while rooting with it.

You'd have to use the old method to root your phone.

See the archived method to root 2011 xperias below the colorful animated xperia picture

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/97327

Forum is down for sometime so check a little later :)

here is the google cache though http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/97327
[Xperia Arc General] Louisbag514:
Thanks Nabeel for the quick reply! The sony forum does actually work! I have just downloaded the flash tool but the kernel page for the arc is missing! I checked the link and it says kernel for lt18i is this ok if I look it on the net?
[Xperia Arc General] Nabeel.:
Everything's ok buddy ;)

Actually 4.1.A.0.562 was not released for Arc but for Arc S. So in order to root ARC/ARC S, we flash .562 of Arc S , root it and then flash the respective 4.1.B.0.587 kernel.

Just follow the steps blindly and everything would be fine :)
[Xperia Arc General] Louisbag514:
Do you have a link for the kernel! The one on forum is down and I can't find a decent one...
[Xperia Arc General] Nabeel.:
I just tried downloading and both the kernels are fine

Anyways, other links :)

the software isnt working i dont know why, it does this loading thing then when its done loading it closes and i can open it again i tried re-downloading but the same happens, help

EDIT: Canceled the loading thing clicked root and its done i think. .
[Xperia Arc General] deadko:
me too. it closes and don't start anymore
[Xperia Arc General] Nabeel.:
Move eroot to other folder and then run it. Cancel the downloading as soon as you see it starting .
[Xperia Arc General] deadko:
the solution is kill the bec.exe process in windows...and open the proram correctly

Hope this helps to solve this
[Xperia Arc General] slipthru:
Hi the program is not detecting my arc s at all. It is running stock gingerbread rom. i have followed the steps in the first post but i'm stumped.

I've tried redownloading and deleting the eroot as suggested in another post.

There is a thread for neo V as well. Check it :)

Run the rooting toolkit again.. And no, unrooting would not bring back the bloatware.

There's nothing wrong about it so don't worry.

I'm on 4.0.2.A.0.62 Arc S.

Do I have to root using old method?

EDIT: I erased all data from the phone using Factory data reset in Settings>Privacy, and then lauched eRoot. Everything was OK, RevoverX installed and now I can explore wonderful Android world :D

thanks, great software!
