Since you are using fastboot i assume you got an unlocked boot loader. So here is a easy way to root .62
And in case you are done with it and want to have recovry on stock kernel then you should install CWM AUTO INSTALLER from market/play store. Just follow the instructions after running the app! If you have any problem you can drop a question here or in the thread i suggested you!

Since you dont want to unlock your bootloader...you got to follow the OTA stuff.
Here is what you gonna need...
A fresh .42 firmware, flashtools. You can get the stuff from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
Now,
1. Flash the .42 firmware with flashtools
2. Root it with flashtools (the above thread tells you how to)
3. Update your phone over the air.
F.A.Q.
Q. I already have a rooted .42, why should i flash it again and then have root acess?
A. Most of the users uninstall the bloatware or other stock based stuff and then they face problems during updating the phone OTA. Hence to be on the safer side...its advised to flash the .42 firmware and root it again.

If you have bootloader locked you will need to down grade your firmware to build 42 do this download program called flashtools available on xda.
Download from xda the .42 file use flashtools to load on to phone.
Then root with either zergrush method or from flashtools.
Once rooted use ota to update to latest build 62
if bootloader is unlocked then do as described in previous posts.
All software and tools are available in general or q&a sections.

Thanks, ArcMan09. I have only rooted the Arc and have not installed any other firmware - it still has the existing manufacturer's firmware. I have also not unlocked the bootloader. Will it not accept an "official" update again ?
The updates do some checks on your current system, if it seems modified it will not update. Just do a restore in pcc it will install the latest version on your phone for you.

Just flash 4.1.A.0.562 ftf files with FlashTool.
FlashTool do not require unlocked bootloader.
After that you can root easily.

I just updated my Arc to ICS. Connected through the Sony Companion which detected the SW update and it downloaded and updated it. The downside of this is that my existing root has been 'patched', ie, it has been unrooted with the update. Waiting for Doomlord to work his magic now

Yes - but what we really need is a 1-click rather than flash 'down', root and then flash. Am too lazy for these you know...basically a zergrush exploit or an emulator trick for the latest firmare...

There is no easy root method at the moment. If you want root then you will need to downgrade the kernel then root then update kernel.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
The only easy way is an unlocked bootloader, other you'll either have to use the downgrade or wait for an exploit.

Ok, so I have now rooted following instructions from this thread :
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119
Step 1. Download Flashtool
Step 2. Download the .562 kernel
Step 3. Flash .562 kernel and reboot phone
Step 4. Root using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
Step 5. Download the .431 kernel
Step 6. Flash .431 kernel and reboot phone
I don't see why you need to go check on the talk.sonymobile.com site as those very same instructions have been posted here.
You do realise that everything that happens there is just a rehash of what happens here at XDA. :cyclops:

True...just that I had several links bookmarked on this rooting thing and I followed one of them. Btw, the .562 & .431 kernel links were about 5 MB each, whereas the ones I found on XDA were ~250MB - guess they included the entire stuff...or, I wasn't searching properly here:crying:

The 250mb ones will be ftfs, so the whole rom not just the kernel

Righto...just wondering why you need to download the whole ftf's when kernel flash would do...
Probably because they couldn't find the kernel alone. In that case, the only option would be to download the entire ftf.

According to this thread with a locked boot loader custom kernels can't be flashed. Is it that you can flash stock kernels but not custom ones?
yep. stock kernels you can flash because they're stock - stock ics already uses them. custom ones, you can't.

Flashtool method is available in this forum, just search for it . There will be detailed method with pictures. Search for stock 6.1.a.2.50 ftf, which is also available in this forum.
In ur case, uncheck wipe user data and wipe app log before flashing. U won't lose any data but you'll lose root and cwm. So u must root again using bin4ry method and reinstall cwm after u flash.
Please note that 6.1.a.2.55 doesn't support bin4ry method. So u have to update to 6.1.a.2.50.
Good luck!
