Yes, and go to the general section and read the stickys before starting threads asking for what's been posted numerous times. Just because you're a noob doesn't mean you can't read.

[Q] Query

Hello,
Yes, I've gone through many pages in this website before posting this question .
(1) I'm using Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (2.3.4 // 4.0.2.A.0.62). Let us say this configuration "State A".
(2) I wish only to root it. I don't wish to unlock bootloader. I don't wish to change my current OS version. Is this possible?
(3) Let answer to above question is "yes", and I root the phone successfully to, say, "State B". Then would it be possible, by some means, to bring the phone again in "State A"?
Thanks & regards,
Maria.

Thanks for the reply.
http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/post747948.html#p747948 is all about ERoot which is also available here in XDA at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711
However above page has a link http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/sony-et-android-pour-les-nuls-t25364.html which is very very useful for beginners like me.
