[QUESTION] How to root Xperia ARC S (LT18i)

Hi guys
I really hope somebody could help me because i'm hardly searching an answer since a few days..
I'm actually in 2.3.4 with a ARC S, firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42, LOCKED bootloader
i would like to root it, and have at the end a 2.3.4 generic global firmware
Am i forced to unlock bootloader?
if yes, after this step, what should i do to have a 2.3.4 generic global fw with root a the end?
thx for help!

Hi everyone!
I'm a recent owner of a Xperia Arc S (Orange Spain) with v2.3.4 (4.0.1.A.0.266)
I rooted the terminal with Doomlord-zergRush, it works fine.
What's the next step for have a generic global 2.3.4?

I answer myself...
The secuence is:
- download flashtool. I used v0.3 in win7
- download the firm you want. My choose was Generic Middle East North Africa (Latin) - LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.42 CUSTOMIZED-MEL [1254-2282] from HERE
- Unrar the flashtool and put the firm in the folder called "firmwares"
- Connect the phone pressing "BACK" button
- Lauch the flashtool (Administrator), press Flash and follow the instructions.
Thats all!
Xperia Arc S (Orange Spain) -> unbranded 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42)

You dont need to flash a custom firmware to get root, the latest version of flashtool has one-click root using zergrush.

"Always working" method is flash 6.1.A.2.50 with Flashtool (without wiping anything, except if you wish) and root with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Rooting itself is done in 5 minutes. Flashing? Also 5 mins.
6.1.A.2.55 firmware is not rootable, you can just flash prerooted .55 rom in CWM, but for that you still need rooted .50.

It's obvious what you want to do, the point is there are lots of threads on the subject which you could have asked your question on. YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST TO WANT TO ROOT!

The basics
Put superuser.zip in sdcard from their site, same name
Testpoint
Get flashtool
Downoad a kernel with cwm
Hotboot kernel with flashtool in fastboot menu.
When phone restarts press volume down on blue led
Install the zip in sdcard
Reboot
