i am planning on getting rid of my W8 & buying a Arc S....but i am a bit stumped by a couple of things. i like modding my phones....my W8 was pretty modded out...i didnt unlock the bootloader & ran stock kernel but i could still flash custom roms. can i still do that with the arc s? i mean do i have to unlock bootloader in order to install any custom roms?? & are the steps to rooting an arc the same as rooting an arc s?? any help would be appreciated....
arc S can be rooted with zergrush method very easy...
on locked booltoader so far can instal only 2 custom rom based on stock firmware...
also theme, mods can be instaled with CWM on locked BL..
Which two roms are you talking about? Can I flash even with cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 nAa r2? (the one with thd auto_installer in themes and apps category) thanks for you attention!
Sent from my Arc S LT18i using Xda Premium App
Xperia MOD is first one, i cant remember which is second one sry :/

Hi guys
i wanna make a simple question and i hope i can get the reply i want
basically i was planning to ask if there is an easy way to root my phone and i had found it on this section so i cover up my 1st question
the second think i want to ask is that since i am planning to root my phone and start playing around with roms and apps i would like to ask before i go ahead and root the phone how can i backup the original firmware of the phone so if in case i screw it up at list i will be able to go back to the original state by flashing the original image of the phone. the reason i am asking that is because i had destroy my new Atrix 2 and till now i haven't manage to get the Asia Pacific version so i was forced to install an ATT version and sale the phone half price instead keeping it and just looking at it, so this time i want to follow the safe side
the details of the phone is as follow and i just bought it today morning
Model: LT18i
Version:2.3.4
kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
i will deeply appreciate any response and advise from you guys

Don't think there's rooting kit for your build yet..
if you happen to root it, download SE Extreme Tweak Installer.. this will install CWM Recovery where you can backup and restore your firmware before bootup.
Then you can start messing around.

Can you tell me from where i can download that because i had found this which is mentioning that is working for my version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
please also explain if i can use the back up to reflash my phone in its original state at any time i wish and how through the phone or by any third party application like Odin i.e. and where can i locate the back up file inside the phone or SD memory
i am owner of S2 and i am doing pretty well but with Arc s i am just noob
yea...i did the same too....rooted it installed CWM & backed up my rom & tried to flash a custom rom that didnt require bootloader unlocking or custom kernel.....i managed to do sumthng do the phone...it got stuck at the se logo...it wudnt even go to CWM....later the guys here advised me to use flashtool to reflash a stock firmware...& i did & with my fingers crossed...did so & got my arc s back alive.....after this episode...i lost the nerve to flash custom roms in my arc s......& i have been flashing custom roms in my w8 & this never happened.....this shows that the arc s development area is still not ironclad yet
btw...i do have a question.....i am a bit confused by the system info from antutu benchmark....the original stated RAM for the arc s is 512MB. but in antutu benchmark shows total RAM as 335MB.....i dont get it.....can anyone else confirm this??
I keep seeing all these complicated root methods and then I see this today:

This seems too easy. Does it work on our device?
You searched to find your answer before posting, right?
If you mean did I search for Kingo in the Xperia ZL forum, then yes, no hits.
I see it works for others but I'm not sure about ours as I see no mention in the developer sub forum.
Thanks for the non-answer.

Well, it did. It worked fine a few days ago, today I unlocked my BL to see if I could. I relocked it, restored my TA, and tried to root again using this method. Now it fails root with a script error. Thats all it says, script error. Any idea's?
I want to try to root my phone, with Kingo root. The phone is already with the bootloader unlocked, after i followed those steps : http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
The phone is C6502, model number 10.3.1.A.2.67
What do you think, guys ? Would this method work for ?
Thank you
They just updated the program to 1.0.9 for Sony devices that where getting a script error, like mine was after I unlocked boot loader. Give it a try, it cant damage any thing.

Sorry for jumping into this tread but I would like to know how Kingo root works. Is there a specific route I need to follow to get this to work on my Tab, switching off, boot up or do I just plug it into my PC with Kingo running?

rooting Xperia T is realy easy :
there is no problem if you are on 18.1.A.1.14. it's explained in Google...
if you are on 18.1.a.1.21 :
Flash only the kernel 18.1.a.1.14 with Flashtool.
start the phone and connected it to PC (even if the phone is blocked on "updating apps")
Root the phone with RootKitXperia (last version is 20140719)
shutdown the phone
Flash only the kernel 18.1.a.1.21 with Flashtool.
start the phone
run SuperSu and accept upgrade.
in order to well connect the phone to PC you need to allow debbug USB, and to put the scard in MSC mode

Hi all,
I need help because I want to root my phone but all info I read is confused (also because is difficult to understand English for me). I'm looking for a process for root my phone with Android 6.0.1 with losing DRM Keys. Is there any custom ROM with DRM Keys, recovery and root for this phone? Please, I would appreciate a lot if someone can guide me.
Regards.

Kingroot is the simplest way to root!
other methods may be called "Dirty" (according to your definition) , involving unlocking bootloader, loosing original DRMkeys, flashing kernals (involving risk of bricking device / and/or stuck at bootloops) and finally gaining Root Access.

you can try since your OEM is SONYRIC and DM-Variety is ON. if it roots , vGOOD, otherwise kingroot is just another app waiting to find some security whole in android to bypass SONYRIC and DM-Varity to gain ROOT ACCESS in Android MM (6.x.x)
