I have posted on here before but no-one bothered to answer so I'm posting again.
I need to know how to root my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc LT15i. I have the ICS 4.0.4 standard SE issue installed with a locked bootloader. I have followed several tutorials on this site and ended up having a phone that keeps crashing after starting up.
1. Where is the ROMs required to install before rooting?
2. Where is the tool to root this phone?
3. Where is the latest ROM for ICS?
Also, clear instructions would be appreciated - please don't direct me to another forum topic because that didn't help at all.
google or search

Hi all! I'm a considerable new comer to the world of Android. I bought my Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman in April this year and I have been running Gingerbread 2.3.4 build .62. I rooted it by following the steps listed out here.
Now that ICS is out I would like to give it a go. However the Update Center app on my phone says that I have the latest software and even PC Companion and SUS says the same thing (although sony says the update has been rolled out for my device's SI number). Anyways I found the ROM (ftf File) online and thought I'd do it manually via Flashtool.
On looking for a way to root it I found a tutorial by tracer123 where the polish blood project kernel has to be flashed. While trying to find out more about this kernel I learned that WiFi tether is not working and this feature is pretty important to me; the other features that don't work aren't quite as important and I don't mind not having them.
So my question is, is there another way to root android 4.0.4 on my LwW?
P.S. - I did find a tutorial similar to tracer123's (where the it's downgraded to a previous version, rooted and then uploaded) in the Sony support forum but since 4.0.4 is the first version of ICS to roll out to LwW I was stuck once more
have you try this method?

Hi,
I have an Arc S (LT18i) which i have updated to ICS (4.0.3) using PC Companion and rooted using DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.
I have followed many forums and guides, but i am still not able to get the CWM for my phone. Also tried ROM Manager ..
I want to start using custom roms !
PLEASE HELP ?
See this thread I started. Although my android's version is 4.0.4, the CWM Auto Installer from Google Play will still work on your 4.0.3 LT18i.

Read through the entire thread to fix the charging issue after installing.
Good luck

Hello everybody,
First of all, I'd like to apologise if I'm posting this in the wrong thread, I'm kinda lost, as I'm new to this website and the smartphone world in general.
See, I've just bought a Sony Xperia Tipo ( http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_tipo-4718.php ) in the UK, and I moved back to my country (Peru), so my warranty is already voided.
What I wanted to do was to root and install a JB Rom (admittedly, I haven't found much information about this, and even the beginner guides I found confusing).
I was thinking on doing it without asking by following this tutorial on how to root a Xperia Tipo ( http://androidadvices.com/root-sony-xperia-tipo-st21a-android-phone-tutorial/ ), then I found this other one in the XDA forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890478 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971370 but the comments were somehow discouraging and the instructions were more than confusing for my slow working brain (sorry!).
Then I read that Sony Xperia Tipo does not support the unlock bootloader function ( http://2e0b66ea.yyv.co/ - from the official sony xperia website), does that mean I won't be able to install a cuztomized JB ROM?
Now, I've also searched through the forums and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28929562#post28929562
Having said that, I would very much appreciate a rooting guide for dummies for the Sony Xperia Tipo (or should I just use one of those tutorials i posted?)
Will I be able to install the JB ROM I mentioned on my Tipo?
Thank you guys so much in advance for any future replies and I apologise for the stupidity of my question, but I had to ask before bricking my phone.
P.S: Needs to be said that I just bought the phone, so I didn't make any configurations or anything, was waitign to see if I can root my headset first.
you can unlock boot loader for tipo
as it is confirmed by sony official website
check it out...............
they updated there website..........
Hello XDA,
So a few days ago, I rooted my Xperia Tipo st21i using King Root
(http://www.kingroot.net)
My reason for rooting was to install a custom ROM, which I knew would speed up my phone and offer more customisation options.
So I followed some tutorials on Youtube, I got CWM installed, but didn't unlock boot loader.
First I backed up using Titanium, and I have the backup on my iMac
I used these tutorials:
Install Rom: https://youtu.be/sG1NClM9aeA
CWM Install:https://youtu.be/0MjdHbAcAgM
As instructed in the first tutorial I put the zip of Super Jelly Bean 8.0 on my device and used CWM to install.
But... I didn't wipe
And it bricked...
I've tried the rubber band trick as mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/help/xperia-tipo-wont-help-t2510628
My phone always shows a black screen even when I hold power for 3 seconds and I can't find help anywhere.
Thanks for feedback!
