Hi guys, I`m an new user and I`m starting my knologe about Android, so I have some questions about the procedure to Install CM10 on my device. I read many posts at the forum, but i got a little confused about the way I might procede.
-Fist of all my device is a Sony Xperia Arc S (X12) Lt18a, but all the information for rooting and installing CM10 are for the Lt18i, Does it make any diference, because i know that the frequecies are diferent, and i`m afraid my cellphont stop working here on Brasil.
-Second, i`m confused about what i might do first, i might root or flash my device?
My android is:4.0.4 ans version number is 4.1.B.0.431.

Help Rooting/Installing JB Rom on Sony Xperia Tipo

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..........
