Have you tried the Xperia Arc part of the forum, more particularly this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
I had to unlock my boot loader, then I used a one-click root made for this model phone, you must also make sure you have the drivers for your phone and the Android SDK.
Then I flashed a kernel, booted into clockwork mod and made a backup. This is pretty much advised incase something on your phone goes wrong, you can restore it from there as well.
Everything you need to know is on that thread, and you can get to the whole Xperia Arc forum from there.

Hi Guys,
Recently I Had Flashed My Phone To ADV ROM v1.4[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309415] For My Sony Xperia J!
The ROM Has Got Some Bugs And Hence I Want To Get Back To My Stock JB Rom.
The Bugs Are-
1)Phone Force Closes..So You Cant Call Any One By Manually Writing Number In The Phone App.
2)Uninstalling Any App Shows Some Error!
P.S-I've Got No backup! Please Help Me!
Also, When I try To flash The JB ftf on The Phone It Shows Device Disconnected Although The Phone Shows Green Light Initially!
The ftf Was Working Perfect When I Upgraded From ICS to JB(using the ftf).
Please Help Me out!
And remember That I Have Got No Backup!
Please Send Me The ZIP file Of Official JB So that I Can Flash It In CWM! Or Please Provide Any Other Alternate Method.
Thanks!

You can use a recovery tool from sony to return your phone to stock. You can find the tool from sony official website, just download and install the necessary usb drivers and with original cable and internet connection you can return the phone to the latest stock rom available for the phone.
This always work. I have tried this with my lg nitro hd(P930) and Optimus 3D.
Hi!
I have an idea which could work (possibly ), if we (someone) can port a cwm that is made for another device for locked bootloader like Xperia Z then could we successfully make it work. This works on a locked bootloader because instead of installing cwm on the boot partition as you would normally do with an unlocked bootloader, you would install it on the system partition.
You can do this for many other devices so could some devs possibly port cwm.
Thanks!
Nice !!. I am looking for exactly this... Please devs try something please!

For that you have to keep screen alive while the rooting process is going on! And also tick USB Debugging on!
Try again if you fail once or twice!
Best luck
Hit thanks if i helped! It wont take much time

Use UnlockRoot or SuperOneclick, then check with Root Checker app If it works please say thanks )
Doomlord kit must work, if it doesn't then you're doing something wrong. Did you install adb drivers? Did you allow usb debugging and unknown sources?

Done all that, DooMLord kit says 'Error file over flow'
Hmm, strange. Doomlord's tool should work, it has even been confirmed that your device, and firmware is supported! Perhaps http://cydiaimpactor.com or http://srsroot.com ?
You can try those two, it won't hurt your device if they fail.
Then make sure that only your device is connected to usb and try few times, because for me it usually takes two times for it to work.

Try UnlockRootPro it does root your device even when he bootloader is locked.. With ease! Make sure you've USB debugging enabled while you connect your phone to pc! It did work for me fine!! Try and post the result
Thanks me if I helped you :thumbup::thumbup:

i am a junior too. got my phone 2 months ago and i am not a developer, even though i have some IT expertise. up until now, i messed up the android on this phone probably 20 times and reinstalled it everytime in a couple of minutes. i have tested lots of roms and kernels, some of them several times over and my impression is it's difficult to really brick it. maybe not having a charged battery while flashing, but that never happened to me.
try installing clockwork mod recovery after rooting, because it's really useful. then use extensively the backup it provides, before flashing something.
otherwise, follow the forums. these guys know what they do.
Thnaks it really helped
