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.

Hey XDA,

I really want to root my Xperia J, because it worked well on my Galaxy Ace anyways i sold my Ace and bought my self a Xperia J but i cant manage to Root my Device,
My Firmware Jellybean 4.1

Can i do it without Unlocking my bootloader
I tried DooMLords v17 one but it says Error over flow cleaning or something like that.

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
