I am a new member here and I have maybe an solution for all you out there who keep tryin to root the ICS 4.1.B.0.431 version on their Xperia Arc
It worked for me so please feedback and correct me if i am wrong
So I done that like this:
1. I downloaded the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.431 for my Arc.
2. I flashed it on my Arc with flashtool.
3. Then I tried to root it with Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS by Doomlord ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038 ) but no succes
4. I found that thread: [07/04][arc/arc s][ics 4.0.3] very stabe, smooth, nice and best for battery fc3.0
5. And in this thread I found that kernel: http://www.mediafire.com/?8499hc90y9eoa06
6. I flashed it on my Arc with the stock ICS
7. I used again the Rooting toolkit by Doomlord
8. And voiiiiiila........i got root!
As mentioned I tried that and it worked for me
thanks for the tips and solution dude

Bunnybash you need flashtool (better for beginners), the kernel which i provided in my thread (thanks to the dev who made it) and of course a Xperia Arc
First download the kernel and after that the kernel which you put somewhere on your desktop.
Then after installing open up Flashtool and click on the lightning (sory my english is bad) and select fastboot mode.
Then just click on select kernel to flash and clickthe one you placed on the desktop.
Follow the on-screen instructions and you are done

I have a Xperia ARC, after trying to root my phone by different ways, flashing so many roms, I found the way to get it. But not with 4.1.B.0.431, I got it with 4.1.A.0.562 and I have locked bootloader.
First you have to download the 4.1.A.0.562 rom, as I see you know how to flash it. Go to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598072 and download the rom.
Then go to this forum Thanks to DoomLord http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038 and there you have the instruction to root your xperia.
Please read CAREFULLY the instructions, download ALL the files it suggest before start the procedure. And in the step 5 and 6, do it as it says, if not you won't get you phone rooted.
Keep reading the instruction in the CMD window during the rooting process specially when it says: Turn off and On USB debbuging.
Please thanks people in the forum I suggest, they were whom really did the job. Hope this could help you.

Ok, I want to root right? I get the message that I can only load a image/kernel when I'm on a rooted device...
So, to root I need a rooted device? I got stuck with the flashtool...

Try this tool X8 Toolbox
I did first steps with CWM using it.
problem after instaling Gingerdx on stock x8
I instaled cwm w/o unlock bootloader by RecoverX
i did full factory reset and others later i instaled Gingerdx by ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.2.0.0.(this from RecovereX)
my x8 have stock kernel, system looks nice but i discovered few bugs:
-when i change themes bar with battery and clock disappear(always)
-one time all functions from power button doesnt worked(that happend at first run )
-sometimes system freeze only removing battery help
its happens bcs i have stock kernel or what?:/
there is some way to solve this problem?
thanks

Hello,
I rooted my sony ericsson xperia J following THIS metod, and then I tried to install CWM using THIS metod, but after I finished installing CWM and I try to use it (when sony logo appears, click volume - repeteadly) my screen turns completely black and it doesn't enter the CWM.
I tried to install it again but when I try too use it, it does the same thing.
My bootloader is locked and following what I read ( THIS ) I can't unlock it.
My goal is to install Cyanogen rom in my xperia J ( I had one HTC desire with it, and i simply love that rom).
What can i do?
thank you for you attention

This is working cwm for jb!
If you have unlocked bootloader,no need to install cwm... just flash boot.img (you can find in my mediafire folder in signature) . Cwm is included! boot.img is kernel for custom rom cm10! Without him you get bootloop!

use flashtool version 0.9.18.6
and make sure u installed all required drivers properly. If you use windows 8 or 10, you have to disable driver signature enforcement in order to be able to install the drivers.

I flashed my Sony Xperia using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-friendly-root-recovery-installation-t2989689
After flashing the boot.img file using Minimal ADB and Fastboot as intructed, my phone restarted and the Xperia Logo was distorted and there's a blue screen below it. But my phone still is active, it can even receive calls. It just doesn't show the screen. it's just black. When I press the power button, the light comes on but you cant see anything on the screen. Please help, if there's anyone who experienced the same issue, pls help me fix it. Thanks.

OR
You might have flashed D2212 boot.img on D2203 or D2206 or D2243

Have similar problem (tried to flash TWRP to my Xperia E3 D2203 with flashify APP on my phone) and now when I try to swich on, only "SONY XPERIA" comes with the red light on the diode, then it vibrates once and the screen is black. I've tried to use Sony Companion, but it doesn't recognize the phone. So doesn't flashtool (when I wanted to flash new firmware). I've installed all drivers required (ADB, fastboot and flashmode). When I open the device manager (I use Windows 7) it doesn't recognize the phone as well. Any solutions?
