Help on rooting...

Dear all,
I had search and google through every web site and yet I cannot find a solution on how to root my sony ericsson arc.
The story is like this, at first I was able to root my phone using gingerbreak apk 1.2. However, I had wrongly set the LCD Density of my phone and cause it keep on rebooting. So I had flash it.
After flash it, everythings seems just like normal. However, I am unable to root the phone now. While I am running gingerbreak 1.1/1.2/1.3, it keep on stuck at the "running exploit" like forever. Can anyone please help me out on this matter? Please......feel really dissapointed now...
You really didn't look very hard, did you? I mean, did you even find the arc forums?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=962
All your question will be answered there. Just do some searching.

sorry bro...
I am very new in this field...
can you tel me which thread should i refer to get the solution?
Post a question in the general forum. Do you know if your phone is sim locked / boot loader locked?
There is no easy root from the latest firmware. You need to flash a new kernal.

how to check on whether sim is lock / bootloader is lock?
Cause previously I has rooted the phone using gingerbreak (firmware is 2.3.2)
However this time I accidentally install firmware 2.3.3, will this be the reason that I am unable to root my phone? Thanks.
Well, can you put any sim into the device?
Your bootloader is probably locked. You can check here to see if you can unlock your bootloader...

I don't actually have a arc so you really would be much better off posting a question on the arc general forum.

Help s-off my HTC one S

Hello guys,
I have this HTC one S s4 (after checking max gpu with 1512mhz)
I am running Pacman build 22.2.0 with hboot 1.14.
Now I'm just wondering what should I use/do to acquire the s-off? Should I use the face palm or moonshine?
Also since it's rooted and running custom rom does it mean I have the super Cid already?
My apologies for so much questions, as I rooted and custom Rom it way back and now I don't remember what to do.
Thanks for the help.

Rooting or scid is not required for custom roms. You have to check it yourself.
S-off? Look in OP. Decide for yourself wich is best, both work. Check requirements.

Custom rom

Is there trying to make a custom rom for the device
Problem is that the bootloader is locked, therefore it is not possible to flash another ROM.

Bootloader isnt a problem, there are phones with locked bootloader and custom roms, for example Xperia Z2. Locked bootloader is a problem when u want to make custom kernel.
We just dont have developers to make a custom rom, its sad that g flex is not a popular device, even LG dont care about it anymore.

Doubtful due to dm-verity security, it would be nice to get locked Bootloader root don't think it'll happen though, but there is no way I'll use kingroot I'll go without root before I use that.

It's not as simple as that, Kingroot devs need a security exploit to root, not only 300 peoples who need root lol, they are not Gods. It's like finding jailbreak exploit on IOS, you can wait for looong months or more.
Read this you will easily understand: http://www.xda-developers.com/a-look-at-marshmallow-root-verity-complications/
On ALL others Xperia devices you need to downgrade to Lollipop for root and update to Marshmallow after or have unlocked bootloader to flash modified boot.img and to allow root under Marshmallow.
But I'm crossing fingers with you if it can help :fingers-crossed:

But u're right - few times while rooting i have to downgrade Android, then root and then back to latest firmware with root on board Idk exactly why, but I dont want unlock brand new phone ^^ So we have to wait

Same here reluctant to unlock my Bootloader until I can back up the ta keys for which for our device isn't currently possible there's also no fully working twrp and more people seem to have the dual model than the LTE model so most stuff is for that. Plenty of experience rooting and flashing that's about it.

@aidy.lucas I'm OK with you, I lost 24 months warranty because unlocking bootloader but no pain no gain . For single sim models I have zero feedback and on dual no bad feedbacks after root. Just a little correction, TWRP is fully working like on others Marshmallow devices, mounting /system rw doesn't seem to be a problem on XA (tested full backup and restore) :good:

how to root?

hi guys,
is there a complete guide to root? is it possible to root without unlocking the bootloader?
tnx
I have no idea- sorry! But I haven't felt the need to root for this phone. It's plenty quick for me, and with the camera mood, it's perfect
Are there any good ROMs out? I haven't looked....

I don't know, I need the root just to install adaway and titanium
Root needs bootloader unlock.
