This is a full step-by-step guide (w/ video) for rooting Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. You’ll be required to unlock your phone’s boot loader first to get root access, so proceed only if you’re willing to unlock boot loader or if you’ve already unlocked it. [warning]The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky and you should not attempt if you don’t know completely what it is. If any damage occurs to you or your device, we won’t be held liable. You only will be responsible — you’ve been warned. Okay![/warning]

Unlocking the Boot loader [IMPORTANT!]:

To be able to root your Xperia Arc. You’ll have to first unlock the boot loader on your phone (If you’ve already unlocked boot loader on your phone then skip this step). Below is the link to our simple step-by-step guide: Simple guide to Unlock Boot Loader On Xperia Arc, Play, Neo and Pro

Instructions for Rooting Xperia Arc:

Video guide:

The video shows rooting of an Android 2.3.2 ROM, but rooting instructions are similar for Android 2.3.4 ROMS as well, so you can safely refer to the video below, but do follow the instructions carefully.

  1. Go to Settings page on your phone, scroll down to bottom of the screen and select “About phone”, now check your “Model number” and ”Build number”. And then choose an appropriate file for your version of phone from the link below:NOTE:The file given below is rooted system image for Android 2.3.4 [4.0.1.A.0.283] Global firmware, and it’s highly recommended to have the non-rooted version of the firmware installed on your phone before flashing the root image.So if you’re not already on an Android 2.3.4 [4.0.1.A.0.283] firmware, then follow the link below to upgrade your phone to the latest firmware using ‘Flashtool’: Complete guide on how to flash “.ftf” firmware files using Flashtool

    Below is the Android 2.3.4 [4.0.1.A.0.283] rooted system image:

    [list type=arrow]

  2. Download the following file, named “fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar”, from this link.
  3. Switch OFF your phone. Wait until it vibrates to ensure that it has completely switched off.
  4. Now extract the file you downloaded in Step 1.2. You’ll get two folders — “fastboot” and “usb-driver”.
  5. Into the “fastboot” folder you need to cut/copy/paste the file you downloaded in Step 1 (See the video for reference).
  6. Now pick up your phone (it must be Switched OFF) and hold the “Menu” key (the key at the bottom right side of your phone), now while holding the Menu key, connect your phone to your PC with an USB cable.
  7. Once connected — the LED light near the phone’s USB plug will turn blue. If it doesn’t — repeat the Step 6.
  8. Open the “fastboot” folder that we extracted in Step 4.
  9. Now hold Shift and press mouse right click (Shift + Mouse Right Click) anywhere on the empty white space inside the “fastboot” folder. And then select “Open command window here” from the context menu (See video for reference).
  10. Type/Paste the following line in the command prompt window:

fastboot flash system LT15i_4.0.1.A.0.283_Generic_Global_system.img

And hit Enter.

  1. Now wait for the process to complete. Command prompt will show a “Finished” message when it will be completed.
  2. Once it’s done, disconnect the USB cable from your phone and Switch ON your phone.
  3. Inside the app drawer check for “Superuser” app. You’re all good if it’s there, but if it’s not in the app drawer, then search for it in the Android Market as “Superuser” and install it.

Now to ensure that your phone have root access, try some apps that require root access. I tried “Titanium Backup” and it worked well.

Many thanks to XDA member ‘rahul.pillai’ for providing the rooted system image.

      If your phone is not locked to your carrier, then you can unlock the boot
      loader, and if you can unlock the boot loader, you can flash any firmware
      onto your phone — that’s the truth, so your phone will probably work with
      your carrier after rooting.

      Make sure you’re doing the “Shift + Mouse Right Click” on a clear white
      space in the window. Watch the embedded video, it may help.

      And no having an unlocked (sim free) phone doesn’t mean you’ve boot loaders
      unlocked, you’ve to do that separately.

    Saberia dizer se a versão “LT15a GLOBAL”(LT15a Xperia arc_2.3.3, 3.0.1.A.0.145_Rogers Canada.ftf / arc_lt15a_modded.img) teria o idioma PT-BR?
    Estou querendo habilitar o root no meu mas quero uma rom com suporte nacional.

    Agradeço a vossa atenção desde já.

      Irei criar coragem neste fim de semana e farei a troca da room, apesar de querer manter a versão oficial.

      Darei um retorno se der certo.

      Só por curiosidade: theandroidsoul depois que tu trocou a imagem do ARC por está com o root habilitado por acaso tem aquela lista de linguagens enorme no menu Idiomas a ser escolhida?

      Grato novamente.

      I will pluck up the courage this weekend and will return to the room, despite wanting to heep the official version.

      I will always return if successful.

      Just curious: theandroidsoul after you changed the image of the ARC is enabled with the root happens to have that huge list of languages in the Languages menu to be chosen?

      Thanks again.

    Saberia dizer se a versão “LT15a GLOBAL”(LT15a Xperia arc_2.3.3, 3.0.1.A.0.145_Rogers Canada.ftf / arc_lt15a_modded.img) teria o idioma PT-BR?
    Estou querendo habilitar o root no meu mas quero uma rom com suporte nacional.

    Agradeço a vossa atenção desde já.

    Tell if the version “LT15a Global”(LT15a Xperia arc_2.3.3, 3.0.1.A.0.145_Rogers Canada.ftf / arc_lt15a_modded.img) would have the language PT-BR?
    I am wanting to enable root in may ARC, but I want a rom with national support.

        Irei criar coragem neste fim de semana e farei a troca da room, apesar de querer manter a versão oficial.

        Darei um retorno se der certo.

        Só por curiosidade: theandroidsoul depois que tu trocou a imagem do ARC por está com o root habilitado por acaso tem aquela lista de linguagens enorme no menu Idiomas a ser escolhida?

        I will pluck up the courage this weekend and will return to the room, despite wanting to heep the official version.

        I will always return if successful.

        Just curious: theandroidsoul after you changed the image of the ARC is enabled with the root happens to have that huge list of languages in the Languages menu to be chosen?

    I can’t turn on BT after rooting. It’s not a hw failure since I reflashed the original fw and BT works fine. I noticed that I get a “bad block” message during rooting though.

        Guys install the superuser app from the market. It’ll work.

        I’ll update the guide with tip soon.

    Ive unlocked bootloader, currently on 2.3.3
    build number 3.0.1.A.0.145

    I tried rooting it through gingerbreak version 1.2 several times. Almost giving up. I even almost relocked my arc, tried flashing it few times also, would not recognise the device kept coming up error. So now mine is unlocked from bootloader, not rooted. What are the consequences if i leave it like this ?

    Should i give this one a go? Thank you

      Okay do this.

      After extracting the ‘flashtool.exe’ file you’ll see a folder named ‘drivers’, and inside the ‘drivers’ folder there will be a setup file.. try installing it. It may solve your drivers problem 🙂

      And no there’s no harm in updating your phone through flashtool.

      I’ve updated the guides for the latest firmware, and here’s what you should do:

      1. Update your phone to the latest firmware, 4.0.1.A.0.283, using flashtool. You can get the download links from here – https://nerdschalk.com/tutorial-how-to-flash-a-firmware-using-flashtool-on-xperia-arc/
      2. Root the phone as you did before. I’ve just updated this post 🙂

      BTW, you can also update your phone using SEUS, but for that you’ll have to re-lock the phone’s bootloader. And then unlock again to root, so it’d be convenient for you to update using flashtool 🙂

      The first method sounds like a better option than updating thru SEUS removing unlocking n root.

      I’m notsure if I read somewhere that it’s highly recommended to have a non rooted version firmware installed on the phone before flashing the root image, So it’s okay to root again? 🙂

      Yes that’s exactly what we’ll be doing. We’re gonna flash the non-rooted firmware first using flashtool and then flash the rooted system image.

      1. Update your phone to the latest firmware, 4.0.1.A.0.283, using flashtool. You can get the download links from here – https://nerdschalk.com/tutorial-how-to-flash-a-firmware-using-flashtool-on-xperia-arc/
      2. Root the phone as you did before. I’ve just updated this post 🙂

      BTW, you can also update your phone using SEUS, but for that you’ll have to re-lock the phone’s bootloader. And then unlock again to root, so it’d be convenient for you to update using flashtool 🙂

        The first method sounds like a better option than updating thru SEUS removing unlocking n root.

        I’m notsure if I read somewhere that it’s highly recommended to have a non rooted version firmware installed on the phone before flashing the root image, So it’s okay to root again? 🙂

        1. Shivam Avatar

          Yes that’s exactly what we’ll be doing. We’re gonna flash the non-rooted firmware first using flashtool and then flash the rooted system image.

      Run the “ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe” file from the ‘drivers’ folder that you get after extracting the “Flashtool exe” file.

      This should install proper drivers for you 🙂

      So try again after installing the drivers.

      I know what’s the problem:
      I downloaded a 1.65GHZ overclock from this site
      but it was for 2.3.3 so it’s wrong kernel or so, if i got it right, cause it does work with only root
      could someone make an overclock for the 2.3.4? or am I able to downgrade to rooted 2.3.3?
      thanks for your help!

      the problem was that i was flashing the root image on the 2.3.3 (older) so i had to flash the .tft file of the new update and then the rooted img now every thing is ok 10x anyway 🙂

    Could someone please help me? I used this root for my arc, and i am now on 2.3.4
    Thanks!

      Factory reset your phone. It may help.
      Remember it’ll erase all your data, so take a backup first.

          Flash the latest firmware again using flashtool, then check if your problem is solved, if yes, then flash the root image.

            I know what’s the problem:
            I downloaded a 1.65GHZ overclock from this site
            but it was for 2.3.3 so it’s wrong kernel or so, if i got it right, cause it does work with only root
            could someone make an overclock for the 2.3.4? or am I able to downgrade to rooted 2.3.3?
            thanks for your help!

          2. Dj_rc Avatar

            the problem was that i was flashing the root image on the 2.3.3 (older) so i had to flash the .tft file of the new update and then the rooted img now every thing is ok 10x anyway 🙂

            You wouldn’t have faced the problem if you’d read the instructions carefully. Anyway, glad you got you sorted it out 🙂

      Oh you shouldn’t have done that. Anyway, here’s a firmware file for your Xperia Mini Pro SK17i — http://goo.gl/Pl08G. Flash it using Flashtool to get your phone back to normal.

      If you need help with flashing using Flashtool, here’s a handy guide → https://nerdschalk.com/tutorial-how-to-flash-a-firmware-using-flashtool-on-xperia-arc/
