How To Root Xperia Arc [Full guide w/ video] [Updated for Android 2.3.4 ROMS]

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: Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won�t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.

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:

  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.

    6. 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.

  34. i followed everything but can’t do the “Shift + Mouse Right Click” it’s not giving me the “Open command window here” option,what i’m doing wrong??? my xperia arc is unlocked,i mean it’s sim free,that’s mean the bootloader is unlocked,is it???

    1. 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.

      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?

  98. I do every thing like the video but wen its sopuse to flash says waiting for device any help???

    1. Solved drivers problem but now it cnt flash says “FAILED remote: Device must be rooted first”

    2. you need first to update the drivers,
      go to device manager and you will see there device that called root or somwthing like that, so you need to update it…
      you have the drivers in your rar file that you dowbload already.
      i hade the same issue but i stuck on other stage, i get error that telling me my device must be rooted :S
      hop for helping.

    3. Exactly. You’ve to have unlocked boot loader to flash a custom image.

      Glad you sorted it out 🙂

    4. i already make it thanks.
      but have other problem now 🙂
      after my device turn on, i get error android.process.acore crash or something like that, and i cant use my phone i press force close  and its back again and again
      any one?

    5. Go to settings — select Privacy — select Factory data reset — reset phone.

      This should solve your problem.

      NOTE: It’ll wipe all the data on your phone, so make a backup of your contacts, messages, bookmarks etc.. before you factory reset your phone.
      Hope it helps 🙂

      I’m not sure

    9. 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.

          5. I will try that first thing in the morning. Thank u so much for replying so fast. I’ll let you know how I go asap.

          6. completed the flash process 🙂

  119. 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

    1. First flash the 4.0.A.2.368 firmware using flashtool, and then flash the rooted system image given in this guide.

      Please follow the guide to every word of it.

      1. I was trying to flash the 4.0.A.2.368 using flashtool, it did not want to recognise that i’ve connect it to the computer

          1. Wait. Install the ‘Sony Ericsson PC Companion’ software on your PC. It’ll install all the necessary drivers.

            Hope it helps

          2. Sony Erisson PC Companion 2.0 was installed on my pc.. 🙁

          3. Even though i have it installed, should I update the phone software? I read somewhere that if the phone’s bootloader is unlocked, to not update the phone?

            I’m not sure

          4. 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 🙂

  128. Hi again 🙂 today my phone showed new notificatio saying new system update is available 4.0.1.A.0.283
    I rooted the phone with your help a couple weeks back.

    Was wondering what I should do 🙂

    Pani

    1. 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 – http://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 🙂

    5. 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? 🙂

    6. 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.

    6. 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!

    7. 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 🙂

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

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