The one-click root works on the AT&T version. You will need to sideload the apk file using ADB or Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine (SWM). There are several threads here discussing this. Try doing a search of this forum.
wow not much help
Somd people get errors when using the sideloder and dont even get me started on just try fixing the error or googleing it.
It sucks that such a forum exists and people arent willing to help there to lazy since they already got the help they needed and dont wana contribute since.there are users also having the same frustrations they once had!
people just dont want to have to answer the same questions over and over again when a simple search would turn up the answer.
So far I think this forum has pretty much answered every problem ive had with my x10 and its usually already been answered and I havent had to start a new thread.
thing is some people arent that computer savy and really would like to get the most of their phone without screwing anything up and i mean all this apk and sdk and seus ect... can get some people confused if it could get all tied up into one simple explanation that could do it also theres thousands of threads on this forum having to do with rooting i dont think one has enough time to be looking over every single one of these threads it is pretty DREADDDDFULLLLLLL
IF you need help rooting PM i will gladly help you out

There is a post in the Q/A section where I posted how to fix the issue where the phone isn't detected. I'm pretty new to android myself, but I've been in IT for going on close to 15 years now, so if I don't know exactly how to fix it I sure as hell can figure it out. The best way I've found to get SWM (it's really adb that's detecting the phone) to see it is by removing the sdk if you have it (just the 1.6 files), uninstalling the driver from device manager, and redownload the 1.6 files for the sdk. I've done it a number of times and it's worked every single time.
I don't think I have full root though, but all I really needed root for was to remove the at&t apps. I used SWM to sideload the exploid one-click root apk (x10root), ran that to get the SuperUser app, then downloaded Titanium from the market to remove the AT&T apps.
My friend hacked my Leo for me and needless to say I wasn't watching. I'll keep it brief and just ask what I want to know (yes I am a noob to hacking-.-):
What are the methods to flash new/better ROM onto my phone?
What is HSPL, Radio, Bootloader, MAGDLR, and NAND? And how do I use them?
IS there a manual/wiki for specifics on how to hack this phone and wtf all this stuff means?
Is it possible to have MAGDLR and NAND on one phone?? (I think I do)
AND BY ALL MEANS GUYS, IF THERE IS ONE THREAD THAT ENCOMPASSES ALL THIS INFORMATION THAT I WANT TO KNOW, IN DETAILLLLLL PLEASSSSE, POINT ME TO IT.
Because thus far, all the threads I've read give instruction to those who remotely know what they're doing.
Much appreciated guys.
That thread is exactly what I'm talking about though, I don't truley know about any of this terminology, is there any thread that outlines them?

Hi all,
I just registered on xda after I rooted my Arc yesterday (thank you all for the tutorials).
I've searched for a way to root my Xperia Arc, I've also found 1000 different ways to do it but none could provide me a step-by-step guide to root my Arc on my mac.
Yes, I know it might be strange (some comments, I've seen) to buy an Android phone when you own a mac but I like Android phones. Besides I don't think it is any different from buying an Android phone when you own a PC or to buy an iPhone when you own a PC.
That said, it didn't make it easier for me to root because almost all guides are written for Windows.
My intention is to write a step-by-step guide on how to root on macosx. I figured it would be a better idea to ask:
1. if it has already been done (Maybe my searches were not that good)
2. and if not, if some Arc users need such a guide?
Thank you all for the replies!
People usually just use Windows as attempts at using a MAC usually fail.

Alright, so not worth it?
I know you can run a VM to run all necessary programs but assuming you can't run Windows (no CD), you're kinda stuck.
It would obviously help those with a Mac, but I think this would also require some Dev input which is why most people give up and end up using Windows.

Oh yes, I know and I wasn't actually referring to myself, DooMLoRD made a bash script to root on Mac OSx.
I just wanted to detail the steps I've done to root my Arc on Mac OSX in a more comprehensive way for noobs (like myself) and credit the members (like DooMLoRD) for their work.
It's just because as a noob when you search on the forum for a way to root on MacOSX, you find yourself with ton of advice but no tutorials like on Windows.
I'm certainly not an expert in this, but can't you boot Linux from a disk or flash drive and root it using Linux?
You just made my life easier, Linux I can run, I wasn't aware of the possibility. I figured if there weren't any for MacOSX, it was the same on Linux. Thank you very much! I'll drop the idea of the guide and try to learn a bit more instead
I'd still do a guide for people, that way at least we can link people to it who need it.

Where should I post this "guide"?
This would be great guide actually since I'm also a mac user but it always pains me to go back to using windows for certain tasks lol

In the General section.
hey there.. i just want to learn @ask on how do root apps work like what they do to gain root nd how methods do to i really like to now just like to help ppl or learn more for my own use plz i really want to know.. WOW im so curious!! hehe thanks
Just my guess, I think they get root by requesting it, then the dialog appears and you allow it. Its then saved that that app can have root permissions. Don't know the technicals of how it request it but download some tools, and take an app apart and explore it.

Rooting is equivalent to to #su access in the Linux world. Which gives you complete control of your device by accessing the /system, /bin, bootloader and recovery images. By doing this you can greatly increase the options for our devices.
It's done by exploiting a security flaw in the firmware.
Some tools that require root access would be Absolute Tools, Screen Cast, Titanium Backup. If you are using a game or a productivity app that is requiring root access delete it straightaway.
And this is a forum, you don't have to use SMS short hand.
Ohh .. wow that's hard.. nd I can do this by my self?
If you're asking it - no, you can't.
Can i ask u why???.. because u look like u now ??
Because:
If you want to make Android apps, root or not - you need to learn Android development, install SDK, install Eclipse, read a lot of literature, make your first "Hello world" project, complete some more tutorials, think of a simple app that you want to make, and Google a lot while making it. And of course, you need to know some programming before, on whatever object-oriented language - since Java is quite simple to understand if you know C++ or alike. Then you need to decide, what do you want to make a root app for, and Google your way to understand, how should your app ask for root privileges on execution. Then you should learn how to sign your app.
If you just want to know how to modify apps, how is Android built, how do you make changes to files etc - you'll still need to understand all the above, but you'll also need to read some decompiling guides for using smali/baksmali, learn how to use apktool and various Java decompilation code viewers, perform some simple modifications to practice, and then do some more complicated work that you set your eyes on.
And to look for exploits that allow rooting, you need to be a VERY experienced programmer, easily navigate tenths of thousands of lines of C code, know your way inside drivers, etc.
And if you need me to write you all that - it means you're nowhere near starting it all, means you can't "do it yourself" any time soon, or at all.
Oh wow... thanks man.. nd sorry if i got u mad.. haha.. nd i just wanted to now if i could make a root ap.. lol.. im just a 15 noob kid.. nd thanks u really now

1. YES!, if you really want to know what rooting does,
-rooting is the process of gaining superuser access or administrative access to all system files, that is why the typical stock roms from samsung are not rooted so that the normal user does not have administrative access to manipulate or change and system files including apps cannot change the system files, rooting can cause a software malfunction (soft brick) if you in any case wrongly do something and mess your system,
2. apps that require rooting are those that need to manipulate or change something inside the system files,
please we have google to search for such facts and answer,
if you want a quick answer right away the search for "what is rooting android" in google,
By staring at this post you have agreed to waive your right to privacy,
complaints will be trolled accordingly

Of course their is but the chances of it are very small you'll have to go over and above disobeying every instruction in order order for that to happen

Follow rules , search before posting , be kind to all and enjoy being here
doomsday coming make your nandroid backup before its too late !
First know why you want to root your phone, and if you follow the proper procedure with the appropriate update.zip file, your phone won't be bricked.
I think link2sd and root explorer are the first thing you will ask after rooting.
Finally there's an awesome button named SEARCH. just try it bro.

take a bat or any other solid object...
lay it down on the floor...
then lift it about 1 cm from the floor..
now drop it...
the chances that states the bat will break = chances phone getting brick...
**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...**
