There are some tutorials about how to root in this forum, but they need to downgrade to 2.3.2.
I found a blog, which teachs how to root Arc 2.3.3 with just an APK.
You can try if you need it.

I see, how to remove the thread? I don't want to waste other's time
They require us to downgrade to 2.3.2 and then use Gingerbreak i.e. the apk and then update OTA to get a rooted 2.3.3 (Locked bootloaders ONLY).
This is because SE patched the exploit used by Gingerbreak in their 2.3.3 ROM.
Hope this clears things up for you. Cheers!
It's fine. I'm sure the mods will either lock or delete this thread sometime. Don't worry about it.
i read the post. author wasn't even sure if it's working and is asking the readers to confirm his post. LOL...
like what kistigun said, gingerbreak doesnt work on 2.3.3. so flashing to a 2.3.2 rom was necessary for it to be able to run the rooting exploit.

EDIT: See HERE
yeah, i mentioned that none of the rooting methods work, nor does the flashing tool work, but i guess no one listened to me :\
I thought the SuperOneClick might have worked but it just hangs.
unknown13x you tried to downgrade from 2.1 to some 1.6 firmware using x10flash and it didn't work?
Bollocks, I was banking on root still working so I could restore my apps using titanium...CRAP. Yeah ive just tried x10 root + UniversalAndroot, both fail.
Edit: Wrong topic...
Just rooted x10 with 2.1 android with SuperOneClick:

Why thank you, I was born in the 18th century, so I didnt understand that.
Ofcourse there is no way a simple savage such as myself could ever have tried that method already.
What I meant was, HOW did he get it to work.
i take liberty of closing the thread since the root is confirmed!!

www.google.co.uk is the link you need.
Then in the box type "how to downgrade 2.3.4 to 2.3.3" then you'll be given several links to the many websites with guides and how-tos

I am guessing this might be coming from someone once it's released, but it's been a while since I played with my phone and I'm not that tech savy on the latest on these as things are constantly moving/changing.
I'm running a 2.2 Custom ROM and would like to upgrade to the stock generic 2.3 GB once it's released and I have no clue as to the best way to do this. So once it's out, if we can get a decent step by step how to, that would be great.
Thank you.
i would say use the flashtool thread in the dev section, flash a world generic rom and the corresponding baseband. don't root it or anything like that.
sign in, then connect to pc companion and see if the update hits.
Flash stock 2.1 firmware
update your x10 thru SE software
ensure your phone is rooted and xrecovery installed then wait for pre-rooted gb update to come out on here. It will be almost certainly simply bea case of flashing kernal and baseband using flashtool and custom update using xrecovery.
i certainly would not recommend flashing your phone back to stock 2.1 roms at this point in time - if you update to stock gingerbread then rooting may become more tricky and you may well have to go back to 2.1 rooted before you can get a rooted gingerbread - we simply dont know what security fixes will be included in the gingerbread update - so we dont know how easy it will be to root it once you have updated to stock 2.3
step 1. wait for the rom to launch
step 2. go to the gingerbread thread and read!!
step 3. read before posting the same question that's been asked thousands of times already!!
Do you guys know 2.3 update is out?

I'm going for this route as well, wait for a flashtools rootable 2.3. But i don't think it will take much long, the x10 gingerbread rom is based on the one SE worked for the Arc and that was rooted pretty quickly, no?
For those still with stock 2.1 i can understand all the excitement, but for me, i've been using a custom rom with basically the same UI and features for a while, I can wait a little longer.
They were only able to root arc/play/neo 2.3.2 they are still working on a way to root 2.3.3 so far no luck.

If you are referring to using an easy one-click method to root, then yes you are correct.
But there are other ways to achieve root on 2.3.3 which involves flashing.

Yeah, I was reading the post 2 above this one swearing & shaking my fists, because I'm running j's 2.3.3 rooted rom right now....2.3.3 can be rooted, it's just gonna be a little while before it's a one-click. That's always how it goes
Now that arc, neo, play & x10 are all gonna be 2.3.3, maybe it'll get the ball rolling a little faster on one-click solutions. We do have the largest Xperia dev community in the X10 section, afterall
We can simply "repair" the phone with SEUS. SEUS will download the last version for your device and install it automatically.

maybe, but only with an unrooted, unbranded generic 2.1 rom SE says to use PCC, which means it will most likely be available for SEUS, too (IIRC, they use the exact same database for the rom updates)
Good info so far. I might sell my phone (or lend it to a friend) and it would obviously sell best with an OEM 2.3 unlocked ROM which is assumingly bug-free for the most part.
So SEUS looks at what is currently on the phone and repairs it to that?

SEUS does the same thing PCC does, but it actually works every time like it should
It reflashes your firmware....and it's saved my ass many, many times If it weren't for SEUS I'd have a bricked phone at least a dozen times over lulz

Same thing here.
Okay, so bare with me. I am still on 2.2 running visionary r13 one touch and oc'd. I haven't messed with my phone since last year and this is as far as I got and was completely satisfied running this setup.
I have had the 2.3.3 ota hit my phone but I didn't install yet. When I researched a bit, it seems that many people are getting 2.3.4. Will I have to install 2.3.3 first and I will get an immediate OTA for 2.3.4? Furthermore, if I install 2.3.3, or 2.3.4, how will I go about oc'ing my phone again? I'm assuming there might not be an easy 1 touch root available. I'm limited to my abilities and found visionary 1 touch convenient and easy. Any help for a noob would be great!

well once you ota, you need to root your phone again before you can oc. also you need to ota to 2.3.3 before 2.3.4. also DO NOT USE VISIONARY, it will brick your phone
Try gfree to root ur phone!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I would personally recommend that you first properly root your phone using the wiki method (gfree). Then you can flash a pre-rooted OTA update. That way you'll keep root but also be on the latest software.
possible to "gfree" (root) even 2.3.3 stock?

I have official OTA 2.3.3 so does the wiki method (gfree) applies even for me? Or there's no-one that been able to root 2.3.3 version?
If the root has been done, can you please provide me with the links? Thank you.
Ok, so i pretty much need to uninstall visionary, install ota 1.3.3, install ota 1.3.4, and the finally perma root, then I can run oc?

If you're currently on the 2.3.3 OTA update, you'll first have to downgrade to 2.2, then achieve root with the gfree method, then go back to 2.3.3 with a pre-rooted ROM. Info I believe has made it into the wiki, but you may have to search some of the recent threads in here also.
do not update to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 unless already rooted on froyo. There still is no official rooting method for those ota's. You will have to downgrade, root, s-off etc then flash a pre-rooted stock rom...or any rom for that matter. I am running completely stock 2.3.4 pre rooted and it runs great! Also as far as i know you do not need to move from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 you can go straight to 2.3.4. Also As far as i understand it t-mo messed up and labeled the update as 2.3.3 but it was really 2.3.4 once applied.

uninstall visionary, follow wiki to root, s-off, supercid (sim unlock) install clockworkrecovery and eng hboot. sounds like alot but gfree does it all in one shot. then your free to flash any pre rooted ota, or cm7, whatever you choose. and you wont brick your device...
hope this helped.

Only use visionary for temp root!! Use the no adb in the sticky it worked great on my 2.2 ota. It really was painless I did it att work! Lol just pay attention to the spaces in terminal emulator.

Sorry but this is bad advice. You shouldn't be using visionary for temp root either. It is unnecessary.
Well I'm just stating what I did. I just followed the sticky thread and out went without a hitch. Figured that it was there because it was a trusted method. Oh well, sorry it worked for me lol.

I agree that if you do use Visionary, it should only be used for temp and not perm root, but there are plenty of ways to root without visionary, and there's no need to mess with it.
