Hi
I used this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195
Bootloader is unlocked, tablet is rooted. CWM installed, but I cant turn on recovery when I'm in bootloader. Author says that I should rename two files - done (both have "-old" in the end).
I can restart in recovery mode when I'm in Android and using RomManager.
What is wrong?

There's a known issue with the recovery option in the bootkoader.
To fix it, while in fast boot mode, attached your device to your computer and then select recovery. Otherwise just select from adb or an app.

Hi
This is an automated rooting to Xperia ARC / ARC S with unlocked bootloader. No flashing needed - so this does not wear your internal kernel flash memory.
It's a "connect and press enter" solution - no command typing.
You must have the ADB and Fastboot drivers installed and configured.
Compatibility
Tested: ICS .431 and .587
Must work: GB roms
How it works
It boots "in memory" an alternate kernel carefully crafted to root the system, and then rebooting into the original kernel of your phone.
It install the Superuser APK, su binary, and BusyBox.
Requirements
- ADB and Fastboot drivers installed and configured.
- Unlocked bootloader
- Settings - applications - Unknown Sources (first option) checked
- Settings - applications - development - USB Debugging checked
- Press the thanks button on this forum
Included
- BusyBox v1.18.4
- Superuser APK
- su binary
How to use
- Download the latest script version in the [Script downloads] section
- Decompress the 7z file to an empty folder
- Run the file runme.bat
- Connect your phone (powered on)
- Wait for the blue ligth (fastboot mode) on the notification LED
- Press ENTER to root
- Enjoy (and then press the thanks button on this forum )

FAQ
[Q] How to install ADB and Fastboot drivers on Windows?
[A] The most annoying process is to install and configure the ADB and Fastboot drivers, but you can use the Flashtools bundle to install the drivers for you (search for Flashtools on the forum). Simply download the latest version of Flashtools, fire the installer and then choose to install ADB and Fastboot drivers. This way you will have installed the drivers.
Flashtools latest version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012
Later, to configure the drivers, you must let windows bind the driver to the device. To do this, you must:
- ADB driver: connect the phone, powered on, to the PC, and then let Windows configure the driver automatically
- Fastboot driver: connect the phone to the PC in Fastboot mode. To do this:
1) Switch off the phone
2) Press and hold the menu key
3) Connect the phone to the PC via USB cable
4) Way a few seconds for a blue ligth on the notification LED
5) Release the menu key
6) If you get the blue ligth you are now in Fastboot mode. Let Windows configure the driver automatically.
7) To leave Fastboot mode, disconnect the USB cable.
[Q] I cannot get the blue light during the script execution?
[A] Verify if you have correctly installed and configured ADB and Fastboot drivers. Maybe you still have a locked bootloader - if you wish to try to unlock your bootloader, see the tutorial / guide threads on the first page of the forum.
Noob here.
So what you are saying is all I need to do is download the mediafire file,the adb drivers and the fastboot drivers and then I am good to go.

Yes! And it's working flawlessly on my unlocked bootloader Xperia Arc, so I expect it to work for you too.

The idea is "no command typing" and "no extra downloads / file copying", so this is way easy (at least for me, a lazy dev).
You know now I am a bit scared.
Because after reading the FAQ on how to install adb and fastboot and the configuration part.
Anyway iam going ahead with this attempt.Wish me luck,I will need it.

Guess you are right, but I need to get into cwm anyway at first boot after a firmware flash (Aroma + mods) and I have a bat file executing my hotboot for me.

How hard is it to read requirements?
You need to have unlocked bootloader. That's what fastboot is calling root.
And fix your caps lock.
well looks like I cannot do this as my LED does not turn blue when connecting which means I cannot unlock my bootloader

Sorry to ask this but you are saying .42 rooted still can get "ota" update to .62 to retain root, is it still available to update, I thought their ota only for ics, no more .62?
Edit
I'm ota to .62 right now, thanks.

LED goes blue (fastboot mode) only WHEN you have an unlocked bootloader.
To see if you have an unlocked bootloader, try this:
1) Switch off your device
2) Press and hold the menu button
3) Connect the device to the PC via USB cable
4) Wait for the LED to turn blue (fastboot mode)
5) Release menu button
6) Disconnect to leave fastboot mode
If you get blue LED, you are in fastboot mode, and so you have an unlocked bootloader.
The device default setting is locked bootloader, so you must unlock the bootloader to get your bootloader unlocked - hoho. If you want to unlocked your bootlaoder, see the guide/tutorial stickies.

Hi everyone
First of all I'm in no way a DEV, all files and tools in this post is made by various DEV and a big thanks goes to all of them for there great work.
All I've done is combining them to get the desired end result. I take no responsibility for any damage that might happend by following this guide.
Prerequisite:
1. SGP321 with stock 10.5.A.0.230 Locked Bootloader(unlocking instruction here) or do it from Flashtool To relock Bootloader once done, repeat this step.
1. Download SuperSU flashable
2. Download and extract the boot.img from CM11
3. Installed fastboot (part of the Android SDK)
Steps:
1. Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip to SD card on the tablet.
2. Put the Tablet Z in fastboot mode (press and hold Vol+ when inserting USB cable)
3. Copy the boot.img to the same folder as the fastboot.exe
4. Open a console(Command prompt) where the fastboot.exe is located
Type.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
5. Keep pressing Vol+ for a few times it boots up
6. Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip from recovery
7. Power off the device
8. Put Tablet in Flash mode by holding volume down key while plugging in the usb cable.
9. Flash SGP321_10.5.A.0.230 R1D_Custom GENERIC.ftf via Flashtool
10. Boot up and you will have the SuperSU installed
Optional install recovery
Install Busybox
Connect Tablet to pc while powered on download the Recovery
Extract the content and run the install.bat .
Thanks for sharing!!
Nice! I can confirm that this works well even with SGP351. The best thing about this method is that it doesn't wipe anything, if you don't want to. Awesome find, OP!
Does this work without an SD card?

So in step 1 above, does the bootloader need to be unlocked? Or does this method work with locked bootloader? I'm sorry, the wording is a little awkward and I would like to know if I need to back up my TA keys prior to attempting this method.
Thanks

re install the adb drivers boot the phone into recovery , toolkit will detect your phone
Power off the phone, hold the vol+ and vol- button, press and hold the power button. This will take you into fastboot. Connect the USB cable and install the naked USB drivers.
