Xperia Arc S 4.0.2.a.0.62 Root

Hi,
"Xperia Arc S" 4.0.2.a.0.62 I installed the firmware to the phone.
How to root the phone?

There are no root solution for .62 at this moment..why might have to wait till some dev can find a way to do it..
Sent from my Xperia Arc S

you have to downgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.42 to root your arc s

I think you can use a prerooted kernel instead .
Correct me if I'm wrong .

yes correct with unlocked bootloader.
i was update to 4.0.2.A.0.62 OTA when i received ArcS, i was install many apk, now i can't full backup because i can't install CWM to backup, i want to unlock bootloader but my app and date will be wipe, many many app to reinstall!!!!!!
Any solution to root 4.0.2.A.0.62

Thank you to everyone.
I have the LT18 wotanserver by selecting Downgrade

Yes

Can I use with current TWRP and not full wipe?

I forget to flash RecRoot and got a brick
Going to flash with flashtool to a older version and try again...

Yes

[Q] Root without unlocking Bootloader

Hello Guys,
has anybody rooted the Xperia X Compact without unlocking the Bootloader?
I had the Xperia Z3 Compact before and there were very good Guides to have root with a locked Bootloader.
So has anybody tested a Way to use root with a locked BL?
Or is someone working on that Thing? (Best if it works for Android 7 Nougat)
The Sony Firmware Version 34.2.A.0.292 or 34.2.A.0.266.
Thanks,

If it would be possible, you would have it published already here. I don't even thing anybody is working on that. Unless someone finds a way to hack bootloader itself or dm-verity. If this essential thing is not done on Nexus with much bigger development base, it has no sense trying that on Sony.
Xperia X family has technically different firmware. The Z3 family did not use dm-verity and remains the last phone from Sony, that could have rooted system on locked bootloader.

This should help. - Create your own FTF firmware files using XperiFirm and FlashTool

OKAY SOMEHOW I used old flashtools and it creted ftf but its missing loader.sin
and flashtool gives me error as loard.sin not found and the process is aborted, any suggestions

@Androxyde ANy help will be appreciated, I wanted to debrand my x compact, I am using latest .23 of flashtools, i created ftf, but it giving me error that loader.sin is not found

At what point does this happen?

Okay got it sorted, it appears all the problem was there because i was using 9.23.1 and not 9.23.2, Used inbuilt fsc script, and moved it in my devices

Use latest release

Upgrade stock 34.3.A.0.252 to Oreo or downgrade it to root

Hi guys,
I just received my xperia X compact and i would like to root it, I saw one thread explaining how to root it from Oreo (https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/stock-8-0-root-recovery-t3747479) but unfortunately my phone CDA is 1305-2001 (Generic LAM) and the Oreo upgrade is not available i'm stuck in 34.3.A.0.252 (checked on XperiFirm and software upgrade)
What's the best way to root my phone ?
I was wondering if i can directly flash the Oreo firmware (https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/android-8-0-0-oreo-released-xperia-x-t3745129) then root it ? Would it work ? (I don't have TA backup)
Or maybe use this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/guide-root-custom-kernel-clean-rom-ta-x-t3583183) to downgrade my phone (again shall i just flash an old firmware from stock ?) and made a TA backup ?
Thanks a lot !

you can pretty much take your pick. If it was me, I would flash an ftf from Flashtool of latest version, (even if not the region you want), then root with rootkernel method. Having a different region fw shouldn't affect anything.
