Eeeh, what is this stuff all about? Mini Pro and kernel, both seems to be in the wrong section but forgive me for my ignorance?
I want Root of my Arc and running .368 with xLoud and stuff on a locked bootloader.

dude this is NOT UR FORUM OR MY FORUM...
this is XDA...
also regarding creating seperate device sub-forums i have contacted the forum mods...
i dont know if u are aware of this or no but Sony Ericsson has released around 6-7 Android handsets this year... which essentially are based on the same Qualcomm MSM8255 (7x30) chipset... i have even checked the open source contribution by Sony ericsson and all the devices share the SAME kernel sources...
ok as u must have realized that since all these devices are VERY similar (internally) it doesnt make much sense to creat seperate device sub-forums for each device...
instead here is wht i suggest:
currently there are two device sub-forums:
xperia arc: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=962
xperia play: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1090
i personally feel is that all the Xperia 2011 devices can be clubbed under a single sub forum (say "Xperia 2011 Devices") and then make sub-sub forums for each device... OR just keep the 5 basic sub-sections (Dev/General/themes/Q&A/Accessories) and then everyone should tag the threads properly with device ID... e.g.: say if u want to start a Arc related thread then just start the thread title with [ARC]...
cause if u see most of the things are common for Arc/Play/Neo/Mini/Mini Pro/Ray

[ How To ]
*FOLLOW THE STEPS PRECISELY ELSE U WILL GET STUCK*
download the ftf bundle & compressed recovery image from linnks below
extract the contents of the recovery image to a folder on desktop
u will get a folder with 4 files as shown below:
connect device to PC and mount sdcard
copy that extrated folder to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/
so final path to folder & files should look like:
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/cache.img
/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/data.img

/sdcard/xrecovery/backup/prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec/system.img
once copying is finished unmount sdcard and disconnect cable
reboot into recovery and restore this backup
AFTER RESTORE IS DONE DO NOT REBOOT
directly remove battery and wait for few minutes (since we dont have power off in recovery this is crude way to do it)
now start flashtool and connect X10 in flash mode and flash the ftf bundle provided below
after flashing is complete just restart device and enjoy prerooted X10 SE 2.3.3 GB!!!

if u get adb push errors to /system then anantshri has a solution: check here

Just download the latest flashtool, connect your phone and press root , after that your phone will restart then ask root perms from flashtool again and install xrecovery through flashtool again.
Thats all good luck

[ Troubleshooting ]
if u are completely new to flashtool OR have never used it before PLEASE READ THIS: [FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies
sometimes when flashing SEUS/PCC might interfere with flashtool which will lead to flashtool not able to recognize X10... if u have this problem then exit ALL OTHER running apps like SEUS/PCC antivirus/etc... only then Flashtool will work correctly...
many users have reported that it is best to first install latest SEUS and then use flashtool... this will help Windows get the latest drivers for X10 from SEUS...
you rock fella!!
So here is the rooted stock rom, but could i perhaps remove some apps, add some basic data and install apps, then re-package it as one ftf, so i also have the "basics" already done (junk removed, signed into goo/wifi etc) ?? i only ask because it seems maybe possible in theory to me ???!!

This is not a rom/firmware, that's why one of the requirements of using this is to have the stock 2.3.3 firmware.
In fact, this is the 'advanced' stock kernel which includes root access and xRecovery access.

Yeah right, the only changes done in the different Firmwares are some other features/apps and this things but Network is same in all.

Baseband and firmware i guess. Or maybe i am wrong. But On my experience ive tried using other fw and my signal was low, change back to fw of my country and viola got a full bar on my network. ( tested on the same spot ). Or maybe just a lucky glitch.

Click to expand...

no...
there will be no change in performance from the kernel side... u can ofcourse use "init.d scripts" to tweak the ROM but thats not directly kernel related, though this kernel will allow u to auto-run such scripts at startup...
also with this kernel u will be able to root ANY future firmware (GB atleast) as this kernel has the necessary codes to auto-root... so u wont need to hunt for pre-rooted system images which are huge (350MB+)
one of the users ROG_ZX has tested it on his phone and its working fine!
so users can now safely flash this kernel to auto-root their system!
Thanks for you work :-D

I had the same problem, I did't get the chance to install the driver. What I did was to go into fastboot before windows loads, I did it in bios setup to be sure, then boot to windows. Now it wil stay in fastboot and you can install the driver. Once the driver is installed you can enable fastboot at any time in Windows.
Does someone has the stock kernel ?
thanks for all guys help.
I have two question
1.today i see the official update, and want to use pc companion to update.But it show the phone setting got some error.maybe it is because I root the boot loader??
2.
cause my phone got some hardware problem.So i need to give it back to sony.
And I want to restore to factory setting. is is possible to relock and no-root???
Just relock your phone, you can find the info here in the dev thread with the stickies

Thanks, I managed to compile successfully, but couldn't boot the image stuck in fastboot mode and when flashing it, got stuck on the sony logo :/
@husam666 Mine passes the Sony logo, but after that... Screen is black but vibration, usb mass storage, adb, and maybe more is still working. Looks like sony isnt yet done with our kernel, is here anyone with kernel experiences? I really need some help, I am good in device tree's but not in kernels... Btw, my device tree completely works! I compiled with success, i tried booting with stock kernel: resulted on Sony boot logo loop... My own kernel: resulted in black screen after sony logo, but as I can see using adb: it boots successful, vibration also works. When i click the power button for 2 secs.
So the screen is the only bug i know so far.
Anyone, please contact me if u think that u can help with the kernel
Kind regards,

If it boots that's really good news, I don't know anything about kernels, sorry. Anyway twrp has an adb command line interface, which means we don't need the screen in order to flash zips, atm I'm only interested in flashing supersu in order to root the phone.
So can you upload the kernel, please zImage and DTBs?
