Umm.. No. Development threads are a bad place to ask questions actually.
I don't mean to put you down or anything, but I'm just saying, Q&A is where this thread belongs.

Suppose this is for unlocked bootloader only?

Yeah.. no way to root without having an unlocked bootloader for the time being
this ain't working.. no superuser; no root!
The binaries are present, download the Super user app, if you have wiped while flashing the ftf file.

Sorry but my Xperia Arc won't boot after flashing this.
So I flashed the stock ROM with Flashtool, and I applied root later via recovery.

IF YOU EXPLAIN HOW TO "DO IT RIGHT" IN THE OP THEN PERHAPS PEOPLE WONT POST SUCH THINGS IN YOUR THREAD.
The first post does not explain the issue of the "missing" superuser which may confuse some people.
Please update the op to include detailed instructions.
Please also refrain from posting requests in the Dev section and then creating a new thread for the files once you have them.

It's not my problem at all.....
If he's going to post files then he has to at least make sure people are aware of the issues they may experience when attempting to use them.
MY problem is keeping these forums tidy and organised....
The reason for my post is that even once the issue was raised the OP made no attempt to enlighten anyone as to why or help them. That is not what XDA is about.

If you look in v android development there is an unsecure kernel, but this is for older firmware, maybe it works
Edit: you must unlock bootloader for custom kernel, i do not think bin4ry method works for newer firmwares

Hi funiewski,
I have tried rooting by flashing that kernel but I don't seems to get root when I check with the root checker app. Would you be able to advise on this? I would have posted in that thread but apparently I don't have enough post count.

There may be a way to root without unlocked bootloader
Try this well-known way of rooting Xperia AX in Japan.
I guess it's also possible for V to root.
1. Here is a Xperia VL's old rom and you can flash this kernel.sin and system.sin with V's loader.sin.
I can't post the link, but you can find it in uploaded.net. The ID is 3gvvv3w6.
2. Then, Root.
3. Create /data/local.prop (ro.kernel.qemu=1).
4. Flash V's system.sin without wiping.
5. Replace ric, install Busybox and Superuser.
6. Flash V's kernel.sin without wiping.
7. Do Factory data reset to easily delete unnecessary apps.

after downgrade you can also use CWM to flashing anything you like. Flashing XperimenT 1.7.1 is the best way after you root your device.

Btw, do you know how to flash the kernel by fastboot?
I have a C6603, so I don't know if the method is the same, but it should be.
To flash the boot.img, put the boot.img in the same directory as fastboot, then use -
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then
fastboot reboot
Of course, only use a kernel that is compatible with your device

[Q] Kitkat Stock ROM

Hey guys quick question, i am currently living with my long suffering firmware that is jellybean...the phones needing a good clean out and update!
So i was wondering if there is a UK regional FTF for the latest kit kat?
BUT ALSO! i have seen generic ES (Spain) Regional FTFs for Kit Kat and i will be moving to Spain in September.. so should i just go a head and flash that? i don't know the difference between ES & UK (not that i have managed to find a UK version, maybe someone could point me in the right direction)
Also are these FTFs available for rooting? my phone is currently rooted with CWM and will most likely want to re-root after i have flashed with flashtools..
sorry to ask such nooby questions
Thanks

I had rooted using the old school method because towelroot was not availabe then
Towelroot will work to root and its the easiest way at the moment.
After rooting just download and install SuperSU from play store.
After flashing firmware Bootloader wont be locked again
Kernel and Root are two different things
You will have to flash recovery again though as flashing firmware will remove the recovery
You can get the recovery from here
Dont follow root instructions from the link as you will be rooted after using towelroot

sorry to be a pain again! having trouble getting CWM and doomlord kernal+root (sorry i just enjoy doomlords kernels) i hav installed ADB driver etc and it DOES boot into fastboot... when i type in "fastboot boot boot.img" it says its complete then you hear the sound of the device ejecting..... but the blue light stays solid... so i have to volume up+power to reboot and CWM isnt installed..... any ideas?
