I've noticed the threads over at XDA confirming that the Arc can now be rooted, but reading through the methods, it seems to indicate that you can only do it after SE have unlocked your bootloader for you? Did i read this right?

If not i'll have to keep waiting as mine isn't carrier unlocked so i cant unlock the bootloader via the SE website

Has anyone tried out the gingerbreak apk yet to achieve root?

Edit: The Gingerbreak APK does indeed work, i now have superuser on my Arc Bloatware be gone and now i can finally get titanium backup back on there and restore me some angry birds!

Anyone on the latest firmware which is .62 cant root.. when I got my arc S I was at the newest firmware, I had to downgrade to .42 using flash tool then root (I used Super Oneclick 2.2) then I upgrade back to .62 via pc companion and all is fine...

where are all the comments here... I would hate to think there's only 3 people (including myself), on this forum with SE Arcs.

Iam also wondering the same after becoming a member on this site.Do only very few people use the arcs?Mine is a 2011 model.I believe one of the main problems with this particular model is the phone memory.I had to do away with many apps which I liked just to free up the memory.One other option is to root the device but iam considered as a noob and a dummy on xda forum.There are people who try to help but do not give proper guidance.If there is anyone here who can help I will be grateful.
