It's the international version, it is possible to unlock. Please read all the noob threads or you risk breaking your phone. If it's already using a gingerbread firmware, be sure you use a gingerbread pudding or you will brick your phone.

Does anyone know the easiest way to root (no downgrade, etc.) for WT19i with android ics 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)?

Either unlock bootloader and install custom kernel or downgrade.

How this works?
With downgrading
Sent from Bregenz, Austria
You must first have your bootloader unlocked. Search the forum for ways on how to, there are (2) current methods being used to. When your bootloader is unlocked, download either expeacer's extended kernel or krsh v 3.0( check my sig ) and install it via fastboot mode. By following this you accomplish the ff: root your phone, install cwm and busybox. Btw, someguyfromhell has made a tut for this. Check it out.

No, so far there is no known way to root ICS 4.0.4. Downgrading is the only way if you want to keep your bootloader locked.
this is my problem too, i dont want to unlocked my BL, i just want to root it.

how bootloader can be unlocked of wt19i ics build 4.1.B.0.431 ?
Bootloader unlock voids warranty! But Check out at
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Better to root is downgrading! You can unroot and keep your warranty...
Second method for Bootloader unlocking is testpoint method, just search in General section.

Hi, i have a japanese phone, ISW11M (AU KDDI) which is locked apparently. I have already sim-unlocked it using some paid service. However, I planning to unlock the bootloader to install some rooted custom ROM..
So my question is, do isw11m(Au kddi) model is supported by photon_torpedo root method? Or do i need to use other method to install custom rom in this phone? Please enlighten me or give me a direction on how to solve this.
Yes, you can install custom ROM on ISW11M. I've already installed CM7 on my ISW11M (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910837). Do step-by-step --> ROOT --> UNLOCK BOOTLOADER --> CMW --> Install ROM.
But there is one thing you must know, if you break your phone, you can't returm to stock ROM because there is no stock ROM for ISW11M.
Please read carefully all step before you begin. I think when you're on CM7 you won't want to return stock.

Take a screen of your phone's About information. My phone is also 4.5.1 too.

You don't need to go to an external website- I found the BL unlock instructions in the development subforum for this device and it worked perfectly. Although it slightly worries me that there's no stock ROM for this device- mine is starting to have problems.
That's right!

Hello guys,
I tried to unlock my bootloader a few weeks ago and it was horrible, so i sent it to service and they sent me a brand new phone. But i want to unlock bootloader and i don't know what files use excatly on this model. Can you help me?
Sys. info : ver.: 45.31.20.MB860.Vodafone.en.EU
Android stock 2.3.4
build num.: 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20
root: yes
unlocked bootloader: no
What exactly is so confusing here?
Clearly you need to use the ihop version. The rest of the process is the same for every Atrix out there.

Guide
IHOP bootloader
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't always work (depends on the device and some other things), but I can't imagine a situation where a failed unlock would require taking the phone to the service center...
Ok, i'll try it tomorrow thanks....but when it fails ? ...last time it said me "failed to boot 2" ...
Did you actually read the whole procedure? Because it doesn't seem like you did.
Yes, I did....then i tried to search far on the google and i found that i am not alone with thi problem. Many people is saying, that is unable to unlock this bootloader...:/
http://mobility.forumsee.com/a/m/s/p12-9847-0229151--atrix-bootloader-unable-unlock.html
"Failed to boot" is a perfectly normal and expected part of the unlock process and everyone gets it. All you have to do is boot into fastboot mode and flash a custom recovery, then use that to flash a ROM. I don't know why you went to Google, literally all you need is here on XDA.
I used this guide to unlock 4 Atrix boot-loader so far including my own http://atrix4ghacks.com/atrix-4g-hacks/how-to-unlock-bootloader-and-install-permanent-recovery/
Ok, I will try it now ....
EDIT: it still gives me that OEM unlock is not implemented...
Either you didn't flash the IHOP SBF correctly, or you have one of those newer Atrixes that cannot be unlocked.

Yup, after 2012 I think, atrixes' bootloaders can't be unlocked
And, is there any chance, that I can unlock it, or in some service?

The only thing you can do is join the crowd of people who have the same problem which has yet to be solved. There is nothing you can do right now to unlock your device.
I know that pain.. I am an Atrix owner too, who owns a newer one..
I don't think that we will see them unlocked, because a lot of devs already moved on and there are now just a few Atrix owners..

Hi there,
I've successfully rooted with kingroot.
Can I just unlock BL with the guide on XDA, install twrp and flash firenexus or CM? or are there things I need to lookout for?
I'm not very familiar with amazon tablets.
Thanks in advance!!

Just follow the guide. Once unlocked only flash custom ROMs specifically built for this device (never stock). Be sure to consult ROM OP for flashing guidance.

Hi there,
I've used the tutorial to create the unlock code but when I try to flash I get FAILED (remote: Unlock code is NOT correct)
I've created the unlock file a few times but still no luck. Any idea what the issue could be? Or any solutions?
Thanks!!
EDIT: My bad, failed to look at step 2. Bootloader is finally unlocked!!

Allright.
A Phone always comes with a locked bootloader so if you don't unlocked it yourself it is still locked.
To flash twrp you will need a unlocked bootloader and to unlock a bootloader you need rootacess.
I used the app rlashr to flash twrp and boot in recovery. Don't forget to type 'su' in a terminal before you use it (at the guide how to unlock a bootloader)
This guide tells you how to do everything:
(Follow these steps: root -> bootloader-> recovery(twrp))
