If I use ROM Manager, Do I need to unlock Bootloader manually before instaling cyanogenMOD in my Sony Ericsson Live with walkman?
I saw on videos they just click download rom and install it. Nothing else!
Whats the truth?
You need to unlock bootloader yourself first.

You have to first unlock your bootloader and then flash a Rom. Or you can obtain root, install CWM and then flash a Rom for locked bootloader without unlocking your bootloader.

I know that..
But I asked the question BECAUSE I don't want to unlock bootloader

Ok. So... no. No way.
No. But you can flash custom kernel such as rage or kamarush..
Then root it.

Hmmmm....the most easy way to root your phone (ICS) is to unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel....all custom kernel have pre-rooted and CWM....
if you want to go the harder way (refuse to unlock bootloader) then downgrade to GB, Root your phone then upgrade back to ICS....
some people use the easy way cause they can relock the bootloader if they WANT TO....
Yes they are . You can't root stock kernel . Or you can download boot extended stock kernel which is also pre rooted....

I stumbled across that page, and I wanted to know if it's legit? it seems much easier than testpointing my Xperia Active.
Yes that will work, but voids your warranty. That's the official Bootloader unlock method by Sony. You will lose DRM and you cannot use ota Updates and trackid...

Besides, you can only use that method if you have Bootloader unlock allowed: yes, if no, only testpoint method will work
