Hotboot or flash any custom kernel, go to CWM recovery and flash superuser.zip.
Why messing with root toolkits when you have unlocked bl. Make your life easier.
pls, can iI ask . question. what . is the benefit of super stock? can iuse it on suave kernel on pureness rom. thanks.
Use kernel for recommended kernel by developer...maybe you can try super stock kernel yourself.

Hi there
The last time sony released the .62 rom when everyone had no root because they have waited that someone builds a custom kernel i thought about rooting my phone but staying on stock .62 kernel.
It is really simple to do that, the only things you need is:
1.A phone with unlocked bootloader
2.Flashtool package of the software you want to root (because of the kernel.sin inside)
3.Any custom kernel with cwm
4.su zip (in atachments)
The first step is that you flash the build version that you want like sony releases a new one then flash it.
second is that you open the ftf file from the software you flashed with 7zip and extract the kernel.sin.
The next step is that you flash a custom firmware of any previous build like the .42 or so or even the cm7 kernel.
You can do this with flashtool or with fastboot.
After you done that boot into recovery go to mounts and storage and mount the sd-card. copy the su.zip to sdcard and unmount the sdcard.
then go back and go to install zip from sdcard.
select the su zip and install it.
power off the device after this is finished.
open flashtool and plug your device into fastboot mode and flash the stock kernel.sin.
after this boot up your device and now you got the newest firmware from sony with root and you don't need to wait for a dev to write a custom kernel
after it booted up you may need to update the superuser binary and the app and install busybox with an busybox installer from the market.
Have fun ^^
If this was usefull for you press the thanks button
Thanks. It works on my wt19i (live with walkman)
how can I make the bootloader?
if i do this, will it reset my system data and phone memory/factory reset???
No it won't reset your data as long as you don't klick on it in recovery :-D
Just stricktly follow the tutorial and you won't have problems

suave kernel have cwm included.For root,flash via cwm Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 First flash the kernel,because you need cwm for flashing Superuser.

Ahh, CWM is included.
Okay, then I think the next steps are:
- Start Neo in Fastmode (right butten pressed than poweron, the LED should light blue)
- rename suave-kernel-v5-exp-neo.img to boot.img
- Open Commandline on PC and run "fastmode boot boot.img"
- reboot phone to CWM and install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from SDCard
- reboot phone check root
- reboot phone to CWM, wipe and install JJHybrid_ROM_3.1_Stable_CompleteAOSP_NEO.zip
- reboot and all done.
Is this right? Or can I install the Kernel with fastmode and then reboot to CWM to install directly the new ROM without Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip.
First flash the rom,then flash Superuser.Btw,i'm not using command prompts,i'm using flashtool,it's much easy to work with,and don't neet to rename the kernel.You can get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351317
I will try flashtool. I downloaded already, but dont used it so far. I will post my result when I flashed the kernel and the ROM.
can anyone make a tutorial about how to install cwm with SE Extreme Tweak Installer v1.8
it says suerimission denied
On which firmware are you? 4.0.2.A.0.62?
Is your device rooted? Because permission denied meens, that you have no root.
If you want to install clockworkmod on lww, check this out. It will automaticly install cwm, but I don't know if it works on locked bootloader...
For SE Tweak installer you could check this out. It's a tutorial
how to root it then?
On which firmware version are you? 4.0.2.A.0.62?
Check out this here
But go to settings -> about phone -> build number and tell which version please!
Simplest Guide to install cmw !
As is usual with most updates, the Sony Ericsson Walkman Live lost root access after its recent update to Android 4.0.4. The guide below will show you how to obtain root access on this device running the 4.1.B.0.431 version of the OS and install ClockworkMod Recovery, enabling you to flash custom ROMs and do other things that require root access.
I. Before You Begin
1. This will not erase any data from your device, but as a precaution, do a backup of what you feel is important just in case.
2. This solution works by flashing a modified kernel that will provide root access. If you are not okay with this, do not proceed any further.
3. You will need a device with an unlocked bootloader for the procedure to work.
{ 4. If you want to install custom rom then download the custom rom and extract it. then there would a boot.img and replace it with the below bootextended blah blah.img } not understood? obviously... read full and then come back to this step.
II. Necessary Downloads
1. boot_EXtendedStockKernel_WT19i.img.
2. Fastboot Files
III. Flashing the Modified Kernel
1. Extract the fastboot-win32.zip file you downloaded above to a folder in your C:\ drive. You should end up with a folder named C:\fastboot-win32 containing fastboot.exe. Rename folder to fastboot for ease.
2. Copy the boot_EXtendedStockKernel_WT19i.img file you downloaded above to the same folder. Rename the file as boot.img for ease
3. Power down your device and put it into Fastboot Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Up + Power buttons until it enters the Fastboot mode. Blue led will glow.
3. Open up a Command Prompt window. To do this on your Windows 7 PC, click on the Windows Start button, type cmd in the search box and hit enter.
4. Run the following commands: (Get into . fastboot directory first ):- It should look as this
c:\fastboot\ fastboot flash boot.img
That’s it! You should have a rooted device after a reboot!
pls hit thanks if i helped.!

But that's for unlocked bootloader only! With the method I posted, you can root without unlocking the bootloader...
@OP Please tell us which build number you have! You must go to settings -> About phone -> Build number and tell us the number (or at least the 3 or 2 last numbers). If .42, .58, .62, .69, .432, .578! Otherwise we can't help you
First off, greetings to all. Not trying to hijack the thread but I have a quasi-related question.
Have a LWW WT19i, with Android 4.1.B.0.431 rooted as per the instructions here, with a locked bootloader (unlock allowed: no). I want to install Real ICS r5.2 which states it works with a locked BL, however the instructions ask me to use CWM which I can find no clear tutorial on how to install (most guides suggest installing new kernel).
Any help would be appreciated. Also fini13, if you're as new to this as I am, the guide I listed should help you at least with the rooting.

When your phone is rooted, you sould install cwm with the Extreme Tweak installer. But make sure you select your phone, otherwise it could brick.

I can restore RootMe but after rebbot command line just says that it doesn't have permission to mount.

RootMe doesn't even exist. Used both special- xperia mode and normal new. Nothing, no popup no backup but phone reboots.
Any help ?
IMHO easiest method for rooting is flashing prerooted kernel.
1. download fastboot
2. find some prerooted kernel in sola development thread and put it into fastboot folder
3. flash kernel
phone should be rooted, many prerooted kernels come with cwm recovery so you don't need to install it separately
Hi guys,
As said by lwd8cmd, flash a kernel custom, they are pre rooted (need bootloader unlocked).
It takes 10 seconds to download and flash.
But if your bootloader is locked you need to :
-flash .10 stck kernel
-root
-reflash .54 stock kernel
When your bootloader is unlocked, the life is more simple

Please do like anybody, follow the tuto on xda.
You need to know that you can't APPLY the root script when you run .54 kernel, so:
-flash .10 stck kernel with flashtool
-reboot and root
-flash .54 stock kernel with flashtool and the root stay

I feel that unlocking bootloader by official method is good enough and yeah nothing would happen if you unlock your bootloader... you'd just loose your warranty however you can re-lock it back and its 100% safe to unlock and relock bootloaders :good: :angel:
for the CWM what you can do is just download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&hl=en and install it (if you are willing to stay in locked bootloader or to have cwm in stock kernel)
if you are willing to unlock your bootloader then just flash a custom kernel and you'd automatically have CWM pre-installed with the kernel
just try searching in google for the latest busybox so that you'd face any conflicts in future
Partitioning SDcard is a bit risky i think.. it'll reduce the SDcard's life...
Regards
Aneel
Install Busybox! it is important for a rooted phone
Lock Bootloader is limited. because some Mods, Kernel, Custom ROMS, requires Unlock BL
best way of Unlocking BL is. (SE Bootloader Unlocking Tool by quangnhut123)
though I still requested for the unlock code here Official SE Code Request because the Unlocking Tool by quangnhut123 doesn't give my code automatically when I put my IMEI
Partitioning SD card. if you wanted to have a partition because you will use Link2Sd, don't. nothing happens there's still some (MB)
left in the internal storage even I created a link, move the Apps to SD card.
Hope I helped!
Mate dont partition your SD card i lost my 16GB SD card due to it :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

If you are unlocking your bootloader the official way like i did ,
U just need to enter your email address and they will provide with you the code in less than a minute.. :good: (fast huhh.)
And read the instruction carefully
in the instruction they will tell you to download a file(software) Named Android SDK (actually its android development kit) , which a huge file more than 400 mb+
Instead you can use this file only 11 mb https://www.dropbox.com/s/a3hph73m9vqz6x1/fastboot with Android USB.zip :laugh:
instruction about the file :-
1. Download and extract the file to C DRIVE (important in c drive not in others).
2. open the fastboot folder in the file and select the operating system which you are using (If you are on win 8 open cmd 7)
switch off your phone and get into fastboot mode by pressing the volume up key while connecting your phone to the PC
You phone LED will glow up Blue
3. Then type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version and if you get a response `0.3` or `0.5` you are going well.
4. Now type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY in which KEY (at last) is the unlock key which you will get from the sony.
5. Press enter you are done.
6. Now flash the custom kernel and you will get CWM recovery installed in your phone :good:

If you download the "Busybox installer" from the playstore and installed it. That should be fine. I got no logo too.
Generally, all customer Rom requires a full wipe.
