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....

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 bought an Xperia Sola online recently, since the day i relieved it, i am trying to update it. I tried all methods possible and also the ones suggested by the Xperia care. When I checked online, it says my device should be running software version 6.1.1.B.*, i.e. ICS but by all methods tried, it says my device is up to date. Currently running gingerbread software version 6.0.B.3.814.
Please help. I do not want to root my device or run any custom ROM. I want to update to ICS Xperia.

Did you unlock your bootloader? Can't officially update with an unlocked bootloader.

Warranty maybe void only if you unlock bootloader or root.
So flashing ftf will not,I guess.
