How do you root the atrix without unlocking the bootloader, I was looking for a guide but don't see one.
If you are still on Froyo, you can use Gingerbreak...

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 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

Are there any devs who are working on an unlocking method for those who cannot use the official unlocking procedure?
Its impossible. To unlock the bootloader, you need the key from SONY. Every key is DIFFERENT.

Will using the towelroot and flashify flash recovery method work to unlock the bootloader and enable the ability to flash custom roms?
