Good eve guys the thread is all about upgrade live walkman to ICS 4.0.4 and root it
1st:
ics+notification.jpg

In this post i want to show you how to upgrade live with walkman (wt19i) firmware to newest android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431) via offline update method. This june, live with walkwan receive an update for renewing the firmware to ICS via PC Companion (OTA). But some users reported negative issues after upgrading their phone via pc companion (e.g:lag, not smooth, face unlock setting not appear, etc).

You can resolve those problem (e.g: lag, face unlock dissappear, etc) with flash the firmware/update the firmware via offline method. I have tested this new ICS for a week. I feel this new firmware is very smooth, even more smoother than gingerbread stockrom. thanks for SONY for optimizing this rom.

For offline flashing you will need:

n some case this tool doesn't work on win 7(or other version). So? open the "device manager" on win 7. look at "SEMC HSUSB DEVICE" if there is (!) mark, its mean your device not detected properly. just right click the "SEMC HSUSB DEVICE" -->update driver software-->search automatically for updated driver software. win 7 will automatically search the driver it self (internet connection needed).

UPDATE!!! easy rooting toolkit v2

Below is the tutorial:
how to overclock live with walkman (wt19i) with rage kernel
tutorial how to overclock live with walkman (wt19i) using RAGE kernel (custom kernel).

Requirements:

Unlocked bootloader = you can unlock officially or using test point method (i recommend unlock with test point method)

Tutorial:how to unlock live with walkman (wt19i) bootloader with test point method
if you want to install mod kernel or another custom rom that need unlocked boot loader. there is easy way to unlock live with walkman (wt19i) bootloader. actually sony ericsson provide official unlock bootloader, just register your imei and you will get the unlock code. But, in official way you will lose some features like DRM and track id.

Why test point? the main reason for using test point method is you will not lose DRM and track id features.
First important step: Use the 0.58 firmware on rooted condition!!! if you on 0.62 downgrade it!
now check your phone: open dial pad, press ##7378423##
tap sevice info > configuration. see rooting status if: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes. you can continue next step.

You will need:
  • cable +/- 5 cm - 8 cm long.
  • pin/needle
  • S1Tool software You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.

make wire as shown below
testpoint+1.jpg

the live with walkman test point
testpoint+2.png
the pin/needle to red dot, the other end to negative battery (red circle)

  • now extract downloaded S1Tool.
  • attach test point, then connect your phone with usb cable.
  • windows will ask you for update the driver, browse the driver from S1Tool folder.

testpoint+3.jpg

install this driver software anyway

testpoint+4.jpg

NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP!!!!! WATCH YOUR STEP!! WRONG ATTACHED TEST POINT CAN BROKE YOUR PHONE!!

- run s1tool.exe
testpoint+5.png

click ρá†ch SEMCboot, then test point ready

"DETACH USB CABLE FROM PHONE

REMOVE BATTERY FROM PHONE

ATTACH TESTPOINT

PRESS "READY", THEN ATTACH USB CABLE to phone"

will appear:"PROCESSING …

REMOVE TESTPOINT NOW, THEN PRESS "READY"

- if successful will appear log like this:

running s1_loader ver "r4a062"
loader aid: 0001
flash id: "00Ec/0083"
loader version: "r4a069"


semc simlock certificate, proceeding
finished
elapsed:155 secs.

"SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, PROCEEDING

FINISHED"

testpoint+6.png

the "r" lower case on "r4a069" means unlock was successful.

NB: rooting status still written "bootloader unlock allowed: Yes "

do it with your own risk!!

click rebot into fastboot mode (via ADB)
step+4+oc.jpg
step+5+oc.jpg

you can use app like "setCPU" for setting CPU Speed. If you are lucky, you can set the cpu speed up to 2.0 GHz.
