Hello friends,
I'm new to this forum and also to Android phones just have a rough idea about it. Now I've just bought a new SE LWW and upgraded to Android 4.0.4 from 2.3.4 using Sony PC Companion. But when I opened bluetooth tab for the first and tried to change the Device name I was unable because I was not able to see any tab of "Change Device Name" (I've turned ON Bluetooth), so anyone can please explain me how can I change Bluetooth Device name?
And also What are the benefits of Rooting? Should I root my phone (I've fear of Bricking)? If yes how should I root my SE LWW Android-4.0.4? Also can I unroot my phone back? How? Also please give every detail in brief! Hope so the members will help me to the extent.
Thanks,
Charizard.
Somebody please help me!:crying::crying:
Try asking Google?? Or look around forums maybe even ask somone who is in the Sony forums they more likely to know

Don't try to root if warranty matters to you. Also remember that a failed rooting effort can brick your device. Rooting benefits are:
Installing root specific apps
Installing clockwork recovery mod
Changing OS and ROM of your device.

I have lww too my friend.
For rename Bluetooth in 4.0.4 you have to go to settings and Bluetooth and touch menu ( that's a touchable button near home button in down of you phone ) and now you can see : Rename my Device ! Enjoy !
.......
But about rooting.
You must downgrade ( by flashtools ) your phone to 2.3 and root it and now again upgrade to 4.0.4 and now you can root this phone.
You can root your phone by flashtools.
Download it ( flashtools )
You can install custom rom by it....
And do very things! And enjoy...

Thanks a lot saeed74 but i think I should not root!!!
That very not true..
U will void a warranty on a sony by unlocking the bootloader..as u got to do it officially and they have the info in their server. Rooting however, would not as they won't know if u ever did it. Just flash it with stock rom before sending it.
2011 Xperia has some limitations than can only be solve by root.
1)link2sd to solve the low internet memory
2)swap, to maybe help with the low ram
3)uninstalling bloatware
4) install 2012 Xperias apps like walkman
Xtra reason
1) stop seeing advertisement
2) use vpn to safe some data quota
3)

Hi all! I'm a considerable new comer to the world of Android. I bought my Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman in April this year and I have been running Gingerbread 2.3.4 build .62. I rooted it by following the steps listed out here.
Now that ICS is out I would like to give it a go. However the Update Center app on my phone says that I have the latest software and even PC Companion and SUS says the same thing (although sony says the update has been rolled out for my device's SI number). Anyways I found the ROM (ftf File) online and thought I'd do it manually via Flashtool.
On looking for a way to root it I found a tutorial by tracer123 where the polish blood project kernel has to be flashed. While trying to find out more about this kernel I learned that WiFi tether is not working and this feature is pretty important to me; the other features that don't work aren't quite as important and I don't mind not having them.
So my question is, is there another way to root android 4.0.4 on my LwW?
P.S. - I did find a tutorial similar to tracer123's (where the it's downgraded to a previous version, rooted and then uploaded) in the Sony support forum but since 4.0.4 is the first version of ICS to roll out to LwW I was stuck once more
have you try this method?

hello xda,
First, congratulations for a great work that you are doing here.
I am a newbie in android, and my son bought my wife a Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, OS GingerBread fortunately upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich is available, so I upgraded it.
My question is, is it possible to root this phone without flashing?
The reason I'm asking this is because I cannot play music from external sd card, only the default music and she don't like the list.
I have transferred more than 150 song to it but cannot play it.
I have downloaded some folder app but i can only play music one at a time.
I have read somewhere here that i need to root in order to be able to play music and not the default one.
Can someone please help or guide me to this problem, or maybe anybody can recommend some apps that I can download so I don't have to root?
Thanks in advance.

Ok i f ur problem is that the phone lags and hangs then u just make facrory reset
if that doesn't work then u can use this software
http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html
download,install and run unlockroot.exe then select root unlocker>press root>a dialog box with all connected devices appears select ur device from it follow on screen instructions and flash any custom rom available for your device
Hi
For rooting with DoomLord's method you need to flash the kernel to the previous version (.567) then apply his method, then flash .587 kernel
Search the forum to find the appropriate kernel files
For Flashtool check here
And finally, once you have done it, get xParts from the Play Stores and install CWM
First it will let you know if your device is rooted or not and CWM is always useful
Hope it helps.

anyone...?
Basiclly your out of luck here, Almost no China based devices are here. So your better off looking on some china sites.
I've got thl w8.
I bought this because it has custom roms here on xda.
You should wait for someone to work on your device...

plse help me with the steps of how do i carry out this entire process untill i get cynogenmod 10 installed..
Try this Software!
If u r on any stock ROM try this software Eroot 1.3.4 (Google it and you will get dev hosted download link )
Connect your cell with MSC and Debugging ON and press root button. Your cell will be rooted in few minutes.
If you are not on stock ROM , then mostly all custom ROMs are pre-rooted . Even if they aren't search superuser.zip and flash via CWM your cell will be rooted in no time
If my solution was helpful, feel free to press Thanks button :fingers-crossed:
