[Q] How to root Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman running Android 4.0.4?

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?

[Q] How to Root Sony ericsson Xperia Neo with Android Version 4.0.4

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:

it looks like your tablet has a locked bootloader so its a little hard to get a custom rom for it. i heard sony cancelled the jelly bean update for it.

[Completed] [Q] Wanted ! good root for Z1 with full SD permission!

HI All,
Recently got a replacement for my xperia Z, a Z1 ! I had KitKat on it which came with an annoying SD card problem (I guess you all know about this issue....) I flashed to 14.2.A.1.136 Jelly Bean and Rooted with TowelRoot. All good except that my SuperSU will not update its binaries....Access to SD read/write is all OK.
I would also like to be able to use a custom ROM, iHacker's look interesting and very useful but the process seems very long winded and I don't want to try it without SuperSU working properly.
I am not bothered with KITKAT so happy to stay with Jelly Bean if necessary.
Although I am able to Flash an FTF I am still a bit green with regard to android workings so simple directions would be muchly appreciated.
I hope anyone out there can help me
PS I found StorageCow but didnt know if any of the ftf files would help my problem, guess I need the last JB firmware....

Hi,
Me advice would be to read as much as you can and get a handle on everything, then follow the instructions to the letter. Also, here's a great guide for doing most things.... And you can ask questions here,
> Sony Xperia Z1 > Xperia Z1 General > Root, Backup TA, Unlock bootloader and more! The ultimate Xperia Z1 guide
Good luck!

Much appreciated KJ
