Unlock bootloader and root live with Walkman (2011 Xperia devices)

When I purchased Sony live with Walkman I was not sure that I can use it to root and use customized rom. As earlier I lost my galaxy fit resulted in bricking So I worked cautiously on rooting and bootloading project I will start with unlock bootloader As when you purchase xperia you will find your boot loader locked as to prevent user to modify ROM or to prevent malware to infect your mobile. But if you want to take full control over your mobile you need to unlock it. That's a bit risk but you have to take it anyhow. To unlock click http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/here. After unlocking enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu. In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. You will see boot loader unlocked yes. That was the most toughest part. Now you need Flashtool that is the solution of all rooting programs. It is developed by androxide . Click http://androxyde.github.com/here to get latest version of Flashtool for PC depending upon your OS. After installing Flashtool on pc go in C drive you will see a folder named Flashtool there inside you will find drivers folder inside that folder you will find drivers instal package instal it for your mobile. My mobile is live with Walkman so I installed xperia mini pack in it Now the next step will be flashing kernel and you have to select kernel as per your mobile. The best kernel for live with Walkman is Rage Kernel and the Link for this kernel is http://naw32fsystem.blogspot.in/2012/04/how-to-overclock-live-with-walkman.html?m=1here Well I have installed Rage Kernel because it will instal CWM Recovery and super user by itself means your mobile will be rooted HOW TO FLASH KERNEL 1) move rage kernel in your PC 2) switch of your mobile and attach cable holding volume UP so that blue led will glow up that is called FASTBOOT mode here your PC will automatically instal ADB drivers ( windows 7). For windows XP please Google it 3) Open Flashtool and you will see device connected written 4) Click the Flash icon on top left you will find a sub menu FASTBOOT and FLASHMODE 5) Click on FASTBOOT and a menu will appear click on option-" select kernel to flash". 6) Browse Rage kernel it will be -boot.img file . Select that kernel and THATS IT.

♠ Power off your phone [Keep it in power off mode [Till you setup the flash tool.] After setting up Press Vol Down Button simultaneously connect it via USB to PC it will get into flash mode [Drivers must be installed forehand or else computer may not recognize it ]
♠ Then go to your flash tool folder[Where you installed the flash tool.]

♠ Then, start your flash tool
♠ Press the flash button, Select flash mode
♠ Select the firmware & Leave all the settings as it is i.e. wipe data and cache selected, Select No final verification[I selected it, i don't know whats the use of it can anybody tell me ?? ] [After searching google i got this answer : It will check whether any error occurred during flashing, i had disabled it when flashing stock rom on my phone. so idont know what happens when we keep it unchecked.]
♠ The flash tool will setup files and start flashing, Don't touch your phone or press any button.
♠ Hurray you have successfully recovered your phone back to stock state. :highfive: :fingers-crossed:

flash stock rom using flashtool

I had the same problem.
After unlocking the bl (official way) I had a bootloop. I flashed the. 31 FTf from this forum. I was still having the bootloop.
After that, I relocked the bootloader with Flashtool. This helped me. The phone booted without the loop.
After unlocking the bl again (with Flashtool) everything was fine and I flashed vengeance kernel.

stuck in boot loop after unlocking bootloader
Hi All,
I tried unlocking the boot loader with the officially mentioned fastboot method and have ended up in a bootloop while starting the phone.
As mentioned in this thread, I am trying to flash the stock ROM C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf onto my phone. However, I am getting an error message "No available services matched the connected device" on the EMMA tool. I tried the following:
1. Tried putting the file C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf in C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Emma\firmwares folder, but EMMA doesn't recognise this.
2. Tried putting the file in C:\Flashtool\firmwares, still EMMA doesn't recognise this and shows "No available services matched the connected device".
I have attached the screenshot of the error message herewith.
Please let me know how I can resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Before trying backup ta cuz if it brick you can restore from backup or brick ta mean hard brick device that only sony can fix.
This trick worked on Xperia e1 so maby work on E3 also.

Does this method works on Xperia E3 D2206/D2243??
Does this method work with Xperia E3 D2206/D2243 ?? @vinay What do you think?
I am telling this because around a half month ago, I get rooted in my phone (D2206 model) using D2203 boot img file. Thanks for all

@lexiyuri I believe you can flash lollypop aosp and use this method to root it.
I wanna tell you that D2212 root method work on d2202 cause it supports it's kernel. Now sony released 4.4.4 on d2202 and I,ve flashed d2202 FTF on my D2212 and it is working like charm.
And an FTF contains
Boot
System
Fotakernel
Userdata
And may more.
But aosp only contains userdata.img system.img boot.img and I bet it will work.
Cause in FTF we need all partition,s compatible but in aosp just 3 and if you see cycle of phone boot you only need one compatible and it is boot which is already compatible.
