Rooting is possible or Not??

I wish to root my SE Live With Walkman. As I am novice, so I dont risk to unlock bootloader or flashing a new custom ROM. I root my phone as I  want to get rid of Bloatwares. Please tell me whether it is possible to ROOT my SE LWW?screenshot_2012-05-01_2126.png

3rd connect your phone to a wifi and then go to settings -> about phone -> software update

4th once you root your phone install titanium backup to delete the bloatware

here is a list of apps

it's quite helpful, that way you won't delete an app that it's needed

if you root on .42 and then update your phone OTA it will remain rooted

with this build number it's a bit complicated but not impossible, remember that ICS it's around the corner and you will be able to delete all this bloatware, if you can't wait then you need to get the kernel from 4.0.2.A.0.42

or you can flash .42 then root it with SuperOneClick and the update OTA

this is .42

Super one Click

if you want to go back to .62 manually

Live w/ Walkman WT19i 2.3.4 Build number 4.0.2.A.0.62

Thank Y:smileyhappy:U Wooly for your response. But, I already told you that I am novice one and SE LWW is my 1st android experience. Moreover I try to understand ur given link, but those make me confused. Can you please tell me the easiest way to get rid of BLOATWARE. I wish to root my phone just to remove those bloatwares.

ok just know that rooting and/or flashing "could" void your warranty, you can unroot anytime by either using superoneclick or SUS or PCC

1st you need to downgrade to .42
