For the first step, you must download a few apps and save them to your PC. Don’t worry as the tools are free distributed.
Download Flash tool here, Firmware WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58 (use this link), Doom lord rooting kit (from here) and CWM Recovery image (download link here).
First of all unzip the Flash tool file and install the same on your computer.
Then, unzip the firmware; you will get the .ftf file. Go and place it to the “C:/Drive > flashtool > firmwares>”.
Make sure that there are no other files stored in the up mentioned directory. If different delete the firmware and then place the .ftf file.
Connect the smartphone with the computer.
Open flash tool, go to “file” and select “flash mode”.
Click “ok”.
From the list that opens select “Wipe User Data” and “Wipe Cache” and click “ok”.
In the end the handset will reboot.
Turn it off and reboot by pressing volume down, home and power button.
Flash the firmware with flashing tool.
Go to your PC and unzip the Doomlord root kit.
Run the “runme.bat” executable (your device must be connected with the computer).
You can update your phone from “Settings -> About Phone”; don’t do the same by using the PC Companion.
When the update operation is finished, go to the PC and unzip CWM.
Install and then run the second file script: wt19i.install-cmw2.cmd.
Make sure USB debugging mode enabled and displays screen timeout set to 10min.

That was all. Your Sony Xperia Live Walkman WT19i should now be rooted. The up-detailed method was developed and tested by those of xda-developers so we have them to thanks for the same.
