Rooting tool & packages:

Disclaimer: Rooting WT19i 4.0.2.A.62 will help you free the android phone. But this has some risks and you must move ahead, keeping in mind such risks (like bricking the phone and loss of data). We recommend that only if you are ready to get exposed to such risks, root your phone. Kindly do it at your own risk. The information as produced in this site is produced with care, keeping in mind the requirements of the users. But it is important to note that rooting the phone makes the warranty of the phone void.

Rooting procedure:

1. First thing that you need to do is unzip the firmware that you have downloaded and put in Flashtool firmware.
2. Now, you can go to Flashtool. Power off your device and after that is done you need to press 3 keys simultaneously: volume down, home and power button. When you do this, the green LED should glow up. Flash the firmware with flashing tool.
3. Now start the phone and follow setups as you would do with a new phone.
4. Now, use the Doomlord kit for rooting the device. Rooting may make the phone’s warranty void and this is something you should keep in mind. Before rooting check out the USB debugging and make sure it is checked. You can do this by Settings->Application->Development->check USB debugging. The screen timeout should be set at around 30 minutes.
   Now run runme.bat. Your WT19i Live with Walkman is rooted now and super User app should be installed.
5. Its time to update the firmware again. For this go to Setting >> About >> Software update. Now download the same and also install it. Remember to update only through OTA (Over the Air) method for permanent root. Updating using PC companion will give temporary root and you will lose the root once restarted. So avoid using PC companion.
6. After you are done with updating you must unzip CWM install and run the second file script :wt19i.install-cmw2.cmd.Check USB debugging and also set the screen time out as 10 minutes.
