Rooting Live with Walkman (WT19i) with locked bootloader using Flashtool on MacBook

ManggApple — Fri, 15 May 2015 05:00:53 GMT

Hi, good day. Noob here. 😆

I'm going straight to the point. I have already tried rooting my Live with Walkman about a year ago, but then I experienced a boot loop. I fixed my phone using Sony Bridge, it was brought to life again. But I suspect it is the reason my Live isn't rooted anymore, or made it not properly rooted (the root checker app said it isn't properly rooted)

Now, I wanted to root my phone again (with bootloader locked) but I forgot how to do it. I have Flashtool, and it is what I used to root my device before.
Here is the log that I get whenever I try to press the pad lock icon that says "Root".

I want to know, what the heck am I supposed to do with the "Please look at your device and click RESTORE!" if there's no RESTORE on the screen? Haha. And if there's something I haven't done, or I am supposed to do, please let me know.

And please.. Please reply asap. I would appreciate any help. THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

EDIT: Alright, I think the backstory's a bit unclear. That doesn't really matter, so... Yeah. PLEASE HAAAAAAALP..!

SECOND EDIT: I tried following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343 I am having problems on where to put the kernel. Where can I see the firmware folder here on Mac's Finder? THANKS!!
