I manage to screenshot my screen while I'm doing it for future reference, sometimes I forgot how to do it again 
You need to downgrade to 1.6 first
1) Download the flasher here http://www-stud.uni-due.de/~sfanmakr/X10Fl...10Flash-2.1.zip
2) Download 1.6 Firmware http://rapidshare.com/files/432487345/E15i_1.6.rar and 2.1 firmware http://www.mediafire.com/?vkjdu0m2ramajng
3) Next, put the 1.6 & 2.1 Firmware inside the flasher folder
4) Run the flasher by clicking on x10flash.bat and click flash
5) Select 1.6 Firmware and click ok
6) The flasher "searching for Xperia". Turn off your phone. Hold down the back button and connect the USB to your phone while holding back button. Once start flashing, release the back button.
7) Downgrade to 1.6 done. Now turn on your phone, it may take a while for it to load. You need to root the 1.6, I assume you all already know how to root 1.6. So I'll skip this part.
8) Next, download this 2 files http://pashkovsky.com/x8/x8-2.1rooted.img.yaffs.rar & http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...19&d=1292599074
9) Inside x8-2.1rooted.img.yaffs.rar contains x8rooted.img while ISO-8859-1__unyaffs-arm.rar contains busybox and unyaffs. Copy x8rooted.img, busybox and unyaffs to your SDcard.
10) Next, open CMD (command prompt), change directory to the flasher folder. Follow the picture below.
11) Once completed, your phone will hang, force close error. Turn off your phone by removing the battery.
12) Go to 2.1 firmware folder. Remove system.sin. Copy loader.sin from 1.6 firmware to 2.1 folder
13) Run the flash again, this time select 2.1 firmware
14) While your phone turn off, Hold down the back button and connect the USB to your phone while holding back button. Once start flashing, release the back button.
That's all. You'll have 2.1 rooted. In case you have failed, go back to step no.4
If I miss anything, feel free to add it or modify this guide. Have fun rooting.
