Oh my!!! You did it! congrats, yes, the steps are complex.. I'm not confident to do it

Yeaahh, finally I made it yesterday, I cannot tahan seeing you root it
I prefer this step http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880576

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.

ooo yes, you're right, I forgot to show the most important part, installing the driver
I do hope someone update the 1st page to summarize everything, or open a new thread and merge with this thread.
Going to Jit my phone after this.

and bro awis, do you change the top bar notification colour and icon? It's kinda hard to alter the framework, maybe you can give a good link/xda forum for us to try it

btw, Happy New Year all

-Edit-
I'm trying this http://androidforums.com/sony-ericsson-xpe...ck-theme-d.html
but stucked at Sony Ericsson Logo

Just found out there's a thread at xda forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889963
so user propc is Awis, this is great, we have a master on Lyn
and I manage to changed the framework, luckily I got Xrecovery installed

No problem, you said backup, yes, it's a good idea to do backup, if anything happened, just do the restore, no need to re-flash back

For backup, I'd prefer xRecovery, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426
The installation seems to be easy to follow.


To activate

It's better to test 1st whether it's working or not


How To JIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877565 (I'll explain again with picture )

1) Download JIT http://bit.ly/JiT-toggle

2) Open CMD (Command Prompt) and change directory adb folder. Type this command

the file build.prop being pulled out to the folder, as below: make 2 copies of the build.prop file, 1 is original, 1 is modified



3) Open the file build.prop with notepad. Modify it as below
Change
dalvik.vm.heapsize=30m
debug.sf.hw=1

add this at the end:
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
save the file.



4) Extract and Copy JiT-toggle-0.1 folder to the SDcard.


5) Inside JiT-toggle-0.1 folder, copy & overwrite original build.prop to vmlibs_stock. Copy & Overwrite modified build.prop to vmlibsv2
picture below



6) Next, type

then

important: check your phone, superuser request will pop out once you type su, allow it. In case it's not pop out, manually go to superuser, and allow it. Otherwise you'll get permission denied.


7) Type

important: in your phone, Turn off USB storage (unmount). Otherwise you'll get error can't cd to sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1


8) Type

your phone will reboot and you'll have jit enabled

Below is the picture



Before JIT:


After JIT:


Feel free to modify, in case I forgot anything

p/s: Remember to install xrecovery 1st, sediakan payung sebelum hujan

This method works but better to backup if it goes wrong. When disabling the jit, yes, it will hang the phone. enable jit again then it's ok. I just leave it enable anyway, so far no issue

Here, use my version of busybox
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/9/16/1435290/busybox.rar

Copy the busybox to system/bin in your phone, not sdcard

Just want to share,

Here is the basic apps that's a must for me:

1) LauncherPro (Default Launcher is really sucks, this is a good replacement)

2) Advance Task Killer (Kill Running Application in the background, I set to autokill every 30 minutes)

3) Simi Clock

4) Dazzle (Good Widget for shortcut Wifi, Data, Bluetooth, etc)

5) PowerAmp (Good Music Player than Winamp, but it's paid, google around for this app)

6) Astro File Manager

7) Barcode Scanner

8) Titanium Backup (Root device only)

9) Root Explorer (Root device only)

Guys,
new update is available 2.1.1.A.0.6

Change the SI to 1241-4645, you'll get the update.

It's still rootable don't worry

Aiyarghh, same lah, my default SI code unable to received any update, that's why I use orange SI code. sigh...

Ultima, may I use your code?

Owhh.. Thank you. This time flashed for 151 times maybe

And hopefully custom ROM will be successful, 2.2 & 2.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513

If not root, at least change the default Launcher. Should be fine if she's don't mind a bit lag.

Well, if root it would be nicer, for girls can use pink themes

Guys, for the stable Custom ROM use this:
2.2.1 MiniCM-1.0.0-RC1 CM-6.1.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223
Everything is working, So far I didn't encounter any problem with it and it's really fast. Give it a try guys

Yes, currently I'm using this custom rom now, lot of improvement, I don't know how to describe it, just give it a try

Here, but my score not as high as WooTz
Its jit enabled already. I don't face the reboot problem when turning off usb. and I'm using floyo skin because I don't like cm default skin, too glowing

Yes, you just follow the tutorial at xda, if you have any problem installing the custom rom, just let us know here
the jit is already bundled with this custom rom and also app2sd

Yes, it's already rooted, since you're already mod you android, why don't install custom rom?
take your time buddy
