No one is really working with 2.1 anymore. There has only been limited success with the Gingerbreak. It does not work for everyone. Are you looking to just root your phone? The CWM 2.5.x should work.
Actually this was tested on 2.1:

2.5 still gives me a phone is not connected and i have debug mode on and the samsung drivers instaled and restarted both my pc and phone so i will have to try the no pc method

The phone not connected is a USB problem. Either try another cable or another USB port. Only one port works on my laptop, none work on my main computer. Drivers try to install forever.
So try another port and another cable. You may have to reboot your computer after trying and getting that message.
was the pc less root one made for 2.1?

If you mean the Gingerbreak, it barely works on 2.2 phones, but you certainly can try it. Is there any reason you don't want to go to 2.2? You can Odin to a EC05 prerooted ROM. There are videos for rooting without a PC if you want to see:

If you can use regular Sprint ROMs then yes. Odin, info and 2.2 tar are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
And a good stock prerooted ROM is here that you can Odin in:

Yes. Then you will need to do to it whatever it is that makes it work on Boost.

Not familiar with that aspect. Did you convert it to Boost or did someone do it for you? Because Odin'ing will make it like an out-of-the-box Sprint phone, so then you gotta do the Boost thing.
i ordered it already setup to to boost. blah idk

Don't think you should use Odin then. Check out the Boost rooting video I posted for you.
The conversion to make it work on Boost seems complicated. Found a post here:

Also found this thread that says Odin can be used with no problem:

Yeah. I'm pretty much stuck at this point. I have a custom recovery installed, root and on an international rom but I cannot get cell service. Wifi works, but that's about it.
I believe it has to do with the isis security.
Was thinking about going to TMO and getting a non-isis sim card to try.

If anyone can help out with getting a flashable radio for this it'd be greatly appreciated. I've looked around on how to extract the radio from the current version with no luck.
As far as the ROM, a user linked one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33242968&postcount=67
I've restored that through custom recovery/nandroid and it works fine. But without the radio... I'm lost.
I get a MD5 mismatch when I try to restore it with nandroid.
Downloaded it twice. anyone else had luck?

Had the same thing. Best bet is to go into the md5 file with a text editor and just delete everything and save the file. Recopy the md5 file over and reflash. Not sure why it was causing this error because I even re-ran the md5's myself and they were the same.
Also, just got off the phone with Samsung, they pretty much said the phone is not in their system yet and they do not have access to the firmware at this point. Their suggestion was to go back to t-mobile and get an exchange unit.
I will try that..
I called Samsung last night and they gave me the same run around.

You should find a store with one on the shelf, and not much supervision... and root it/extract a nand image hehehe. Though that would mean you would have be able to do all that and I have no idea how to extract a baseband image that is the power of the xda dev gods!
How hard is it to extract a baseband image?
Could someone that has one do it easily?

Oh so wait. You're using a T-Mobile Note 2 and managed to flash an international ROM with everything working and functional (except for signal/sms/data/call) ? No reboots?
I ask because I've been wanting to somehow "convert" my T-Mobile Note 2 to an international Note 2 (as in, be able to flash the updates the international version gets instead of waiting on T-Mobile). I'm not US based so I don't need it to work with T-Mobile SIM anyhow...
Dear wonderful community.
Yesterday my htc one was lost..sad. So i went and purchased a brand new t-mobile samsung galaxy s4 (m919).
I went home and wished to root it. Simple process. Just one big problem. My pc did not want to recognize my phone.
Ok. So i figured let me go to the website and download latest drivers. Nope! Didnt work. Ok, let me try the kies method. Nope! Didnt work either. There is literally nothing that is going in my favor at the moment. I tried my friends galaxy s2, hey what do you know, easily recognized. Tried my s4 again. Nope! Absolutely refuses to be recognized. So here we are at work. Tried on my work pc. Guess what? Nope again!
Somebody please please please help me!
And again im sorry if this is a repost topic, if so please just point me in the right direction! Thank you ahead of time!

My guess is that you are using an older version of abd, which does not support android 4.2.2, which is why your s2 works fine.

BIG Noob Questions
Hi, I am unfamiliar with Samsung Phones. I currently have a LG phone without all this stuff about variants. I have a Rogers phone but I am unlocking it to run on Telus. That said can I run a Telus rooted firmware? Or does it not really matter what firmware is on the phone. Is it worth while to update the radio?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any answers that you can give.

DMF1977, I tried your way. I downloaded Odin and root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar. As soon as I loaded the root66 file, I didn't even get a chance to hit start, both times Odin froze. Then I saw "Check MD5....Do not unplug the cable...Please wait". I had no choice but to shut my phone down because Odin froze and wasn't doing anything. I tried it twice. Then after I unplugged and shut my phone down I saw this in the box " root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 is valid. Checking MD5 finished successfully. Leave CS..."
I remember last year having a problem with Odin conflicting with something on my laptop when I rooted my Captivate. I ended up having to root it a different way.

Good to hear!! Now it's time to get rom'd up!!
i'm really stuck and could use some help please.
i managed to unlock the bootloader and get CM recovery installed, but i cannot manage to get a ROM on the phone.
it's not rooted. i have attempted to sideload both CM 12 and Z1c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-114_v01.img with no success. when i boot the phone, i get a sony splash screen and then active black, but cannot connect it to my computer as a connected device as the computer does not recognize it. i am able to see the device via fastboot and adb in terminal.
i'm using a mac. i'm an extreme noob and i have no idea what to do. i have tried following the instructions on several sites, including many different areas of xda, but frankly, i'm stuck and would really appreciate help. i just want to have a working device.
running 10.9.5 on a mac mini
have installed sony bridge for mac, but it does not see a device connected.
any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance.
EDITED TO ADD:
ok, i fixed it. i installed (using ./adb sideload) the correct SuperSU version, and then installed (using ./adb sideload) CM12 and GAPPS 5.0.x, and it all appears to be working.
if anyone is in a similar situation, i would say, take a break, remember to breathe, and go slow. don't get frustrated. that was the deal breaker for me. once i gave myself some time and space to think about it, i figured out that what was stopping my progress was that the phone was not rooted, so i couldn't install anything on it yet. patience is key.

You obviously didn't look at all otherwise when told to download the Mac version you would have gone to the download page and found it, why you've not done that only you know, and the problem wasn't me not understanding you it was you thinking you know better than long time and more knowledgeable members telling you there actually is a Mac version. Anyway, you got there in the end.

I assume what I assume based on what you wrote and once again have been shown to be right again in my assumptions, the first 3 links are Welcome, Gallery and Download, why you've not thought to click on Download is quite baffling when I suggested that you Download the Mac version, even more so when you continued to state there wasn't one, anyway.
Your issue is resolved and you've learned something new along the way.
