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:

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:

Mobile Odin you can unroot and get back to stock, but as far as re-locking, you need a working USB port to re-lock your phone.
Thanks
OMG!!
Is the issue anyway similar to this?
if yes, i really really need to kn ow how did that happen? the service center in my country are completely clueless!!
I recently came into the possession of an Xperia Play and I have been left confused by the situation. The touch screen does not work but the buttons do... It is running the default modded Sony version of Android, It is a few months old and I have a feeling that it is a software problem rather than a hardware problem. I am wondering if there is any rooting method that would be suitable for my situation or should I just give up on the phone?
Any help would be appreciated
flash back to stock and check the touchscreen,

It's not rooted and it's already running the stock version of aneroid. I'm trying to figure out if I could root it without being able to access the phone's settings. I believe installing third party apps is enabled. Should I just try superoneclick or would I risk bricking it
Yii don't need to have it rooted to flash back to stock...just download the stock.ftf and flash it via flashtool
Here is the link for flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299

There's a problem with that too. Flashtool wont recognise that there's a device connected since I can access the "Allow USB" on my phone Can you think of any ways around that?

Oh ok. After reading about rooting our phone, Im confused about the whole "kies" thing. There is a stock "kies" app that came installed with my phone. So does that mean I have to go through that whole driver issue? Can someone explain this process a little further if so?
Your probably thinking of Samsung Kies for the computer. Windows version does not matter.
You do not need Kies if your going to root just download and install the ones they tell you in the post your reading.
So Im definitely a noob and I rooted my Bell Samsung Galaxy Note 2 but later on I installed Jelly Bam to my phone hoping it would give me the 4.1.2 jelly bean firmware. After Installing Jelly Bam I realized that now I have no MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION.. I really want to just uninstall Jelly Bam and go back to the way I first had my Note 2. Ive tried unrooting and returning to stock by Odin3 1.85 but whenever I put my phone into download mode and plug it into the computer it doesn't recognize it. PLEASE HELP.
what do you mean by "no MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION"?
have you checked Settings->About device and Settings->About device->Status? what are the values there?
what's the JellyBam you've tried? the one in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35054812&postcount=331 seems to indicate it's not for you... Unfortunately sammobile.com doesn't show any firmware for Bell or even Canada; I don't suppose you remember what was the original version on the phone?...
