Does the 10.1 require some additional driver to use fastboot on a Mac?

I have the device in USB mode and it says fastboot in the top left corner of the screen, but "fastboot devices" returns nothing.

I've had no problem using fastboot to flash stuff on my N1, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong here.

adb requires the phone (tab in this case) to be on and in debugging mode. Fastboot requires the devices to be off and in fastboot mode.

Adb and fastboot are 2 different things. If I am not mistaken (which i can be), you cannot detect your tab in fastboot mode if you are in ADB. And you cannot detect your tab in ADB if you are in fastboot. But I am not entirely sure about this.

You are not using ADB to push the img. You need to use fastboot to to "force" the boot to use the CWM img instead of the stock one that samsung put on.

Here is what I did. I turned off my device, held down the power button+volume down to get it into Download/USB mode. Pick USB mode, and you will see some words come onto the top left of the screen. One of them will say "Fastboot." That how you know you're in Fastboot. Then check in CMD for "fastboot devices" and it should be listed.

Once you see your device listed, go ahead and run fastboot boot recovery-cwm-blah-blah-blah.

It should be there if it's plugged in the USB. Do you have USB Debugging set to on?

If you're able to connect through adb, it's no different to connect fastboot.

while in command, make sure you "cd" the correct file that fastboot is located in.

Make sure you also have the tab set to fastboot mode.

With those, it should definitely connect.

For me:

cd c:\android-sdk\tools

fastboot devices
<10.1 Tab will show up>

fastboot boot blah-blah-blah

And then it worked.
