Hi,

I'm trying to install TWRP on my SM-P900 and I can't get it to boot into fastboot mode. I have the Samsung USB drivers and the latest Android SDK installed on my Windows 8.1 machine, USB debugging enabled on the device, and the device appears when I run "adb devices". When I run "adb reboot bootloader", the device just does a normal reboot. This is my first time doing anything with custom recovery or ROMs, so I'm not sure what the problem is or what to do next. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
