:eek: Cool!

Yes that should mean it's unlocked. Apparently the 10.1 is shipping unlocked as well so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

If you want to be sure, go into fastboot mode using steps 1-4 above and it should say:

Lock State: UNLOCKED

...on the fastboot screen
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
unlucky, if I Hold the VOLUME DOWN button and press the POWER button , the tablet goes to the normal UI, I cannot understand.......

I did not see anything about BACKUP and USB icons
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Necr6phag1st:
For those who are having diffficulties unlocking the bootloader, follow all steps mentioned in the guide, and then enter the device in USB mode but don't plug it to the pc.

Open the cmd and type:

cd "<PATH TO SDK FOLDER>\tools"

fastboot devices

fastboot oem unlock (and it will appear a notification saying waiting for device)

Only nows, in USB mode, plug the tab to the PC.

After that choose in the tab "yes" and your bootloader is unlocked.

Hope this could help!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
Are you sure you are using Vol Down? It is on the left side of the rocker when in landscape mode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] xavierdylan:
I have often seen different ppl reporting different things. Some say they can just doe it by powering on by pressing the vol down button. Other say power +volume down. If these dont work for you try this. It worked for me. Press the power button and half a second later press the vol down button. The timing may need to be right but it shouild hopefully work. Let us know how it goes
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
yeah, i pretty sure i hold the buttons, but it is still not working on that.

if i hold volumn up plus power button, the tablet shows nothing.....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
thx, i get into the fastboot mode , :) thank you for your method,

otherwise, i also get my tablet from vodafone in syd.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
One new problem i met

I am sure that I have done all the prepare work including SDK JDK drivers etc

but when i typed in

cd "<PATH TO SDK FOLDER>\tools"

fastboot devices

in my cmd.exe for 32bit windows

it shows nothing.........

BTW, I connected the tablet into the pc and the driver went correctly!

what's wrong with my process............
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
OK, assuming you didn't literally type

cd "<PATH TO SDK FOLDER>\tools"

:D

You might need to open the SDK tools (android.exe windows??) and you need to download (I think) the platform tools. Check around XDA for guides on how to get fastboot working if you get stuck. I need to update the guide to include this step. Will do so when I have a Windows box to work with.

EDIT: Fastboot for Linux and Windows attached to first post
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
It should show a device called 'fastboot' if you are in fastboot mode, from memory. I don't have a Windows box handy to confirm.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
It should indeed say "Fastboot" as bcmobile mentioned. Try installing PdaNet for Android (it comes with the correct drivers): http://www.junefabrics.com/android/

When after installing it still doesnt work, try manually picking the drivers from the install folder when updating the driver in device manager.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
the device goes into the fastboot mode, as i can see, there are some words:

Fastboot USB download protocol

Bootloader Version:P7100BUKC8

Baseband Version:7100BIKD9

Serial Number:~~~~~

Lock state: LOCKED

just these words……:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] seraphimserapis:
then use fastboot oem unlock ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Danidemi:
It did the part to boot to the usb and the digging android then the part of installing the fastboot when i run fastboot devices it says missing AdbWinApi.dll solve this to reinstall the program....

Does anyone know?

thnx
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] gjroeleveld:
Copy the DLL from your adb directory over to the fastboot directory.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Mallkon:
I'm having the same problem.

Can't get any device to apear on fastboot device.

But if i plug the tablet and execute the command adb devices under "platform-tools" it shows a string of numbers...

I tryed it on windows, tonight be trying on a Mac Os X...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
What you are describing is what the guide says:

So, continue with step 7 :).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] marco.catelli:
anyone knows a working version of fastboot for mac? Mine it's working with many devices (nexus s, galaxy s, galaxy tab 7" etc.) but not for tab 10.1". I guess it needs a tegra 2 compatible version but in this post I found only the windows and linux versions. Anyone for mac?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
EDIT: Never mind, I see it doesnt have a fastboot included.

Have you tried the one provided by HTC: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
Hi Egan,

I'm still struggling that why my PC cannot detected the device.

I used the fastboot.exe above from HTC website but it is not working.

After i type

fastboot devices

nothing comes out

and after that i type

fastboot oem unlock

the cmd shows <waiting for device>

the drivers are OK and I changed another PC but it is the same:confused::(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] marco.catelli:
yes, I tried. It works with other devices but not with this...maybe there should be a version for tegra...or maybe it's only my case...anyone else with a mac?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
I had that same problem. In Device Manager it says the fastboot driver is installed but it isnt working. So I installed PdaNet (http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php), which also installs a fastboot driver and it worked. It might be the case that you have to manually select (browse) the driver from the install folder after installation, cause Windows often auto selects the fastboot driver that doesnt work for us.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
The version I used for Linux was marked as "Tegra compatible" but I never knew such a thing existed.

Can you see the device at all? In Linux, you would use:

lsusb

...but not sure if it would be the same on OSX

EDIT:

Just found this via Google. Apparently this is the OSX equiv of lsusb:

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

...I dont have a Mac any more due to many problems similar to yours

Edit2:

Il sito che ho trovato in realtà è in italiano:) http://bit.ly/jsUp8z
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] seraphimserapis:
lsusb - everything else is allright ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
thank u for ur help, Egan........

BUT

it is still not working:(

when I connect the device into PC, the PdaNet is on and shows connecting the internet(I cannot remember the exact the words), after that, nothing is going on any more............

is the network speed poor? Or any other reasons.......:confused:

BTW, should I boot the device into fastboot mode and then connect to PC?

anyway, Thank u very much!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Mallkon:
No, that´s not what i'm saying. In fastboot, doesn't appear any device. The only way, that i get that string is, in "adb devices", but with the tab turned on. If i connected in fastboot mode, even in "adb devices" appears nothing..

It seems that i can't pass this chapter :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
Try this, worked for me: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13872623&postcount=40
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
You should have the device in fastboot mode yes. Then update the driver through Device Manager and manually browse for it in the PdaNet install folder.

You're welcome :).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
sorry for bother u Egan.

I FAIL again.....

follow your steps and browse the folder which PdaNet installed and updated my driver, then I made the device go into fastboot mode, and connect to PC to update, after that the drivers updated and said "Android Original ADB Interface"

then, everything is still, no more info comes out after I type "fastboot devices" in cmd.exe

I want to cry:(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
go into device manager, select the ADB device, right click and go to properties. Select the details (?) tab and select "hardware details". Post back with the device ID.

(steps may not be exact - I dont have a windows PC to check)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
Then you probably have chosen the wrong driver from that folder. You gotta pick 'android_winusb.inf '. It should read 'Android Bootloader Interface' in Device Manager, not 'Android Original ADB Interface' when installed correctly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Mallkon:
@laoya

I manage to get it work

I diactivated the "android adb interface" and desintalled the drivers. reboot the labtop, downloaded and installed pdanet. Connected the tab in fastboot mode, waited until the windows show that can't find the drivers, and installed them manually. Went to the drivers folder on "C:\programs(x86)\PdaNet for Android\usbwin". The windows installed the correct drivers, and now on Device Manager appears, "Android Original ADB Interface", and fastboot started to work.

Hope that this could be for same assintance for you Laoya.

Sorry, for the bad spelling :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
Haha - that's where I was headed with my last post :D

Good work. Did you unlock it as well?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Mallkon:
That's what it said in first place, and i couldn't get the win to recognise the fastboot device.

But after install the drivers from PdaNet, it appears, like "Android Original ADB Interface". And now, i unlocked the bootloader, and get root access :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Mallkon:
Yes i did. And already got root access, thanks to your guide :D

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
thank you for helping me, bcmobile

still, it is not working.........

the driver is still "android original adb interface", but I cannot get any info from cmd.exe after typing "fastboot devices"

sorry for bothering you at late night

Anyway, I checked what you mentioned device ID, maybe here it is......

USB\VID_0955&PID_7000&REV_0000

USB\VID_0955&PID_7000

BTW, I am a Chinese guy and my computer is built in chinese language so sometimes I may get misunderstanding.....and maybe this is also a device ID

usb\class_ff&subclass_42

thank u for helping!!

I only get to see my tab with the command "fastboot devices", if i execute it from the folder "C:\.....\android\\tools". If i for exemple, type from c:\ , it doesn't show anything...

Try going to the folder where you have installed SDK Manager.exe. In the same folder you have a another folder with the name "Tools", select that folder,don't open it,just highlightand, get the mouse over there and press shift+right mouse key, and choose "open command prompt" something like that. and execute fastboot devices. Try that. It worked for me. good luck

[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Chainfire:
@bcmobile

used "fastboot oem unlock", the device didn't say anything (though as I stated before, it already says "OEM Lock: Unlocked"). The command outputted:

E:\SoftDev\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: -0.000s

Reboot, still have the closed padlock during boot.

Or... hmm... define closed... it still looks like a normal padlock, but there is an opening in it. Doh. Can someone post an image of an "open" padlock just to make sure? If I'm seeing the same thing, that means the KDF ROM did indeed unlock the bootloader automagically.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
Yeah, that's the unlocked one :)

From memory, when it's locked, you shouldn't see a padlock at all.

Guys for the life of me I cannot get ADB to detect my device when it is in Fastboot mode. Fastboot devices lists my device correctly. But ADB devices doesn't?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] brunorferreira:
Hi guys,

I followed this tutorial successfully. Thanks you for development.

To make a rollback for example to RMA, just install a new original rom with Odin3 v1.85 and revert the unlock bootloader like this..

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem lock

...

OKAY [ 0.046s]

finished. total time: 0.046s

And its locked again :D

The procedure for install original rom is in SamFirmware.com

checking steps:

1# install original rom with Odin3 v1.85 (procedure and downloads on samfirmware)

2# Lock the bootloader like this tutorial but invert the command to "fastboot oem lock"

I hope this helps yours ;)

As is written in third post, "Do I need to wipe, or will it wipe my device? No and No."

But I saw in "Unlock your bootloader", which I understood that is mandatory before rooting, that "This process will factory reset your device and wipe the internal memory."

So, if I'm rooting my Tab, the memory will be wiped or not?

If YES, is there any other method without wipe it?
