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.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
I have a Mac, but I have never tried running anything root related on a Mac. Sorry :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] charlJoubert:
Would this perhaps work on the 10.1v? Been waiting for the 3.1 update for long enough now :-P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
It works on the v.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
can someone direct me to a workable location where the correct drivers are located,,,most of the ones i find are saying 403 error?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
All I did was plug in my galaxy tab, and windows automatically downloaded the correct drivers.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
Ok got my tab today and rooted fine but when i got to install cwm it and i press the power and volume down button then click on the usb icon the fastboot words and some other stuff come up in the upper left hand corner and when i got to cmd on my computer and type fastboot devices nothing happens?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
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.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
i know it is wierd i have usb debugging on and when i check and do a adb devices check it shows my connection in adb?

Am i correct that I just open up a command prompt on my computer then type in fastboot devices?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
i ADB pushed the recovery zip file to sd card and extracted it i am wondering if i can just replace the recovery file there with this one and reboot?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
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.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
yeah i put my files in c:/android-sdk-windows/tools

do you extract the file from the zip then place it in the tools folder or place the whole zip file in there?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
one more thing how do i set the tab to fastboot mode? Is that when you press power and volume down then press it over to usb?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
I think it may be a driver issue i installed the kies install and i can run adb fine but nothing when i try to connect in fastboot,,,,

why is this so different then the xoom this is what i did for that

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
when i connect the usb cable shouldnt the drive of the galaxy tab pop up on my computer like it does for my xoom?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
extract it and put it in the same file your fastboot is located in. For my it's c/android-sdk/tools

Yes.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
Thank you i get a waiting on device after i do it how long did it take to load for you?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
Pretty much immediately.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
what OS are you on?

for windows to get fastboot going,

install the samsung drivers for usb:

http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/drivers/Samsung_USB_Driver_P4_Including_Escape.zip

i assume you already have adb access, so your .inf is up to date. if not, put this in there under the appropriate heading for your os (x86 or 64):

;

;Galaxy Tab 10.1

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&REV_9999&MI_01

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&MI_01

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6601

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000

src: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1064793

then rienstall the driver.

if you still cant get fastboot going:

delete the fastboot/adb driver in device manager and/or via usbdeview

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

then unplug, replug. let it reinstall the driver.

you should be good now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
pershoot's the pro here. not me. take his advice. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
Oh man i am so frustrated LOL,,, i am on a windows 7 32bit machine and I have tried all of these hints and still i can only connect through ADB?

I try fastboot anything while in cmd and it just sits there saying waiting for device??

I have tried to uninstall the kies drivers and use the ones you listed and nothing seems to work???

I assume that with the Google io tab it would connect like any other android device that I have owned where you plug in the usb and it brings up the devices drive?

I can ADB push files all day long but nothing in fastboot,,,or even see the disk drive of the galaxy tab?

I tried all of these procedures on three different machines and each with the same lacking in results? I even tried to toggle off and on the USB debugging and that does nothing. I can ADB like a champ but thats it LOL

Is there any other way to push the recovery? I pushed the zip file to the sd card and extracted the image can i push it somehow in adb?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
Start from scratch, remove what u have via usb deview that's attributed to the device, reinstall sammy drivers, remove the fastboot driver in device manager and let it reinstall.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
Ok I removed them via usbdeview and then reinstalled,,,,but i see nothing in device manage on my computer that says fastboot drivers to remove?

In device manager i have this

Samsung android phone

Samsung Android ADB interface

and thats it?

Q:

What is the Stock IO Recovery they mention on Droid basement?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
the recovery that came with the galaxy tab 10.1 IO 2011 limited edition device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
Awesome! Thanks, Pershoot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] blue13x:
Let's say you created a system dump which includes some none-factory apps.

When you restore the image, those apps would be there. So, when I do a reset, from the control panel....would those none-factory apps go away?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
Is cw recovery or root or busybox preventing the ota update to 3.1? I tried it three times, each one failed?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
Yes.

Go back to stock recovery and get ota.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
is anyone attmepting to make a flashable zip to use in clockwork of 3.1? I would if i could but i cant LOL, in other words is it worth it for the 3.1 update?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
why do you need this?

you have the ability to take backups pre/post.

you can restore/backup at will.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
correct me if i am wrong but i have to go back to stock everything if i want the OTA? Meaning stock recovery, no su or busybox, then get the update and reroot and hope that I can fastboot clockwork rec back in order to get back where i was from here right?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
you have to go back to stock recovery.

2nd link in dload page on droidbasement.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

you dont lose superuser perms. your bootloader is unlocked. you can do whatever you want to the tab at a low level.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CrazyCoder:
Weird, with CW recovery it was trying to update and then failed at 13%. I've flashed the stock recovery and now it just power off and shows battery after I try to install OTA.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
cool doing it now thank you
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
ok maybe i will wait LOL
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
even with stock recovery it stops at 13%.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
my boot image has insecure ro (from the tools pack). ill revert that temp, and it should go.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CrazyCoder:
I've flashed stock boot.img and recovery.img, after updater is rebooting I can see only battery (device turns off), no update is applied.

Any additional steps I should perform?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
you need to unplug your USB. the device goes in to the battery state when it is plugged in (it always did this).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
In English please LOL how do we do that?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
when i get OTA to go ill post instructions.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CrazyCoder:
Thanks a lot! That was it. Now it goes beyond 13%, will see if it completes fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
perfect thank you!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
good luck, let us know please
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CrazyCoder:
The update went fine, so for those having problems ensure that:

1. you have stock recovery.img

2. you have stock boot.img

3. you unplug the device from USB before it's rebooted by updater

Stock images can be obtained from:

http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/sys-backup/

Reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader), unzip them and flash while in bootloader (ensure that you have drivers from Android SDK installed and device is visible by 'fastboot devices' command):

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

edit: if you were using custom recovery, you need to boot into the stock recovery once after flashing it back (adb reboot recovery).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
awesome thank you for this,,,were you able to fastboot cw recovery back?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CrazyCoder:
Yes, it flashes just fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SS2006:
can we still root tho, since everything is now stock, and a new update 3.1 is applied, aka is 3.1 rootable
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
hmm well mine goes farther to 29 percent then stops? I have stock boot and recovery???

Checking to see if rom manager is holding anything up so i deleted it

nope always at 29 percent hmmmm
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CrazyCoder:
Root remains, or you can root it again like before. Bootloader is still unlocked and you can do anything you want just like with 3.0.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CrazyCoder:
If is hangs, you should wait more. If it stops updating and reboots, then there is something else, like some removed stock application from /system.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SS2006:
my windows 7 64 bit cant seem to communicate when in fastboot mode, any drivers guys?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
I swear i have to be the unluckiest guy using android LOL i even factory reset and it still stops at 29 percent
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
Adding to the instructions already posted.

You must boot to stock recovery once ater flashing (if you were on cwm), reboot, then get the ota. Otherwise it will dload but not prompt you to reboot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SS2006:
i need some sort of 'fastboot driver'
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
I did all that but got stuck @ 13% again. All i had was rooted device
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CrazyCoder:
Use drivers from Android SDK, update device driver manually pointing to the inf file.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SS2006:
i did, nothing

wierd
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
I went on Kies and it says "this version of firmware can not be updated"? Should I do a factory reset? I did flash boot.img and recovery.img provided up there but still @ 13%
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
i get three soft vibrations right after it asks to reboot is that normal? then it reboots and tries to update and stops at 29 percent weird I am stock everything except su?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] michaelw9:
Is anyone having trouble getting the update now?

I tried it twice and it failed -- I had not gone back into the stock recovery after reflashing it -- but now when I try to click 'Check for update' I immediately get a 'Connection failed' :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SS2006:
yup same here, says no update available

fml

did someone pull it out of cahce, maybe a cwm zip
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
i think i got the farthest with 29 percent LOL then it reboots
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
I get the same thing and did a factory reset
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
Did it help. I have tried everything that I have seen in this thread but not going further than 13%
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SS2006:

Mine does update fine(download) but when it goes to update in fails @ 13%
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
no it still updates to 29 percent and then reboots
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] michaelw9:
The connection is back on. It just downloaded again now. I did a complete factory reset/data wipe from the stock recovery. Hopefully this will finally update now.

i just checked. no go (from germany).

ill try from UK again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] michaelw9:
Damn. Mine stopped at 27% and rebooted, same error message. I'm not sure what else to do. It's been re-flashed with the stock recovery, stock boot img, I've loaded back into the stock recovery, and I've also done a complete wipe from the stock recovery. What else can I try?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
Pulling hair now...

after all img flashing superuser is still here...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SS2006:
ya...support / dev has been non existent on this device

sad...

moreso disappointed with samsung, thier servers are down now

when i had the xoom the update was ready to go in hours, they also have overclocks, roms etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SS2006:
and this tab came unlocked, is open, dev friendly, and we can't even frigin update it properly cause its rooted or something, did google/samsung really expect a developer tablet to be STOCK :S
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] quaa:
yeah kind of annoyed. I had to first get drivers working on my mac, then fastboot the tab to update the boot and recovery back to stock, now when i try to update it the server is down.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SS2006:
I can't even fasrboot keep getting driver errors on win 7 :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
This is the absolute worst tab to connect to the computer,,,get this,,, i could never connect it using mtp to transfer files to and from the tab until now when i flashed the boot.img and the stock recovery,,,and NOWWWW LOL i cant connect to fastboot LOL i give up LOL i have had 4 other tabs and this is the worst! Never again Samsung, here i thought the xoom sucked LOL.

I have fastboot connection on another computer LOL but have absolutely no idea what I did to get it LOL
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
What i think is really wierd is that 5000 of these tabs was given to supposed dev's at the Google I/O conference and I see maybe what one here????? I bought mine off of Ebay in the hopes that this thing would be full of dev support LOL did they all sell them?????
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
Many of web developers and android developers not actual firmware developer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
Did you try to update the SDK? I can't remember how I did it either but I will check right now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
True but there has got to be one that can zip up the update so we can flash in clockwork?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
Fastboot in win X64

When you are in fast boot and connected to your phone, go to your device manager and find the USB which says something like " error, or can not find" something that shows one of the devices has problem in connecting. then you can right click and select update driver software and then select second option "brows my computer" and direct it either to SDK USB folder AndroidSDK\extras\google\usb_driver and it should pick it up.

I had a hard time do this before but it should work. If you don't have the SDK then you are running fastboot off a folder then I can give you the drivers.

Cheers,

EDIT: Link to USB folder to use if you don't have the Android SDK on your PC. I hope it works.http://www.multiupload.com/6DVE7BQHIF
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
mine says Nvidia android fastboot and it looks like it is installed right? I unistalled it anyway and let it boot back up in fasttboot and it installed the same driver and still fastboot is not recognized?

well, I am failing on the update as well. I even zipped the image and tried to install from recovery and it failed.... don't know what else to do. :confused:

yea i semi-fooled it from my previous attempt (which dloaded successfully). restored what it needed to complete.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
how in zeus's butthole did you get it to load 100 percent?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
my problem was since I rooted, I got rid of some system apps so I just copy the whole thing back(not a smart way because you get whole bunch of force close) but I did let it run till the copy is done and then restart(I tried power and volume down I guess it worked)

then download got some server fail but it did it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
maybe i will try that then, hell i dont know LOL
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
Yes, superuser doesn't go away. Installed Titanium backups and no problem its running. So far so good. Sorry if yours has not worked out yet. It will.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
so you just copied the system/app from the old dump over to your system/app of the tab then rebooted and downloaded the update?
