I think things have changed since you started this work a while back -- hey, it's android, right? First off, my phone when turned on says 'fastboot mode'. Does this maybe mean it's already unlocked? It certainly doesn't match what the various sites say I should expect to see. It does indicate that it is locked, however. Second off, I just pulled this down: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (the mac version), patiently waited while I did a tools/android update sdk and got lots and lots and lots of stuff, but ... no fastboot. The link on this page http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot goes to an HTC site -- is that really what I want for a samsung phone? Ah, ok, went to the linux tools and it's there. So, first step, everyone: in spite of the docs you see on many Android pages, you may not have fastboot on OSX. Just Linux. ron
