I usually just copy adb and fastboot into the image directory and hit the flash-all.bat,but the path it gets installed to is "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
Cheers!

I have Windows 10 installed on four PCs (two desktops and two laptops) without a single problem. PCs, I might add, that I have torn down and replaced various bits on...changed graphics cards, upgraded to SSD drives. All rock solid.
For ADB, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
It is small, pretty much fool-proof (every time I say that, someone proves me wrong) and has a support forum.

ive been reading all the root threads for at least the 10th time just to get a handle on the setup. havnt noticed if anyone said you can do it on a mac though. i d/led all the needed files and tried extracting the boot img file. wouldnt give me an extract option on my right click so i kinda stopped there. also very unfamiliar with the adb stuff so if anyone could help with that, i would be more than appreciative.
also, this isnt my first rooted device. ive had my dx rooted for some time now but wow was that was so much easier as far as i can tell. even rooted my thrive too and it seemed a lil more complicated like this but that was around xmas time so i dont remember a thing. thanx in advance

I've heard that there's a mobile version of Odin (Mobile Odin, IIRC) that works on the GSIII- can't rememeber if it worked on the VZW version though. I've typically avoided Samsung phones myself because I run only Linux and Samsung always relies on Windows-only programs like Odin and Kies (sp?) which doesn't do me any good. If you've only got Mac's then you're in the same boat too.
I'm on VZW myself and am holding my breath that the Developer version of the phone won't require the darn Windows programs to hack around on.
Thanks for the info. I do have a pc but its value $300 pos my mom bought for words with friends lol. Just really don't trust it

I used my mac to root but technically I kinda cheated. I used Boot Camp to run ODIN to root the phone, but I couldn't get the Android SDK to detect Java so I ended up using Terminal in OS X for adb to push a recovery. If you don't have windows, you can try and download a trial of Parallels 7 for 30 days. They let you use the consumer preview version of Windows 8 for free as well. I haven't tested ODIN on Windows 8 but maybe it will work.
For those unfamiliar with Android SDK and adb in OS X using terminal, basically you download and extract the platform-tools to a location. So for example I used my home folder "/Users/kthung/platform-tools" open up terminal and cd to that location and then you should be able to use any adb commands as usual BUT you need to add a "./" in front of every adb command. So for example "adb shell" becomes "./adb shell"
I tried to post this in the "Beginners Guide for Rooting" but I do not have privileges. I am trying to root my new s3 on a mac so I am trying to follow the guidance in section one of the guide. However the links for samsung drivers are in an .exe format and the link to the java jdk files has expired. I downloaded the samsung drivers from the link and opened the (.exe) file and I attempted to install another version of the java jdk. When I connect Adam's casual the app recognizes my phone but I am unable to see it on my Mac through Finder. Am I ready to flash if the casual app can see my phone? Or do I need the osx compatible samsung drivers (not with a .exe filename) and a specific version of java jdk?
Thanks in advanced for any help. I tried to search for the answers but I have been coming up empty. Even though casual see's my phone, I'm still not sure if its ok to start flashing.

I don't remember if my phone showed up on my Mac in finder, but Adam's casual recognized my phone, I rooted and unlocked using the tool and have been flashing ROMS ever since.

Did you download the samsung drivers in the link ( the .exe files) and install them on your mac? Also do you still have a copy of the java jdk files? The link in the "guide " is dead or the files have been moved. Thanks.
Mine did not show up in finder. I did have to download another program to interface with the phone. Just run Casuals and you will be fine.

If I remember correctly, you can't download the samsung drivers on a Mac. And no, sorry I don't have the files
There is no drivers for mac. The only thing that will show is a sdcard if you have one. You are good to use Casual.

Mine doesn't show the sdcard. I can use ADB but that's the only way I can communicate to my device over USB. I have't tried Casual.
Well I finally got home so I could use my Mac with my phone. Casuals worked great a couple of weeks ago as did adb. Now, I can't get either to work. I read that some are having issues with the usb ports on the newer MacBook Pros. I will do a little know testing and see if I can find a way to make it work post back. I tried rebooting, different cables, etc with no luck. If anyone knows anything, please chime in.

Okay, after a lot of digging, I finally figured out what I did. I take no credit for this, I found it on here in reply to a thread somewhere. I can't remember where as I usually view this site on my cell phone.
sudo kextunload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
from a terminal. I forget if you have to reboot or not.
This will disable tethering, but you can now see your device via adb.
To renable tethering once you're done debugging, use
sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
This is for EasyTether only, but I am sure that there could be another type of app that would do the same thing? If you could isolate the app, it should be as easy as replacing the EasyTether part of the command and running that. Good luck, I personally know how aggravating that things like this can be.
I have been using a windows 7 pc for a while to flash fast boot's. But, recently, I bought a windows 8 pc, and now (no matter what I try) I can't get adb to work. Did any of you guys manage to get it to work? I am screwed?
You can always try using a live CD or run a distro off a flash drive for dedicated developing. Puppy linux works beautifully. Buy a cheapo 4gb drive from a retail chain!
Make sure you're using the correct driver version, win 8 has a finicky install process where it draws the files from the internet even if it's not really correct.
Try manual installation.

You cant downgrade an existing windows instalation.
If you are trying to install XP on a formatted HD, be sure to use an USB 2.0 port, i had errors doing it thru an USB 3.0 slot.
Be sure to format your USB to FAT32, unpack the .ISO to it, and just that on the stick.
I do a lot installations for friends, and that is a good start...

I use ultra iso to unpack, should i just extract the iso to usb stick?

Hmm... guys when you move from Windows 7 to Windows XP on most laptops you need to use Sata Drivers because Windows XP does not have these drivers ( of course if you have not already the option to select AHCI/RAID mode).
If you want to slipstream ( add ) Sata Drivers into Windows XP image installation you have to use "Nlite". The google is "full" with infos about this procedure.
May be some problem with DotNet framework
If you were me i would say install Linux but you are not me so here try this
Install vmware or virtual box And then install windows xp in it while still having 7 as host machine

You must access the official page of your laptop and search in driver list, must contain something like that in its name "SATA AHCI Controller".
I cant post links because I am a new user of this forum but you can search on google for "How to slipstream Sata Drivers with Nlite".

Yes just unpack them (with 7zip, winrar,...) to the root of the USB stick and boot from the stick
Sata drivers would be needed only on some older or exotic hardware
Did you try with some other iso, are you sure its a good one ?
Also, are the latest updates incorporated....(drivers have been added also in later builds)
I wouldnt go to far in checking for errors, if windows setup starts and finds your hd its ok.
If there are errors while installing its just because the installer can't find something....
btw: are you trying the setup from within windows or a clean install ?

I know, thats why i asked about the .iso used
If its dowloaded from somewhere, most likely the drivers have been slipstreamed.
and as stated in the OP he tried with a different iso and got different errors
and they are read errors.
So nothing to do with some driver

Yeah, I understand... these days it's hard to find a "celan and stable" Windows. A lot of friends ask me if I have one but most of time the .iso was touched and full of bugs.
Personally I use dual bot with W7 and Ubuntu 12.04.
It is good to slipstream yourself the drivers into a clean .iso if driver missing is the problem of course...
I have the drivers downloaded, but i install them after windows.

You need to download Android File Transfer on macs. I actually find it better than windows since I don't have to fiddle with drivers to get adb and fastboot working.

You have to be in the directory where adb is and use ./adb instead of just adb.
I would really recommend using this tutorial and getting everything setup where you don't have to do that every time.
