Thanks so much for getting back with me. With a week or so off from this, I'm ready to come back to it with "fresh eyes". I was getting frustrated beyond all hell so I know that's when to stop... else, I'll most likely pull out all my hair. Plus, I know look silly with a bald head! Ok, so I know my A2109 isn't being recognized as I type "fastboot oem unlock" (or "fastboot-mac oem unlock") and get the following (pronounced THE FINGER) < waiting for device >So, I know I can't flash CWM or even TWRP so it's a moot point to copy anything over at this point. I'm still stuck at unlocking the bootloader. Ideas? Suggestions? Helpful Mac/Linux hints?
Ok, that first menu you mention is the bootloader menu. It's actually your first stop. That's where you unlock the bootloader: fastboot oem unlock. Then, you'll want to flash ClockworkMod (cwm). You'll have to copy the ROM and SuperUser files over to the tablet too. The easiest way is to just boot the tablet. Oh, and while you're there, make sure USB debugging is enabled in Settings->Developer options. You won't get far without that. In fact, fastboot may not work without it (type 'fastboot devices' in bootloader mode to see if you are connected).Sorry my message is a bit disordered. Boot your tablet, check USB debugging, copy those two files over, then boot into the bootloader menu to unlock the bootloader and flash cwm. Let me know how that goes.
