How to Install ADB and Fastboot (with drivers) on Windows: Quickest Setup
Install ADB and Fastboot (with drivers) on Windows: Quickest Setup
If you’ve ever done anything related to root or modding your Android device, you have probably heard of ADB and Fastboot stuff. Both the tools are used to send terminal commands to an Android device from a PC command line.
What’s ADB? ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge. It works when the device is powered on and booted into OS or Recovery. The tool helps in sending basic linux commands, and a variety Android specific commands from PC to connected Android devices.
What’s Fastboot? Fastboot is a more powerful tool than ADB and it works only in bootloader/fastboot mode. It allows you to re-flash system partitions on your Android device and requires a device with an unlocked bootloader. It’s particularly useful when you want to update your device manually or in a rare situation when you accidentally soft-brick your device and need to install a clean stock system image.
Download the adb-setup-1.4.2.exe file from the download link above.
Double-click/Run the adb-setup-1.4.2.exe file.
You will see a command prompt window with blue background. Say YES to all the prompts on this screen.
└ To say YES, just type Y and hit enter.
Once ADB, Fastboot and Drivers are installed, the setup window will automatically close and you’ll have a working ADB and Fastboot setup throughout your system. Enjoy!
