Nightcac Android -
Android ADB & Fastboot are the two terms that you must have heard of while exploring the custom recoveries, unlocking bootloader, or rooting your device by flashing
.img files. Basically
ADB stands for
Android Debug Bridge that helps you to establish connection between your PC and your Phone, this can be accomplished by turning on USB debugging mode in your phone under the settings tab > developer options, while the
Fastboot mode can be turned on by bringing your phone in Fastboot and plugging in the USB data cable. Fastboot mode helps you to flash .img files and several other similar tasks. Well, to install Android ADB & Fastboot drivers on your windows PC you need to install
Android SDK tools and use the Platform tools.
How to Install Android ADB & Fastboot Drivers
- Download the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Drivers tool: Link 1 | Link 2
- Run the minimaltool.exe file that you downloaded and install the tool.
- You can run the tool now by either through the Start menu, through the icon that you created on the desktop or by opening Program files > Minimal ADB & Fastboot > Right click on an empty area while keeping the shift key pressed and click on “Open Command Window Here”.
- Use the Command prompt to do whatever you want now!
- To install any .img file, you will have to place that file in the Minimal Tool folder that is located under Program files.
- To access the Fastboot mode, you’ll have to first bring the Fastboot mode on your device and then connect it. E.g on HTC devices you can highlight Fastboot mode by accessing it through HBoot and then connect it, while on Sony you can turn off the device and then while keeping the back or volume up key pressed plug in the USB cable.
- That’s All! You’ve successfully installed Android ADB & Fastboot drivers. I hope that it didn’t take more than 2 minutes for you.
