adb devices
Quote:In this tutorial, I'll be explaining how to setup or install ADB and Fastboot including their drivers I won't get down to breaking down what ADB & Fastboot are for but basically, they're command line tools which are very useful when you want to tweak or modify anything on an Android phone. Just look up what they're for. What we'll be needing for this is just the installer although there's a manual method you could use but to make it easier for you to setup, I'll be using an installer method. First download the setup installer [link in description].
Run as Administrator in case you run into some privilege issues. Alright! I click Yes Here's the setup. For this part, it says Do you want to install adb and fastboot. I Tap the y key and Enter Next option is install adb system-wise [car horn] i.e do you want to install adb for all users or a particular which is going to be C:\users\user-name. I want to install it system-wide i.e anybody can access adb So I leave it as Yes (y) here and tap Enter. I'll just give it time to install. Now, its done installing as you can see Its asking me do you want to install device drivers.
These drivers are your Android USB drivers which is going to help your PC communicate with your phone when connected via USB cord. Of course you would want to install these drivers so I just select y (Yes) here and tap Enter. A wizard pops up. click Next - Finish and you're done. I want to be sure my adb is all set up so what you do is go to the C: You can see the adb folder, open it. Now, to launch adb, if you double-click this, all you'll get is this which is what most people do. You're not supposed to double-click. This is not how you run adb or fastboot
To run it what you'll need to do is look at your keyboard (laptop or desktop PC), you hold down the Shift button While holding down your Shift button, you right-click on.. you need to unselect if highlighting any item like this (else) it going to give you an issue. Click on any empty space here (to unhighlight) While holding down Shift, your right-click. You can release your Shift at this point. From the menu here, you just click Open command window here. You'll have your command line interface.
I have my phone connected to the PC [reconnecting] to test that my adb is working, I just type adb devices and I press Enter. My device is detected so that means my adb is all set up. I could go ahead to test fastboot so I boot into fastboot with my phone connected with adb reboot-bootloader and press Enter to enter fastboot Once the phone is in fastboot, I am good to go on my commands. What I have on my phone is fastboot mode.. with a blanks screen. I'll run a fastboot command to be sure my fastboot is also working.I'll say fastboot devices
Alright! My device is detected. That's how to setup ADB & fastboot on your Windows PC
