The Android operating system is widely used across smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, smart TVs, and more, making it the most popular OS in the world. The customizable features and user-friendly options are the two main reasons for its widespread popularity. The Android ecosystem allows users to customize, install, and modify various files on their devices. One such method to execute commands via PC is ADB Fastboot.

This article will guide you on downloading and installing ADB and Fastboot on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11.

We all know that Android OS devices are easily customizable with the advantages of flashing custom firmware, installing custom recovery, flashing custom modules, unlocking the bootloader, flashing root access, and so on. If you’re new to flashing a third-party firmware or unlocking the bootloader, it’s better to use the PC’s ADB Fastboot (Platform Tools) to run commands to the connected Android device easily. ADB driver is also a necessary part of Android development.

What is ADB?

Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a client-server program that allows users to easily connect an Android device and a Windows computer using the USB driver. As mentioned above, ADB is an important part of the Android Software Development Kit (Android SDK).

You can run an ADB command on your Android device via the Platform Tools using a computer to transfer files, install or uninstall apps, flash firmware, unlock the device bootloader, and more. It basically makes it easy for you to complete the required development work or even test some aspects on the Android handset.

What is Fastboot?

Fastboot is a protocol that usually upgrades the flashable file system on Android devices. This tool works as an alternative method to the recovery mode for implementing updates and installations. Whenever your device boots in the Fastboot mode, you can easily modify or tweak system image files from the PC via a USB connection.

These days most Android devices do support Fastboot mode and Google made it easy for users and developers to use the Android SDK Platform Tools to get the combined benefit of ADB and Fastboot.

Steps to Install ADB and Fastboot on Windows

Now, you’re ready to get into the file copying or transferring process to your Android device via a computer with the help of ADB commands. So, without further ado, let’s proceed.

• First, connect your Android device to your computer using the USB cable properly.
• We assume you’ve already installed the Android USB Driver on your system. If not, do it now. [Important]
• Obviously, you’ve enabled USB Debugging too. If not, do it right now. [Important]
• Next, you have to extract the downloaded ADB and Fastboot Tools on your PC to a suitable place like the desktop screen or inside any folder/drive.
• Open the extracted Android SDK Platform Tools (ADB and Fastboot Tools) folder.
• Press and hold the Shift key + mouse right-click on an empty space inside the folder.

• It’ll open a context menu and you’ll have to select Open PowerShell window here. (On some PCs, it’ll look like Open command window here)
• If prompted, click on Yes to open the command window.
• Now, you’ll need to input the following ADB command and hit Enter to connect your Android device in the ADB Mode:

adb devices

• Once you can see a specific device ID on the command prompt window, that means your device is successfully connected in ADB mode.
• Now, you can proceed with your respective ADB commands, whatever you want to run.

Please be aware that if the connection is lost, you should re-enable the USB Debugging feature on your device and reconnect it using the USB data cable. Then, retry the Android SDK Platform Tools steps with the command line “adb devices” to ensure the mode is correct.
