For each mobile device, you need to download only those drivers and files that are intended specifically for it. Otherwise, there may be problems with the operation of your smartphone, and even worse, failure. Therefore, be careful when performing any action with your smartphone.

The ADB driver (Android Debug Bridge) is designed for smartphones, which connects the device to a computer, where it is possible to control its operation via the command line.
Fastboot mode is designed to reset factory settings and install firmware on a smartphone.

Complete step-by-step instructions for installing ADB/Fastboot drivers under Windows

1/ Download the ADB/Fastboot driver and install it in the root of the C:\ drive, creating a folder named “Android”.

2/ On your smartphone, go to “Settings” in the “For Developer” section. Read how to unlock this option.

3/ In the “For Developer” section, enable “USB Debugging” and “ADB Debugging”.

4/ Connect the smartphone to the computer using a USB cable.

5/ In our case, our smartphone is not recognized. We go to the “Device Manager” on the computer and see the following:

6/ Right-click on “ADB Interface”, select “Software Update”.

7/ A window pops up where we select the option “Search for drivers on this computer.”

8/ Another window opens where OS Windows prompts us to specify the search path for the driver. Select the option “Select from the list of devices on my computer.”

9/ In the next window, look for and select the “Android device” option.

10/ The following window opens with a list of drivers previously installed on Windows.

11/ If the window is empty, then click the “Search on disk” option below the list. We go to the folder where we previously installed the ADB drivers (C:\Android - in our case), click OK.

12/ All drivers are fully installed!

13/ In order to check the correct installation of drivers, go to our “Android” folder and press the key combination: Shift + right mouse button. In the menu that appears, select “Open command line.” Next, on the command line, enter the command "adb devices".

14/ If you did everything correctly, you will see the following on the screen:

In order to work in Fastboot mode, we do all these points again, except points 2 and 4. Instead, just go to Fastboot and connect to the computer. We check by entering the command "fastboot devices" to the command line.

If you have a phone or tablet running Android OS, then you probably want to connect it to your Windows 10 device, for example, to transfer files. In this case, we recommend downloading ADB drivers for Windows 10 - special file libraries that simplify the operation of two devices on different OSes.

Peculiarities

• Transfer files from device to device;
• Get ROOT rights to Android OS;

If this version of drivers suddenly does not suit you, then don’t worry, you can always download - this is a universal program for automatically searching and installing any drivers, including ADB.

Despite the fact that the program is completely free, it is very functional. Version available in Russian and English. For those who want to simultaneously download an antivirus program to avoid infecting their smartphone, we recommend using

The ADB and Fastboot utilities are included in the Android SDK development kit (do not confuse it with Android Studio, much less download its cumbersome installation file, unless, of course, you intend to develop for Android). ADB is a debugging tool that allows you to access the Android console from a computer (more details →) by connecting the gadget to the PC via USB. Debugging must be enabled. Fastboot is designed to work with the device when it is loaded in the mode of the same name (if your device has one).

Using ADB, you can manage your smartphone/tablet from your computer: make a backup of applications, reset your graphic password, record a screencast, put your smartphone in Recovery mode, and much more. In addition, you can work with ADB via Wi-Fi. To do this, your device must have root rights, and you will also need a special application that connects to your computer over the network. For example, ADB Wireless or WiFi ADB. But this is material for a separate article.

Using Fastboot, you can install firmware, custom Recovery (TWRP or CWM), unlock Bootloader (on HTC, Motorola, Sony, Nexus, Huawei devices, the latest LG it is blocked), and clean system partitions.

How to install ADB and Fastboot: instructions

1. First of all, go to the official website, where you can download the Android SDK: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html. We go down to the bottom of the page to the “Get just the command line tools” section and select downloading the archive for windows.

2. Download it and unzip it to the root of Drive “C:”.

3. You also need to download the Java Development Kit from the official page. Go to it, select “JDK”, agree to the license by checking the required box and download the version that matches the bit size of your system.

After that, install the downloaded package.

4. Then return to the Android SDK folder, open “tools” and run “android”.

Check "Android SDK Platform-tools" (and also "Google USB driver" if you have a Nexus device) and click "Install Packages".

Read below about installing drivers for other devices.

5. Select "Accept License" and click "Install".

6. My log showed that an error occurred during the installation process. But in the end everything ended successfully.

Upon completion of the above steps, “platform-tools” will appear in the “tools_version-windows” folder, and it will contain “ADB” and “Fastboot” of interest to us.

Installing ADB and Fastboot drivers for Windows

In order for the computer to correctly recognize a smartphone or tablet, you need to load the USB driver:

There are various universal ADB driver installers (for example, this one: http://adbdriver.com/downloads/) - they can also be used, for example, when for some reason it was not possible to install the official solution.

If your model comes with a driver without an installer, you will have to do the following:

1. Go to “Control Panel” → “Device Manager”. In Windows 10, just right-click on the Start menu and select “Device Manager”.

2. Find in the list the device for which you need to install drivers. Right-click and click “Update Drivers”.

As you can see, the computer correctly recognizes my Nexus 7 tablet. If your PC detects the smartphone incorrectly or there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside next to the device, “manual” installation of Android drivers is required for you.

3. Select “Browse this computer for driver software.”

4. Specify the path to the driver folder on your PC.

Wait until the installation is complete and then reconnect the gadget to your computer via USB.

How to get started with Fastboot and ADB

Working with ADB or Fastboot is done from the command line; you can enter it in two ways:

Method 1: Right-click on “Start” and select “Command Prompt (Administrator)”. Next, using the commands, you need to go to the folder with ADB and Fastboot (after entering each, press “Enter”).

To return to the root of the "C:\" drive, use:

Thanks to this command we open the desired folder:

In my case it turned out like this:

cd \tools_version-windows\platform-tools

The path to Fastboot and ADB has been specified, now you can work with them from the console.

Method 2: Go to the “tools_version-windows” folder, then, while holding “Shift”, right-click on an empty space and select “Open Command Window”.

Enter the following to check how your PC sees Android:

Don't forget that USB debugging must be enabled to work with ADB! You will find more useful commands in the previous article, the link is at the beginning of this post.

adb program. Installation and configuration of the system. Instructions

Almost every owner of an Android device who has decided to improve their favorite by replacing the firmware or operating system kernel comes across the adb program.

For most beginners, it is this program that becomes an insurmountable obstacle, and today we will tell you how to install and start working with this wonderful application, which will help you, for example, get root rights on your device, flash a new version of Android, or even restore your phone or tablet to to the initial state after unsuccessful intervention in the system.

So what is ADB, beloved by all modders and hackers, where can we get it, and why do we need it?

What is ADB.

The abbreviation ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge. ADB is part of the Android SDK, which can be downloaded from here.

Since the Android operating system is a variant of Linux, setting it up often requires working through the command line. Of course, there are programs - terminal emulators that allow you to execute commands directly on the device, but, firstly, it is inconvenient to do this on a small phone screen, and secondly, sometimes you need access to the device via a computer, and in these and many other cases the program adb is simply irreplaceable. The adb program establishes a connection between the device and the computer and allows you to perform various manipulations with the Android system directly on the computer.

How to install ADB.

First of all, we recommend that you download the latest version of the Android SDK; at the time of writing this guide, version r11 is available, all further descriptions are based on its example, and in earlier versions, the location of the necessary programs after installing the SDK may differ from what is described here.

1. Download the Android SDK, it can be found at the link provided earlier. There are several types of SDK, for Microsoft windows, Mac OS and Linux.

We will need a version for Microsoft windows. And here there are two options - download the installer or zip archive from the Android SDK. We don’t need the installer, especially since it won’t allow you to install the SDK in Windows 7, so we download the zip archive.

The archive contains the android-sdk-windows folder, which contains the SDK itself. Unpack it onto your computer. In our example, we placed the folder in the root of drive C. If you do the same, the path to the SDK will be like this: C:\android-sdk-windows

In earlier versions of the SDK, the adb program we needed was located inside this folder in the tools folder, but later it was moved by the developers to the platform-tools folder.

However, if you go to this folder, you will not find the adb program inside it, so let's move on to the next installation step.

2. Install SDK Platform Tools. Make sure that our computer is connected to the Internet and launch the SDK Manager program located in the android-sdk-windows folder. After starting the program, the following window will appear:

We need to download and install Android SDK Platform-tools and Android SDK Tools.

By double clicking on an item or by clicking on “Accept” and “Reject”, we mark these two items in the list and uncheck all other items, as shown in the above screenshot. Then click “Install” and wait until the components we need are downloaded and installed.

Now we have adb installed on our computer, but to work with our phone or tablet we will need to install their driver and for further convenience with the program, it would be nice to write the path to it and other components in the windows system.

3. If we go to the folder C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\, we can now find the adb program there.

After this, we need to edit the PATH system variable so that every time we start the program and enter commands we do not have to type the path to the program, which looks like this:

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb

If you have never edited system variables, create a system restore point so that you can later return it to its original state.

If you have Windows 7 installed, right-click on the “Computer” shortcut, select “properties” and in the window that opens, select “Advanced system settings”.

If you have Windows XP, right-click on “My Computer” and then on “Properties”

In the next window, on the “Advanced” tab, click on the “Environment Variables” button. In the “System Variables” list, select the “path” variable and click the “Change...” button.

The variable editing window will open, and in the “variable value” item, at the very end of the line, after the semicolon, add the path to the tools folder and the platform-tools folder:

;c:\android-sdk-windows\tools;c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;

(if there was no semicolon at the end of the line, add one - each path in this line must be separated from the other by a semicolon)

If you installed the Android SDK in a different folder, write your path to the tools and platform-tools folders at the end of the line.

Installing device drivers.

Some devices, such as Samsung phones and tablets, have their own software for synchronizing with a computer, and if you have it installed on your computer, then the device driver is already installed on your system.

But for devices like the Nexus One, which come without any additional software or drivers, drivers must be installed to work with the Android SDK.

To do this, go to the folder where we installed the SDK and launch SDK Manager.

In the same way as we installed Android SDK Platform-tools and Android SDK Tools, find and select “Google Usb Driver package” from the list. Click “Install” and wait for the program to download the drivers. Drivers for 32 and 64 bit Windows will be downloaded to the following folder:

C:\1\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver

You can now install drivers for your device. To do this, in the settings menu of your phone or tablet, select the “Applications” item, and in it enable “USB debugging”.

We connect our device to the computer. The computer will detect new hardware and prompt you to install drivers. We install the drivers from the folder where they were downloaded earlier.

After installing the drivers, a new device “ADB Interface” will appear in the device manager and we can verify this by opening it by right-clicking on the “Computer” icon -> “Properties” -> “Device Manager”

In addition, you can try installing a universal ADB driver on your computer.

How to launch ADB

The best way to work with the adb program is through the Windows command line. To open the command line on a computer with Windows XP, click “Start” and in the “Run” input field type cmd and press “Enter”.

On a computer with Windows 7, click “Start” and in the “Search programs and files” input field, type cmd and press “Enter”.

A command line window will open, and in order, for example, to see what devices we have connected to the computer, we type the command in it

The adb program will display a list of devices currently connected to the computer.

How to install and configure ADB, Android Debug Bridge

ADB, Android Debug Bridge - This command line utility is included in Google's Android SDK. With this utility you can: copy files to and from the device, install and uninstall applications, perform backups and restores, and much more using commands.

Installing Java JDK and Android SDK

Before installing the Android SDK, you must first install the Oracle Java Development Kit. You can download the JDK from the Oracle website, even if you have a 64-bit system - you still download and install for 32-bit.

After installing the JDK, you need to download and install the Android SDK. When you go to the download page, you don’t need to immediately download Android Studio, it weighs more than 1GB, scroll down the page and select Android SDK => on the next page, check the box “I have read and agree with the above terms and conditions” and click “ "Download"

Setting up Android SDK

The downloaded program archive takes up about 200MB; it needs to be unpacked to a location convenient for you. Installing this program just involves unpacking it to a place convenient for you :)

Now open the folder you unpacked and run the SDK Manager file => uncheck all the boxes, leave only Android SDK Platform-tools => click Install 1 package...

In the next window you need to agree to the license - check the Accept License box and click Install

The loading will begin in the next window; you will need to wait for the message Done loading packages and click Close.

Enable USB Debugging

On Android devices, to use ADB, you need to enable "USB Debugging". This function is located in the settings on your device, in the "Developer Options" menu.

Check ADB and install device drivers

Open the folder with android sdk => open the platform-tools folder inside => in the address bar enter cmd and press Enter

A command line will open in the platform-tools folder, now to check the operation of the ADB application, you need to connect your Android device via a USB cable to the computer (USB debugging must be enabled on it) => enter the adb devices command and press Enter

If the device is connected and after entering the command you do not see it in the list, you need to install drivers for it.

That is, go to the official website of the manufacturer of your device => search for your model => download drivers => install them on your computer.

You can also try Google USB Drivers, they can be downloaded via the Android SDK and are suitable for most devices

If you want to connect a device using Google USB Drivers, you will most likely have to do it manually:

1.Go to the device manager (press the Win+R keys and enter the command devmgmt.msc in the window that appears);

2.Connect your device to your computer and see if it is listed in the device manager. If it is detected as an unknown device or with a yellow exclamation mark, right-click on it and select "Update drivers"

3. Select "Search for drivers on this computer"

4. Click browse and look for the ADB folder, the drivers are located in it at \extras\google => select and click "Next"

After installing the drivers, you can check again whether your device is visible using the adb devices command, as described above. If this command shows interaction with a phone or tablet, you can start using ADB.

In the following articles we will look at various commands for working in ADB. If you have any additions, write comments! Good luck to you :)

ADB is not a program, but drivers for Windows 10. You need to download the file in order not only to introduce your PC and your Android smartphone, but also so that you have a convenient tool for rooting and gaining full access to your mobile phone.

If you are wondering how to root your mobile phone, then you are on the right page. No, here you will not find a program to carry out this procedure, but here you will receive a convenient driver, without which you will not succeed. No matter how powerful and advanced a program you have for obtaining administrative rights on your device, you will still not be able to connect and get full access at the same level as you will get after installing ADB drivers.

We have already described the main task above. But let's take a closer look at how exactly you can use this product. Let's start with the basics - this package is not exactly what you need. This is a universal utility - . The utility itself will select the necessary components, and you will not have to do anything additional. If you are attracted by this idea, then follow the following procedure:

• Install universal;
• Connect your phone;
• Start selecting the component and install it.

Restarting the PC will only be required in the most extreme cases. But if Windows 10 asks you to do this, then of course you have no choice but to agree. After all, until you restart, you will not be able to apply the changes that occurred during the installation process.

How to use ADB drivers

Since this solution is not a full-fledged utility, which is, for example, Peers.tv or any other classic utility, you will not be able to use it. It has neither a visual interface nor physical capabilities. Why download it then? Everything is simple and exactly the same as in the case of any other drivers for your computer. You need to install them in order for everything to work as correctly as possible. And specifically in this case, so that your Windows 10 PC can pick up the phone normally or simply see it.

Please note that you can download the driver for ADB for free. This means you don’t need to pay money to those who sell the component for Windows 10 on a paid basis. Also, you do not need to select the necessary assembly depending on your OS, because the installation file is so universal that it is suitable for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Also note that if it itself is in Russian, this does not mean that there is an ADB driver for your phone, also in Russian. It is likely that it will be in English, because... This is exactly the case with all popular phone models from XiAomi, Samsung, HTC, Sony and others.
