ADB, или Android Debug Bridge – это консольное приложение для ПК, с помощью которого можно управлять устройством на базе Android прямо с компьютера. Выглядит это так: сначала на компьютер устанавливаются инструментарий ADB  и драйвера для Android, потом мобильное устройство подключается к ПК через USB-кабель в режиме отладки, и, наконец, после запуска ADB в консоли (командной строке) выполняются специальные команды, инициирующие те или действия с гаджетом. Подробная информация о принципе работы самого средства отладки представлена на официальном сайте разработчика, поэтому мы останавливаться на этом не будем, а сразу перейдем к возможностям ADB и способам его установки на компьютер.

Для начала укажем зачем вообще нужен ADB. С его помощью можно:

  • Перезагружать устройство в различных режимах;
  • Обмениваться файлами/папками с телефоном;
  • Устанавливать/удалять приложения;
  • Устанавливать кастомные прошивки (в том числе, TWRP Recovery);
  • Производить разблокировку графического ключа Андроид;
  • Выполнять разного рода скрипты.

Инструмент ADB обычно устанавливается в связке с консольным приложением Fastboot.

Установка ADB и Fastboot из пакета Android SDK

Этот способ предусматривает использование официального средства разработки и тестирования приложений Android Studio. Переходим на страницу https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html и находим заголовок «Get just the command line tools». Ниже скачиваем архив SDK tools для Windows (перед загрузкой соглашаемся с условиями использования).

Скачиваем SDK tools для Windows шаг 1

Скачиваем SDK tools для Windows шаг 2

Распаковываем архив на диск С. В нашем случае файлы были извлечены в папку sdk-tools-windows-3859397.

Папка sdk-tools-windows-3859397

Заходим в директорию, а потом переходим в каталог tools/bin. Здесь нас интересует файл sdkmanager, который и поможет установить ADB и Fastboot на компьютер.

Расположение файла sdkmanager

Далее все действия будут производиться в командной строке Windows. Запускаем ее от имени администратора.

Запуск командной строки от имени администратора

Теперь необходимо открыть папку с sdkmanager, для чего в консоли следует выполнить команду cd C:sdk-tools-windows-3859397toolsbin, где C:sdk-tools-windows-3859397toolsbin – путь к файлу sdkmanager.

Переходим в папку с sdkmanager через командную строку

Если вы распаковали Android SDK не на диск С, а в какое-то иное место, то полный адрес можно будет узнать с помощью верхней строки Проводника (кликаем по конечной папке правой кнопкой мыши и жмем «Копировать адрес»).

Получение адреса с помощью Проводника Windows

Итак, мы перешли в toolsbin и теперь нам нужно выполнить команду sdkmanager «platform-tools», которая установит пакет Platform-tools, содержащий файлы ADB и Fastboot.

Установка пакета Platform tools

В ходе установки ознакомьтесь с лицензионным соглашением и нажмите Y для завершения операции.

Согласие с условиями использования

Если все прошло как надо, в корневой папке Android SDK появится каталог platform-tools с необходимыми файлами adb.exe и fastboot.exe.

Каталог platform-tools

Файлы adb.exe и fastboot.exe

Minimal ADB and Fastboot

Второй способ еще более простой. На форуме разработчиков Xda Developers можно скачать пакет Minimal ADB and Fastboot со всеми необходимыми файлами. Для этого заходим на страницу https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 и, кликнув по ссылке, загружаем установочный exe-файл.

Скачиваем Minimal ADB and Fastboot

Запускаем его и следуем инструкциям.

Запускаем exe-файл

Мы установили Minimal ADB and Fastboot в корень того же диска С.

Выбираем директорию установки Minimal ADB and Fastboot

В принципе, на этом все. Осталось проверить наличие файлов.

Проверяем наличие файлов adb и fastboot

Проверка работы ADB и Fastboot

После установки приложений любым из приведенных способов необходимо удостовериться в корректности работы утилит. Для этого через командную строку заходим в папку с файлами adb и fastboot (команда cd C:sdk-tools-windows-3859397platform-tools или cd C:Minimal ADB and Fastboot), а затем выполняем команду adb help. Она должна вывести версию установленного Android Debug Bridge и список команд ADB. Если вы видите примерно то же, что изображено на приведенном ниже скриншоте, значит все работает правильно.

Выполняем команду adb help

Теперь следует подключить к ПК мобильное устройство и проверить, увидит ли его приложение ADB. Подсоединяем телефон (или планшет) к компьютеру с помощью USB-кабеля, выставляем в настройках режим подключения MTP (обмен файлами) и заходим в раздел Настройки – Для разработчиков.

Выбор режима MTP

Раздел Для разработчиков в Настройках смартфона

Если такого пункта в настройках нет, то переходим на страницу «О телефоне» и семь раз кликаем по строке с номером сборки.

Активация режима разработчика

Режим разработчика будет активирован, и раздел «Для разработчиков» станет доступным. Заходим в него и включаем опцию «Отладка по USB».

Включение отладки по USB

После всех этих манипуляций с гаджетом в командной строке Windows вводим команду adb devices. Она выведет информацию о подключенном устройстве примерно в таком формате, как на скриншоте.

Выводим список подключенных устройств командой adb devices

Далее попробуем проверить, работает ли fastboot. Здесь же в консоли прописываем fastboot reboot и жмем Enter. Мобильное устройство должно перезагрузиться в обычном режиме.

Таким образом, мы протестировали ADB и Fastboot и убедились, что Android Debug Bridge нормально функционирует, а, значит, теперь можно управлять телефоном через компьютер.

Если связь с устройством наладить не получается, то необходимо проверить наличие и корректность установки драйверов Андроид. Для этого при включенном режиме отладки заходим в «Диспетчер устройств» и смотрим, нет ли восклицательных знаков в ветке «Устройства USB» пункт «ADB Interface» (может называться немного по-другому).

Проверка наличия драйверов в Диспетчере устройств

При обнаружении неполадок пробуем переустановить драйвера. Скачать их можно на сайте производителя телефона или по адресу https://adb.clockworkmod.com/.

Android — платформа с открытым исходным кодом для мобильных устройств. Открытая среда поощряет множество мероприятий по разработке, которые в свою очередь приносят удивительные вещи. Android позволяет пользователю управлять системой и изменять элементы в соответствии с его предпочтениями. Поскольку многие пользователи Android или любого сообщества могут быть гиками, большинство из них зависят от тяжелой работы разработчиков. Следуя нашему руководству, вы можете легко установить ADB и Fastboot на свой компьютер.

Если у вас есть Android-устройство, вы можете получить рут-доступ, установить кастомное рекавери и попробовать различные пользовательские прошивки и модификации, чтобы получить максимальную кастомизацию и производительность. Хотя такие вещи дают хорошие результаты в большинстве случаев, иногда они могут привести к возникновению рисковых ситуаций.

Чтобы продолжать развитие Android, Google предоставляет множество параметров разработчика на каждом устройстве, и в то же время оберегает средних пользователей от любых проблем, и скрывает эти параметры. Одним из вариантов, найденных в разделе «Параметры разработчика», является отладка по USB, которая позволяет пользователям считывать и записывать данные на устройстве с помощью компьютера. Чтобы ваше устройство могло правильно общаться с компьютером, у нас есть такие вещи, как ADB (Android Debug Bridge) и Fastboot, которые необходимо установить на компьютер.

Если вы являетесь активным пользователем Android, вам может потребоваться установить ADB и Fastboot, прежде чем устанавливать систему, ядро или образ восстановления, загружать установочный zip файл и выполнять другие действия с помощью команд ADB и Fastboot. Google предоставляет Android SDK, который содержит файлы ADB и Fastboot, но многие пользователи находят их установку на компьютер немного сложной. Кроме того, на самом деле нецелесообразно загружать 500 МБ-файл, чтобы установить ADB и Fastboot.

If you are an Android Developer, you know the adb and fastboot commands. Without the compatible drivers present on your PC, We can’t make those commands work. Most of the middle users who are using the adb commands for Rooting and flashing firmware don’t need Android Studio. The other choice is SDK platform tools; they also have more than 50MB, and configuration may be hard compared with this minimal adb and fastboot method. So, the software should be simple, like installing a driver. There should be no mess with the USB Port configurations and System Configurations. This is the place where you can use these drivers. When you are going to test the app or something, this will not suffice for you. You need other tools. When your work is Root and Flashing firmware, Yes, you can use this minimal method.

All ADB Commands

There are various things you can do with ADB; this tool supports a lot of commands to trigger most functions. Most of them deal with the recovery mode. I try to cover some essential commands.

Note: you must activate “Developer Options” on the device and turn on “USB Debugging” on the Android device before running ADB commands.

Apply Update From ADB Screenshot

Commands List

When you want to execute these commands on the terminal, Add adb before every command. Example- reboot> adb reboot.

  • reboot bootloader – Reboots Android device in bootloader mode
  • reboot – Reboots Android phone in normal mode
  • push – Move a file from the local system to an Android phone’s location
  • devices – Displays all connected ADB compatible devices
  • pull – Moves a file from Android to your PC
  • install – Installs an app from your system’s .apk file location to your Android device
  • connect – Use ADB commands over Wi-Fi Network
  • backup – Backs up the Android device
  • shell screencap – Captures a screenshot of the device
  • sideload file – Push the file to your mobile device and Install it.

Launching ADB requires you to know about CMD – Command Prompt. This is because you need to start CMD and use commands to access the folder where you extracted the Platform Tools and launch adb.exe.

All Fastboot commands

Fastboot installs alongside ADB when you extract the ZIP file. Fastboot allows you to run commands on an Android device that is in bootloader mode. There are, however, other ways to use an Android device in bootloader mode, but using Fastboot is the best option. Also, it is possible to unlock an Android device bootloader using Fastboot to install a custom system file.

However, before Fastboot commands can work on an Android device, you must activate “Developer Options” on the device and turn on “USB Debugging.” Fastboot commands will work only in your mobile fastboot mode. The key combinations to boot your mobile into fastboot may vary depending on the manufacturers.

fastboot boot recovery

Commands list

When you want to execute these commands on the terminal, Add fastboot before every command. Example- devices> fastboot devices.

  • oem lock – re-locks the bootloader of an unlocked device
  • devices – Shows the serial number of a connected Android device
  • flash recovery (filename) – Flash the file from PC
  • boot recovery (filename) – Boot the data from PC
  • oem unlock – Unlock the bootloader of the connected Android device

What is Minimal ADB Fastboot tool?

Developed by Shimp208, the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool for Windows just like the 15 Seconds ADB Installer package. The user need to double click on the installer .exe file to install ADB and Fastboot on the system. In this case, the commands can be executed from anywhere in the command window and need not go to the actual directory where it is extracted.

Unlike the traditional ADB and Fastboot utilities which are available as standalone executable files. Every time the user has to go to the actual location of ADB and Fastboot directory and execute the command, which is not easy for beginners.

The same is applied for the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool for Windows which is at least 2 years old.

The latest update in the series was v1.4.3 which was released on 9th February 2018 which is quite old. As of writing this article, the ADB and fastboot version on the Minimal ADB Fastboot v1.4.3 was v1.0.39 and the latest ADB and fastboot version running is 1.0.41 (as of Feb 2020).
