They are both essentially the same thing i.e they offer the same functionality for the standard user.
Both of them install ADB on your PC, but Platform tools has more advanced options and is more suitable for devs while Minimal ADB can be considered to be a scaled down version of Platform Tools.
I suggest you use Minimal ADB as it's both lightweight and simple.

since fastboot and adb are common throughout the ecosystem (Google provided apps as part of the SDK), does that mean I can use the fastboot/adb I'm using on my one x on my TF700?

Since adb and fastboot run on your PC, you can use the same tools for all Android devices. Note that the fastboot implementation in the TF700's bootloader is limited, it only accepts a subset of possible options and only likes to flash blobs in a specific format.

Something has happened to your phone. If you do what I describe above, any custom ROM should work.

@lost101 i hope this could help him
it won't work that easy. On what window you are ?? I don't give a damn which driver you installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
just install the latest version from here.... Let it download and then i
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE USB DEBUGGING ON FROM DEVELOPERS SETTINGS
it will ask you for something like installing system wide adb and fastboot devices. Let it install at last skip the installing device software.
Now just go to c drive of your system or drive in which you have your window installed(drive) installed. Now you see adb named folder on the root of the drive.
Just press shift key first and right click then, you will see there a option of opening with command prompt or something.
Voila !!! you are now in adb .
To check you have right driver installed
give coomand like: adb devices this will show your device in the window...
if you see your device then type command: adb reboot bootloader this will bring you into bootloader menu...
TO check here that you are properly set yourself type command: fastboot devices

I am on win. 7. It first gave me an error adpwinal.DLL file is missing from your PC while I was trying to flash those commands in cmd window, so I installed that file on my PC. Whenever I am in fastboot mode now it doesn't recognise me device. & normally it does. I think the problem with fastboot files, it shows USB connected. Will try what u said.

So I'm trying to install TWRP but I cannot find the appropriate folders because I cannot find the adb.exe or the fastboot.exe.
I used the adb installer successfully and I can use the CMD to boot my device to the bootloader.
The device is also unlocked.
You used the Minimal Adb fastboot installer?
Look for folder C:/minimal adb.
Could also be C:/adb depending which version you installed.
Use the search function in Explorer

Aha, I looked at two different guides. I used the 15 seconds ADB installer.
Thanks, found it in system
Yes.
You sure you are searching your C drive?
What Windows version do you have? Explorer's search function always stank. Less so in Win10 but still....
Took Windows to find my adb 3 minutes. Saladin needs 30 seconds...
FreeCommander is also a neat file explorer....
Look on C:\Program Files too

Hello,
fellow rooters, I lost my root after updating with oxygen updater to Android 10 and would like it back. Im not happy seeing this dark grey instead of my amoled black, however.
Does anyone has an guide how to root OP6 with stable Android 10 on mac, with the flashing commands and etc I need to make it work ?
If not Id be happy as well with a good guide for Windows, the ones I can see in this forum are with the Open Beta version which obviously is not compatible.
Thanks for the Help!
Rooting your phone is the same as on Windows. You just need to download Android Platform Tools for Mac and launch Terminal instead of CMD. Commands are the same.
Use the platform tools, unzip it and copy fastboot and adb to the path /usr/local/bin of your Mac.
Right click on fastboot and open it (otherwise it could be that macOS Mojave or Catalina blocks it). After that you should be good to go and just have to open Terminal and should be able to use "fastboot flash xyz.img".
This should be in questions and answers not this sub forum

In mac you gotta add "./" before fastboot
For example : './fastboot flash xyz.img '
Does anyone have a list of safe to remove Xiaomi apps? Like, apps I can remove without breaking any of the functions the phone has.
Thanks in advance.
you can just install xiaomi.eu, it is debloated edition of miui
This is all i found that could be removed without bricking, make sure to NOT uninstall com.miui.securitycenter as this WILL end up in a bootloop
thanks, this wont break any of the features like the MIUI optimization or the floating windows, right?

sorry for the late response, no. as far as i know it won't break anything but maybe themes or something. you can always do a factory reset and uninstall one by one
Actually, there is this tool that supposedly list all the safe apps to remove.
