Hey guys
i´ve got something for the lazy ones of you
if you don't want to install the whole android sdk to use adb or fastboot you can just install this file.
it´s a package which extracts
fastboot.exe
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
AdbWinApi.dll
adb.exe
to your Windows directory.
so - extract the file
then just doubleclick it, press install and you´re done.
you even don't have to reboot your computer
here´s the proof that it works.

will this work with windows 7? i already have adb running on my vista but i need it on the 7. Windows 7 has a sync problem, will this cut that out of the way?
Doesn't work for me.. When I run adb.exe just a random command showed and then closed. How can I use this?

Open cmd. Then use the command "adb whatever".
Edit: Just saw this extracts them to the Windows directory.

Start -> Run -> cmd
then in the black window that pops up, type adb
It will show you all the possible options to use with the adb command.
Like:
adb shell
adb reboot
adb logcat
So does this work?
Thanks for all the input. So all I have to do is connect my phone and everything follows or should I configure something in my phone like turning on the Debug? Sorry I am not familiar with ADB, I was just about to read its FAQ.
that just extracts the adb binaries into the windows folder + usb driver + fastboot binaries. if you run it the nothing will happen, you have to run it via cmd.
for example adb shell.
i'm using this on windows 7 and it´s working for me.
JUST EXTRACT, INSTALL AND YOU CAN RUN ADB + FASTBOOT VIA CMD
DON´T FORGET TO ACTIVATE USB DEBUGGING IN YOUR DEVICE
works great!!!!!
Couple of suggestions for the op, look up stericsons autosign script and incorporate its's making the tools folder path of ur system $path. Also write the fact that u gotta install adb drivers for ur phone to work.

you don't have to install anything, just install and you are good to go

Hmm, u sure ? Cuz i always download the sdk -> add tools to my path -> run the sdk and select to download usb drivers package -> then give windows those drivers to install.
Anyway, u seem to be a installing adb expert, help this guy out will ya

here´s the proof that it works.
Ok, then u should clarify to extract to C:\Windows. If u extract it anywhere else it wont work, reason it works from C:\windows is because by default windows will look for in that folder for a command. Also can u go in device manager and check ur device's drivers, u have probably previously installed them as i have not heard of adb working w/o installing the device drivers.
it´s a package which extracts
fastboot.exe
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
AdbWinApi.dll
adb.exe

Theres only one explanation i can fathom, u had installed the drivers previously, just hadnt setup adb. They're 2 different things.
I mean if getting adb to work was as simple as extracting it and cd'in to that directory and running adb shell, why wud google make us install drivers ? Btw AdbWinUsbApi.dll is not the driver, its the dll that adb uses to communicate with the usb drivers of windows, then windows redirects it to ur phone. Here are the contents of usb_driver which u get when u download the sdk.
amd64 (64 bit drivers)
androidwinusb86.cat
androidwinusba64.cat
android_winusb.inf (part of the driver that guides windows depending on ur os (64/32) to the appropriate folder)
i386 (32 bit drivers)
source.properties
but tell my why is it working for me and others?
Hmm it could be possible that he has windows setup to automatically find and install drivers

It appears (and this has been verified by multiple installs by myself and people on #android and #android-dev on freenode) that fastboot has been removed from the R14 release of the Android SDK.
Does anyone know how to get fastboot via another method so I can unlock the boot loader of my Nexus S (my platform is Windows 7 SP1 X64)?
Thank you in advance.
I think I found the answer to my own question:
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r13-windows.zip
I don't think it's been a part of the Android SDK, at least for a while. I've always had to manually download the binary.
It can also be made in your build environment. Command: make fastboot. It will create the binary.
where to put that command? thx
Here's fastboot.exe: http://www.mediafire.com/?wrgw1erxw71o77a

You have to place it in the same folder containing adb.exe (platform-tools for the last sdk).
Any way to setup a computer with ADB and Fastboot without admin rights? Can I setup up a flash drive with Fedora or Ubuntu, boot into that and get access? If so how do you set up drivers and adb on a linux distro.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
I'm using Linuxmint 12 and I have ADB setup. Just click on the other platforms option and it gives you a pretty accurate description of how to set it up on linux.
I'm actually having a problem with using "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" on the bootloader unlock process because I get an error in the terminal saying the fastboot command isn't recognized in the terminal.
On Linux, I'm pretty sure all you need is the adb or fastboot executable. However, you must run it as root (either sudo or su into root). You can grab the exectuables by download the Android SDK.
If it's saying it can't find the fastboot executable, you're probably not in the same folder as fastboot. Type 'ls' and see if you see fastboot in the list. If it's not there, it won't work.
Hi,
is it just me or is there no answer to the question of the first post? Is there any way to install adb on a win Pc without admin rights?
regards
So i have an honor 8 (frd-l09) and i want to root it. The problem is that i only have an mac (that my school gave to me). Any applications or methods that could help me??
HI Samer
Its not entirely different from windows method..Below are some steps to follow:
1) As part of the instructions you would have seen the commands to run adb and fastboot.. For these download the Mac version of platform tools from the below link - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
2) To run these commands move all the necessary custom recovery files to the folder where the adb and fastboot files exist.
3) You will have to follow the methods listed in the forum like this one, for instance unlock the bootloader, install custom rom and run the SuperSu or Magisk Manager files
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
4) Only thing to note is when you run the adb or fastboot commands use "./" before the commands for instance - $ ./adb devices
5) Follow the instructions and you should be able to do it
Do let me know if you have any trouble doing it
So I want to flash stock rom back but when flashing my laptop freeze and I cannot do anything....tried many times and same problem..try run adb command in platform tool and adb device list not showing my pixel..how to fix this problem?
The first time I got my pixel I had to manually install drivers from the official android developers website, after that my PC detected my phone when in ADB and fastboot.
Make sure you also have the latest platform tools (28.0.2), get them from here
My adb detect my pixel in fastboot command..but in adb command cannot detect "adb devices"

The latest is actually 29.0.1. They haven't been updating the changelog. Try to download it now, and you'll see.
